Anthropogenic climate change and environmental degradation destroy coral reefs, the
ecosystem services they provide, and the livelihoods of close to a billion people who …

The global impacts of climate change are evident in every marine ecosystem. On coral reefs,
mass coral bleaching and mortality have emerged as ubiquitous responses to ocean …

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 …

Epigenetic pathways are essential in different biological processes and in phenotype-
environment interactions in response to different stressors and they can induce phenotypic …

Reef-building corals thriving in extreme thermal environments may provide genetic variation
that can assist the evolution of populations to rapid climate warming. However, the feasibility …

Marine organisms' persistence hinges on the capacity for acclimatization and adaptation to
the myriad of interacting environmental stressors associated with global climate change. In …

Diseases of tropical reef organisms is an intensive area of study, but despite significant
advances in methodology and the global knowledge base, identifying the proximate causes …

Stony corals build the framework of coral reefs, ecosystems of immense ecological and
economic importance. The existence of these ecosystems is threatened by climate change …

The swiftly changing climate presents a challenge to organismal fitness by creating a
mismatch between the current environment and phenotypes adapted to historic conditions …

Anomalously high ocean temperatures have increased in frequency, intensity, and duration
over the last several decades because of greenhouse gas emissions that cause global …
