The global loss and degradation of coral reefs, as a result of intensified frequency and
severity of bleaching events, is a major concern. Evidence of heat stress affecting corals …

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 …

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 …

Loss of endosymbiotic algae (“bleaching”) under heat stress has become a major problem
for reef-building corals worldwide. To identify genes that might be involved in triggering or …

The emergence of genomic tools for reef-building corals and symbiotic anemones comes at
a time when alarming losses in coral cover are being observed worldwide. These tools hold …

The acclimatization capacity of corals is a critical consideration in the persistence of coral
reefs under stresses imposed by global climate change. The stress history of corals plays a …

Most of the work on the impact of elevated temperature and light on Symbiodinium‐
invertebrate symbioses have focused primarily on how the photosynthetic (algal) partner is …

Wild populations increasingly experience extreme conditions as climate change amplifies
environmental variability. How individuals respond to environmental extremes determines …

Background The most diverse marine ecosystems, coral reefs, depend upon a functional
symbiosis between cnidarian hosts and unicellular dinoflagellate algae. The molecular …

Coral reefs represent the most diverse marine ecosystem on the planet, yet they are
undergoing an unprecedented decline due to a combination of increasing global and local …
