Anthropogenic climate change and environmental degradation destroy coral reefs, the
ecosystem services they provide, and the livelihoods of close to a billion people who …

The use of Beneficial Microorganisms for Corals (BMCs) has been proposed recently as a
tool for the improvement of coral health, with knowledge in this research topic advancing …

Coral-reef ecosystems are experiencing frequent and severe disturbance events that are
reducing global coral abundance and potentially overwhelming the natural capacity for reefs …

For over three decades, scientists have conducted heat-stress experiments to predict how
coral will respond to ocean warming due to global climate change. However, there are often …

Stony corals build the framework of coral reefs, ecosystems of immense ecological and
economic importance. The existence of these ecosystems is threatened by climate change …

Coral reef declines have been recorded for all major tropical ocean basins since the 1980s,
averaging approximately 30-50% reductions in reef cover globally. These losses are a result …

Background The coral microbiome plays a key role in host health by being involved in
energy metabolism, nutrient cycling, and immune system formation. Inoculating coral with …

Reef-building corals are critically important species that are threatened by anthropogenic
stresses including climate change. In attempts to understand corals' responses to stress and …

Reversing coral reef decline requires reducing environmental threats while actively restoring
reef ecological structure and function. A promising restoration approach uses coral breeding …

As marine species adapt to climate change, their heat tolerance will likely be under strong
selection. Yet trade-offs between heat tolerance and other life history traits could …
