A coral-associated actinobacterium mitigates coral bleaching under heat stress
BackgroundThe positive effects of exposing corals to microorganisms have been reported though how the benefits are conferred are poorly understood....
-
Dissecting coral recovery: bleaching reduces reproductive output in Acropora millepora
Increasingly frequent and severe bleaching events driven by climate change are decreasing coral populations worldwide. Recovery of these populations...

Re(de)fining degree-heating week: coral bleaching variability necessitates regional and temporal optimization of global forecast model stress metrics
Tropical coral reefs are a critical ecosystem in global peril as a result of anthropogenic climate change, and effective conservation efforts require...
-
Coral thermal stress and bleaching enrich and restructure reef microbial communities via altered organic matter exudation
Coral bleaching is a well-documented and increasingly widespread phenomenon in reefs across the globe, yet there has been relatively little research...
-
No coral recovery three years after a major bleaching event in reefs in the Southwestern Atlantic refugium
Mass bleaching events are growing in duration and intensity. Besides causing extensive mortality, the progressively shorter time between events...

Symbiotic dinoflagellates divert energy away from mutualism during coral bleaching recovery
The future of coral reefs in a warming world depends on corals’ ability to recover from bleaching, the loss of their symbiotic dinoflagellate algae...
-
Coral-associated Symbiodiniaceae dynamics during the 2016 mass bleaching event in New Caledonia
The ecological success of shallow water corals hinges on their association with photosynthetic Symbiodiniaceae algae. This is affected by...
-
Fish and benthic communities in an offshore and well-managed coral reef after bleaching disturbance in the Philippines
Climate change is perhaps the greatest threat to coral reefs worldwide. However, there is spatial variation in the extent and severity of this...

Bleaching coral event due to cold waters in the Gulf of California: effect on Pocillopora cryptofauna
Coral reef fauna is imperiled by the loss of coral cover due to increased mass bleaching. However, few studies have focused on the immediate effects...
-
Greater functional diversity and redundancy of coral endolithic microbiomes align with lower coral bleaching susceptibility
The skeleton of reef-building coral harbors diverse microbial communities that could compensate for metabolic deficiencies caused by the loss of...
-
Heat-evolved microalgal symbionts increase thermal bleaching tolerance of coral juveniles without a trade-off against growth
Global climate change is threatening the persistence of coral reefs as associated summer heatwaves trigger the loss of microalgal endosymbionts...
-
Rapid shift in benthic assemblages following coral bleaching at an upper mesophotic habitat in Taiwan
Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs; typically, 30–150 m depths) have traditionally been considered potential refuges for shallow-water organisms, but...
-
Branching coral growth and visual health during bleaching and recovery on the central Great Barrier Reef
Coral reefs are under threat from cumulative impacts such as cyclones, crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS) outbreaks and climate-driven coral bleaching...
-
High temporal resolution of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) dynamics during heat stress does not support a causative role in coral bleaching
Human-induced climate change is causing ocean warming that triggers the breakdown of the coral–algal symbiosis. The proximate cause of this...

Coral bleaching at Low Isles during the 1928–1929 Great Barrier Reef Expedition
The Great Barrier Reef Expedition (1928–1929) observed two of the earliest known examples of coral bleaching during a 13-month stay on Low Isles,...
-
The role of background algal symbionts as drivers of shuffling to thermotolerant Symbiodiniaceae following bleaching in three Caribbean coral species
Reef-building corals host diverse dinoflagellate algal symbionts (Family Symbiodiniaceae) whose identity can influence host thermotolerance and whose...

Recovery of coral cover on inshore fringing reefs following mass coral bleaching in the Philippines
The management of human impacts on coral reefs in Southeast Asia is hampered by a shortage of site-specific, long-term information. At the center of...
-
Linking coral fluorescence phenotypes to thermal bleaching in the reef-building Galaxea fascicularis from the northern South China Sea
Coral fluorescence phenotypes have been suggested as an adaptation to a broad range of environmental conditions, yet the mechanisms linking thermal...
-
Dynamics of Coral Reef Communities in the Sekisei Lagoon, Japan, Following the Severe Mass Bleaching Event of 2016
The rise in sea surface temperature due to climate change has caused severe and widespread coral bleaching phenomena in the recent decades, resulting...
-
Differential responses of bacterial communities in coral tissue and mucus to bleaching
Investigation of the association between microbial communities in different compartments and the health status of coral hosts will support an...
