Genomic basis for coral resilience to climate change
Recent advances in DNA-sequencing technologies now allow for in-depth characterization
of the genomic stress responses of many organisms beyond model taxa. They are especially …

Climate change disables coral bleaching protection on the Great Barrier Reef
Coral bleaching events threaten the sustainability of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR). Here we
show that bleaching events of the past three decades have been mitigated by induced …

Divergent expression of hypoxia response systems under deoxygenation in reef‐forming corals aligns with bleaching susceptibility
Exposure of marine life to low oxygen is accelerating worldwide via climate change and
localized pollution. Mass coral bleaching and mortality have recently occurred where reefs …

Rapid shifts in thermal reaction norms and tolerance of brooded coral larvae following parental heat acclimation
Thermal priming of reef corals can enhance their heat tolerance; however, the legacy effects
of heat stress during parental brooding on larval resilience remain understudied. This study …
