[HTML][HTML] Corals at the edge of environmental limits: A new conceptual framework to re-define marginal and extreme coral communities
The worldwide decline of coral reefs has renewed interest in coral communities at the edge
of environmental limits because they have the potential to serve as resilience hotspots and …

Decadal demographic shifts and size-dependent disturbance responses of corals in a subtropical warming hotspot
Long-term demographic studies at biogeographic transition zones can elucidate how body
size mediates disturbance responses. Focusing on subtropical reefs in eastern Australia, we …

Refugia under threat: Mass bleaching of coral assemblages in high‐latitude eastern Australia
Environmental anomalies that trigger adverse physiological responses and mortality are
occurring with increasing frequency due to climate change. At species' range peripheries …

Successive marine heatwaves cause disproportionate coral bleaching during a fast phase transition from El Niño to La Niña
The frequency and intensity of marine heatwaves that result in coral bleaching events have
increased over recent decades and led to catastrophic losses of reef-building corals in many …

Comparing patterns of taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity in reef coral communities
Biodiversity defines the variety of living organisms on this planet and is often quantified by
the total number of species. However, species richness is insufficient in accounting for the …

Factors limiting the range extension of corals into high-latitude reef regions
Reef-building corals show a marked decrease in total species richness from the tropics to
high latitude regions. Several hypotheses have been proposed to account for this pattern in …

Infectivity and stress tolerance traits affect community assembly of plant pathogenic fungi
Understanding how ecological communities assemble is an urgent research priority. In this
study, we used a community ecology approach to examine how ecological and evolutionary …

The projected degradation of subtropical coral assemblages by recurrent thermal stress
Subtropical coral assemblages are threatened by similar extreme thermal stress events to
their tropical counterparts. Yet, the mid‐and long‐term thermal stress responses of corals in …
