The apparent ability of corals to acquire and maintain enhanced stress tolerance through a
dose-dependent environmental memory, which may persist for multiple years, has critical …

Stress memory is a highly conserved phenomenon that enables the survival of organisms.
There is evidence of stress memory in stony corals, but its costs and benefits remain largely …

Anthropogenic ocean warming is one of the biggest threats to marine organisms worldwide.
However, it remains unclear how the duration and intensity of thermal anomalies affect …

Marine heatwaves (MHWs), periods of anomalously warm sea surface temperature (SST)
which can have significant impacts on marine ecosystems, have increased in frequency and …

Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are becoming more frequent as a consequence of climate
change. These discrete events are causing widespread stress and mortality in marine …

Laboratory experiments have long been used to guide predictions of organismal stress in
response to our rapidly changing climate. However, the ability to simulate real world …

Coral reefs are biodiverse ecosystems that provide a plethora of ecosystem services
globally. Although coral reefs only cover less than 1% of the ocean floor, they support 25 …

Species are responding to climate change through shifts in biogeographical distributions
which can lead to profound changes in the ecosystem structure. My thesis explores how …

Marine heatwaves in the summertime when temperatures may exceed organisms' thermal
thresholds (“warm-season MHWs”) have huge impacts on the health and function of …
