Symbioses are restructured by repeated mass coral bleaching
Survival of symbiotic reef-building corals under global warming requires rapid acclimation or
adaptation. The impact of accumulated heat stress was compared across 1643 symbiont …

Energetic and reproductive costs of coral recovery in divergent bleaching responses
Mass thermal bleaching events are a primary threat to coral reefs, yet the sublethal impacts,
particularly on energetics and reproduction, are poorly characterized. Given that the …

Deoxygenation lowers the thermal threshold of coral bleaching
Exposure to deoxygenation from climate warming and pollution is emerging as a
contributing factor of coral bleaching and mortality. However, the combined effects of heating …

Divergent expression of hypoxia response systems under deoxygenation in reef‐forming corals aligns with bleaching susceptibility
Exposure of marine life to low oxygen is accelerating worldwide via climate change and
localized pollution. Mass coral bleaching and mortality have recently occurred where reefs …

Different functional traits among closely related algal symbionts dictate stress endurance for vital Indo‐Pacific reef‐building corals
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 …
