Climatic extremes are becoming increasingly common against a background trend of global
warming. In the oceans, marine heatwaves (MHWs)—discrete periods of anomalously warm …

Anthropogenic-mediated climate change severely affects the oceans. The most common
definition of a Marine heatwave (MHW) considers that water temperatures rise above the …

Mass thermal bleaching events are a primary threat to coral reefs, yet the sublethal impacts,
particularly on energetics and reproduction, are poorly characterized. Given that the …

Persistent ocean temperature extremes, known as marine heatwaves (MHWs) and marine
cold-spells (MCSs), can be devastating for warm-water coral reefs. However, the difference …

Long-term demographic studies at biogeographic transition zones can elucidate how body
size mediates disturbance responses. Focusing on subtropical reefs in eastern Australia, we …

Filamentous viruses are hypothesized to play a role in stony coral tissue loss disease
(SCTLD) through infection of the endosymbiotic dinoflagellates (Family Symbiodiniaceae) of …

Detecting the impacts of natural and anthropogenic disturbances that cause declines in
organisms or changes in community composition has long been a focus of ecology …

Viruses can affect coral health by infecting their symbiotic dinoflagellate partners
(Symbiodiniaceae). Yet, viral dynamics in coral colonies exposed to environmental stress …

Marine heatwaves (MHW) are threatening tropical coral reef ecosystems, leading to mass
bleaching events worldwide. The combination of heat stress with high irradiance is known to …

Given the rapid, global decline in the health and abundance of coral reefs, increased
investments in restoration-based interventions-including asexual and sexual propagation …
