Coral bleach-out in Belize [PDF]
Nature, 2000 The highest sea surface temperatures ever recorded, related both to the 1997–98 El Nino/Southern Oscillation and to global warming1, caused severe bleaching of corals worldwide in 1998 (ref. 2). This thermal anomaly induced mass mortality of scleractinian corals on lagoonal reefs in Belize, the first time that a coral population in the Caribbean has ...

Increase in the extent of mass coral bleaching over the past half-century, based on an updated global database [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 The recurrence of mass coral bleaching and associated coral mortality in the past few decades have raised questions about the future of coral reef ecosystems.

Moderate chlorophyll-a environments reduce coral bleaching during thermal stress in Yap, Micronesia [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Thermal-stress events on coral reefs lead to coral bleaching, mortality, and changes in species composition. The coral reefs of Yap, in the Federated States of Micronesia, however, remained largely unaffected by major thermal-stress events until 2020 ...

Future of coral bleaching research [PDF]
BioscienceAbstract Coral bleaching is the largest global threat to coral reef ecosystem persistence this century. Advancing our understanding of coral bleaching and developing solutions to protect corals and the reefs they support are critical.

Genotype by environment interactions in coral bleaching. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2021 Climate-driven reef decline has prompted the development of next-generation coral conservation strategies, many of which hinge on the movement of adaptive variation across genetic and environmental gradients. This process is limited by our understanding of how genetic and genotypic drivers of coral bleaching will manifest in different environmental ...

Nitric oxide production rather than oxidative stress and cell death is associated with the onset of coral bleaching in Pocillopora acuta [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Elevated seawater temperatures associated with climate change lead to coral bleaching. While the ultimate causes of bleaching are well understood, the proximate physiological mechanisms underlying the bleaching response are not as well defined.

Spatially restricted coral bleaching as an ecological manifestation of within-colony heterogeneity [PDF]
Communications BiologyCoral bleaching is a widespread stress response of reef-building corals to elevated sea temperatures, resulting in the loss of symbiotic algae and often leading to coral death and reef degradation. Although coral bleaching occurs globally, not all reefs,

Mesophotic coral communities escape thermal coral bleaching in French Polynesia [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2021 Climate change and consequent coral bleaching are causing the disappearance of reef-building corals worldwide. While bleaching episodes significantly impact shallow waters, little is known about their impact on mesophotic coral communities.

Remote Sensing, 2021 In recent years, coral reef ecosystems have been affected by global climate change and human factors, resulting in frequent coral bleaching events. A severe coral bleaching event occurred in the northwest of Hainan Island, South China Sea, in 2020.
