Coral reefs rely upon the highly optimized coral–Symbiodiniaceae symbiosis, making them
sensitive to environmental change and susceptible to anthropogenic stress. Coral bleaching …

Increased loadings of nitrogen (N) from fertilizers, top soil, sewage, and atmospheric
deposition are important drivers of eutrophication in coastal waters globally. Monitoring …

Climate change is increasing the frequency and magnitude of temperature anomalies that
cause coral bleaching, leading to widespread mortality of stony corals that can …

Background The capacity of reef-building corals to tolerate (or adapt to) heat stress is a key
factor determining their resilience to future climate change. Changes in coral microbiome …

Terrestrial fungi play critical roles in nutrient cycling and food webs and can shape
macroorganism communities as parasites and mutualists. Although estimates for the number …

Background Beginning in the last century, coral reefs have suffered the consequences of
anthropogenic activities, including oil contamination. Chemical remediation methods, such …

Nitrogen pollution increases the susceptibility of corals to heat-induced bleaching. However,
different forms of nitrogen (nitrate vs. ammonium/urea) may have different impacts on …

Perturbations in natural systems generally are the combination of multiple interactions
among individual stressors. However, methods to interpret the effects of interacting stressors …

In the Anthropocene, humans, domesticated animals, wildlife, and their environments are
