an encrusting or upright form, often of considerable size. Defensive polyps protruding from …

Mass coral bleaching events caused by elevated seawater temperatures result in extensive
coral loss throughout the tropics, and are projected to increase in frequency and severity. If …

Although it was demonstrated 20 years ago that mass spectrometric U–Th methods are
capable of high-precision dating of young corals, the use of this approach to decipher recent …

Mass coral bleaching events caused by elevated seawater temperatures, have resulted in
extensive coral mortality throughout the tropics over the past few decades,. With continued …

Trait-based approaches advance ecological and evolutionary research because traits
provide a strong link to an organism's function and fitness. Trait-based research might lead …

Rising ocean temperatures associated with global climate change are causing mass coral
bleaching and mortality worldwide. Understanding the genetic and environmental factors …

Mass coral bleaching events have occurred on a global scale throughout the world's tropical
oceans and can result in large-scale coral mortality and degradation of coral reef …

Marine invertebrates representing at least five phyla are symbiotic with dinoflagellates from
the genus Symbiodinium. This group of single-celled protists was once considered to be a …

Dinoflagellates in the genus Symbiodinium are among the most abundant and important
group of eukaryotic microbes found in coral reef ecosystems. Recent analyses conducted on …

Thermally induced bleaching has caused a global decline in corals and the frequency of
such bleaching events will increase. Thermal bleaching severely disrupts the trophic …
