Climate change is one of the greatest threats to the persistence of coral reefs. Sustained and
ongoing increases in ocean temperatures and acidification are altering the structure and …

Hard, or stony, corals make rocks that can, on geological time scales, lead to the formation of
massive reefs in shallow tropical and subtropical seas. In both historical and contemporary …

Ocean warming and acidification threaten the future growth of coral reefs. This is because
the calcifying coral reef taxa that construct the calcium carbonate frameworks and cement …

Scleractinian (hard) corals are fundamental to the geomorphology, biodiversity, and
structure of coral reef ecosystems (Goreau 1963, Hoegh-Guldberg 2004, Pratchett et al …

As climate change challenges organismal fitness by creating a phenotype–environment
mismatch, phenotypic plasticity generated by epigenetic mechanisms (eg, DNA methylation) …

Rising seawater temperature and ocean acidification threaten the survival of coral reefs. The
relationship between coral physiology and its microbiome may reveal why some corals are …

Beneficial effects of CO2 on photosynthetic organisms will be a key driver of ecosystem
change under ocean acidification. Predicting the responses of macroalgal species to ocean …

Metabolic rate determines the physiological and life-history performances of ectotherms.
Thus, the extent to which such rates are sensitive and plastic to environmental perturbation …

Ocean acidification is a threat to the continued accretion of coral reefs, though some
undergo daily fluctuations in pH exceeding declines predicted by 2100. We test whether …

As the surface ocean equilibrates with rising atmospheric CO2, the pH of surface seawater is
decreasing with potentially negative impacts on coral calcification. A critical question is …
