Many ecosystems around the world are rapidly deteriorating due to both local and global
pressures, and perhaps none so precipitously as coral reefs. Management of coral reefs …

Reef-building corals provide the foundation for the structural and biological diversity of coral-
reef ecosystems. These massive biological structures, which can be seen from space, are …

The evolution of tolerance to future climate change depends on the standing stock of genetic
variation for resistance to climate-related impacts [1, 2], but genes contributing to climate …

Unprecedented changes in coral reef systems have focused attention on a wide range of
stressors on local, regional, and global spatial scales but global climate change resulting in …

Recent evidence suggests that corals can acclimatize or adapt to local stress factors through
differential regulation of their gene expression. Profiling gene expression in corals from …

The success of any symbiosis under stress conditions is dependent upon the responses of
both partners to that stress. The coral symbiosis is particularly susceptible to small increases …

Coral reefs are unique marine ecosystems that form huge morphological structures
(frameworks) in today's oceans. These include coral islands (atolls), barrier reefs, and …

Spatially adjacent habitats on coral reefs can represent highly distinct environments, often
harbouring different coral communities. Yet, certain coral species thrive across divergent …

Coral reefs are under extreme threat due to a number of stressors, but temperature
increases due to changing climate are the most severe. Rising ocean temperatures coupled …

The intracellular coral–dinoflagellate symbiosis is the engine that underpins the success of
coral reefs, one of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet. However, the breakdown of …
