After three decades of coral research on the impacts of climate change, there is a wide
consensus on the adverse effects of heat-stress, but the impacts of ocean acidification (OA) …

Background The capacity of reef-building corals to tolerate (or adapt to) heat stress is a key
factor determining their resilience to future climate change. Changes in coral microbiome …

High sea surface temperatures often lead to coral bleaching wherein reef-building corals
lose significant numbers of their endosymbiotic dinoflagellates (Symbiodiniaceae). These …

The flexibility to associate with more than one symbiont may considerably expand a host's
niche breadth. Coral animals and dinoflagellate micro-algae represent one of the most …

Reef‐building corals in the genus Porites are one of the most important constituents of Indo‐
Pacific reefs. Many species within this genus tolerate abnormally warm water and exhibit …

To survive in nutrient-poor waters corals rely on a symbiotic association with intracellular
microalgae. However, increased sea temperatures cause algal loss—known as coral …

The successful dispersal of coral larvae is vital to the population replenishment and reef
recovery and resilience. Despite that this critical early stage is susceptible to ocean warming …

Coral bleaching is a major threat to the persistence of coral reefs. Yet we lack detailed
knowledge of the metabolic interactions that determine symbiosis function and bleaching …

Ocean acidification (OA) is a severe threat to coral reefs mainly by reducing their
calcification rate. Identifying the resilience factors of corals to decreasing seawater pH is of …

The integrity of coral reefs worldwide is jeopardized by ocean acidification (OA). Most
studies conducted so far have focused on the vulnerability to OA of corals inhabiting shallow …
