Cnidarian bleaching is a breakdown in the mutualistic symbiosis between host Cnidarians,
such as reef building corals, and their unicellular photosynthetic dinoflagellate symbionts …

Bleaching refers to the loss of colour in symbioses between dinoflagellate algae of the
genus Symbiodinium and marine benthic animals, eg corals. Bleaching generally results in …

It has been over 10 years since the phenomenon of extensive coral bleaching was first
described. In most cases bleaching has been attributed to elevated temperature, but other …

Coral reef bleaching, the temporary or permanent loss of photosynthetic microalgae
(zooxanthellae) and/or their pigments by a variety of reef taxa, is a stress response usually …

'It should be clear that the upper temperature limit for life cannot be accurately
defined'(Schmidt-Nielsen 1996). The thermal physiology of zooxanthellate reef corals is …

Despite extensive research into the coral bleaching phenomena there are very few data
which examine the population biology of affected species. These data are required in order …

Elevated temperatures and solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation have been implicated as recent
causes for the loss of symbiotic algae (ie, bleaching) in corals and other invertebrates with …

Tropical coral reefs harbour a reservoir of enormous biodiversity that is increasingly
threatened by direct human activities and indirect global climate shifts. Emerging coral …

Coral microbiomes are critical to holobiont health and functioning, but the stability of host–
microbial interactions is fragile, easily shifting from eubiosis to dysbiosis. The heat-induced …

The declining health of coral reefs worldwide is likely to intensify in response to continued
anthropogenic disturbance from coastal development, pollution, and climate change. In …
