There is growing evidence that reef-building corals can acclimate to novel and challenging
thermal conditions. However, potential trade-offs that accompany acclimation remain largely …

Warm‐season marine heatwaves (MHWs) have greatly increased in frequency, severity, and
extent over the last few decades, driving more frequent and severe coral bleaching …

Microbiomes are essential features of holobionts, providing their hosts with key metabolic
and functional traits like resistance to environmental disturbances and diseases. In …

Exposure to more frequent ocean warming events is driving the loss of coral reef cover as
the window of recovery between episodes of bleaching reduces. Coral propagation via in …

Seawater hypoxia is increasing globally and can drive declines in organismal performance
across a wide range of marine taxa. However, the effects of hypoxia on early life stages (eg …

There is overwhelming evidence that tropical coral reefs are severely impacted by human
induced climate change. Assessing the capability of reef-building corals to expand their …

Across diverse taxa, sublethal exposure to abiotic stressors early in life can lead to benefits
such as increased stress tolerance upon repeat exposure. This phenomenon, known as …

Global warming threatens reef-building corals by challenging their natural adaptive capacity.
Therefore, interventions such as stress hardening by thermal preconditioning could become …

Three coral species, ie Acropora digitifera, Acropora pruinosa and Montipora peltiformis,
were transplanted on'chessboard'reef (CR) and natural substrate (NS) in Dapeng Bay, and …

Thermal variability can render corals stress resistant through a phenomenon coined as
“stress-hardening induced by environmental priming”. Fluctuations that involve high …
