Coral‐bleaching responses to climate change across biological scales
The global impacts of climate change are evident in every marine ecosystem. On coral reefs,
mass coral bleaching and mortality have emerged as ubiquitous responses to ocean …

Bacterial community dynamics are linked to patterns of coral heat tolerance
Ocean warming threatens corals and the coral reef ecosystem. Nevertheless, corals can be
adapted to their thermal environment and inherit heat tolerance across generations. In …

Reef-building corals farm and feed on their photosynthetic symbionts
Coral reefs are highly diverse ecosystems that thrive in nutrient-poor waters, a phenomenon
frequently referred to as the Darwin paradox. The energy demand of coral animal hosts can …
