Population genetics of reef coral endosymbionts (Symbiodinium, Dinophyceae)
Symbiodinium is a diverse genus of unicellular dinoflagellate symbionts associating with
various marine protists and invertebrates. Although the broadscale diversity and …

Coral recruitment: patterns and processes determining the dynamics of coral populations
PJ Edmunds - Biological Reviews, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Coral recruitment describes the addition of new individuals to populations, and it is one of
the most fundamental demographic processes contributing to population size. As many coral …

The Coral Trait Database, a curated database of trait information for coral species from the global oceans
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 …

Limits to the thermal tolerance of corals adapted to a highly fluctuating, naturally extreme temperature environment
Naturally extreme temperature environments can provide important insights into the
processes underlying coral thermal tolerance. We determined the bleaching resistance of …

Excess algal symbionts increase the susceptibility of reef corals to bleaching
Rising ocean temperatures associated with global climate change are causing mass coral
bleaching and mortality worldwide. Understanding the genetic and environmental factors …

Whole transcriptome analysis reveals changes in expression of immune-related genes during and after bleaching in a reef-building coral
Climate change is negatively affecting the stability of natural ecosystems, especially coral
reefs. The dissociation of the symbiosis between reef-building corals and their algal …

The responses of eight coral reef calcifiers to increasing partial pressure of CO2 do not exhibit a tipping point
The objective of this study was to investigate whether a tipping point exists in the
calcification responses of coral reef calcifiers to CO2. We compared the effects of six partial …

Coral Energy Reserves and Calcification in a High-CO2 World at Two Temperatures
Rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations threaten coral reefs globally by causing ocean
acidification (OA) and warming. Yet, the combined effects of elevated p CO2 and …

Divergent bleaching and recovery trajectories in reef-building corals following a decade of successive marine heatwaves
Increasingly frequent marine heatwaves are devastating coral reefs. Corals that survive
these extreme events must rapidly recover if they are to withstand subsequent events, and …

Fast coral reef calcifiers are more sensitive to ocean acidification in short‐term laboratory incubations
To identify the properties of taxa sensitive and resistant to ocean acidification (OA), we
tested the hypothesis that coral reef calcifiers differ in their sensitivity to OA as predictable …
