Stony corals heavily rely on their intracellular algal symbionts for energetical supply.
Increasing extreme weather driven by climate change often leads to disruption of the
symbiosis and to coral death, threatening the sole existence of coral reefs, the key
underwater ecosystems. As climate change mitigation outcomes are uncertain, it is important
to search for ways to increase coral resilience towards future climate conditions, thermal
extremes in particular. It has been shown that corals can withstand stress conditions better …
