The geographic footprint of mutualism: How mutualists influence species' range limits
Understanding mechanisms that generate range limits is central to knowing why species are
found where they are and how they will respond to environmental change. There is growing …

Patterns, dynamics and consequences of microplastic ingestion by the temperate coral, Astrangia poculata
Microplastics (less than 5 mm) are a recognized threat to aquatic food webs because they
are ingested at multiple trophic levels and may bioaccumulate. In urban coastal …

Lower cold tolerance of tropical Porites lutea is possibly detrimental to its migration to relatively high latitude refuges in the South China Sea
W Huang, E Yang, K Yu, L Meng, Y Wang… - Molecular …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
As high temperature stress due to climate change threatens tropical corals, cooler areas at
relatively high latitudes may be potential refuges. Tolerance to low temperatures is critical in …
