The three-dimensional (3D) structural design of solar evaporators has been considered as
one of the most promising approaches toward enhancing photothermal performance by …

The attenuation of light with increasing depth, along with reduced exposure to wave stress,
plays an important role in vertically structuring coral reef communities. Benthic …

Light quantity and quality are among the most important factors determining the physiology
and stress response of zooxanthellate corals. Yet, almost nothing is known about the light …

The potential effects of seasonal acclimatization on coral sensitivity to heat-stress, has
received limited attention despite differing bleaching thresholds for summer and winter. In …

Multiple scattering of light on coral skeleton enhances light absorption efficiency of coral
symbionts and plays a key role in the regulation of their internal diffuse light field. To …

In this study, we explore how the Caribbean coral Orbicella faveolata recovers after
bleaching, using fragments from 13 coral colonies exposed to heat stress (32° C) for ten …

Calcium carbonate skeletons of scleractinian corals amplify light availability to their algal
symbionts by diffuse scattering, optimizing photosynthetic energy acquisition. However, the …

In order to understand the contribution of pigmented coral tissues to the extraordinary optical
properties of the coral-symbiont-skeleton unit, we analyzed the associations between …

Green fluorescent protein (GFP)-like pigments are responsible for the vivid colouration of
many reef-building corals and have been proposed to act as photoprotectants. Their role …

The performance and function of reef corals depends on the genetic identity of their
symbiotic algal partners, with some symbionts providing greater benefits (eg, photosynthate …
