Shifting paradigms in restoration of the world's coral reefs
Many ecosystems around the world are rapidly deteriorating due to both local and global
pressures, and perhaps none so precipitously as coral reefs. Management of coral reefs …

A broad‐taxa approach as an important concept in ecotoxicological studies and pollution monitoring
Aquatic invertebrates play a pivotal role in (eco) toxicological assessments because they
offer ethical, cost‐effective and repeatable testing options. Additionally, their significance in …

Standardized short‐term acute heat stress assays resolve historical differences in coral thermotolerance across microhabitat reef sites
Coral bleaching is one of the main drivers of reef degradation. Most corals bleach and suffer
mortality at just 1–2° C above their maximum monthly mean temperatures, but some species …

Exploring the Symbiodinium rare biosphere provides evidence for symbiont switching in reef-building corals
Reef-building corals possess a range of acclimatisation and adaptation mechanisms to
respond to seawater temperature increases. In some corals, thermal tolerance increases …

Host adaptation and unexpected symbiont partners enable reef‐building corals to tolerate extreme temperatures
Understanding the potential for coral adaptation to warming seas is complicated by
interactions between symbiotic partners that define stress responses and the difficulties of …

Elucidating gene expression adaptation of phylogenetically divergent coral holobionts under heat stress
As coral reefs struggle to survive under climate change, it is crucial to know whether they
have the capacity to withstand changing conditions, particularly increasing seawater …

The active spread of adaptive variation for reef resilience
The speed at which species adapt depends partly on the rates of beneficial adaptation
generation and how quickly they spread within and among populations. Natural rates of …

Adaptation to reef habitats through selection on the coral animal and its associated microbiome
Spatially adjacent habitats on coral reefs can represent highly distinct environments, often
harbouring different coral communities. Yet, certain coral species thrive across divergent …

Resilience in reef‐building corals: The ecological and evolutionary importance of the host response to thermal stress
C Drury - Molecular ecology, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Coral reefs are under extreme threat due to a number of stressors, but temperature
increases due to changing climate are the most severe. Rising ocean temperatures coupled …
