Spatial and temporal patterns of mass bleaching of corals in the Anthropocene
Tropical reef systems are transitioning to a new era in which the interval between recurrent
bouts of coral bleaching is too short for a full recovery of mature assemblages. We analyzed …

[HTML][HTML] Marine heatwave causes unprecedented regional mass bleaching of thermally resistant corals in northwestern Australia
Abstract In 2015/16, a marine heatwave associated with a record El Niño led to the third
global mass bleaching event documented to date. This event impacted coral reefs around …
