Bleaching of Hermatypic Corals
Russian Journal of Marine Biology, 2002In this paper, I review data on the magnitude and extent of reef coral bleaching events and consider modern hypotheses on the mechanisms of this natural phenomenon and experimental data lying at their basis. Four possible mechanisms of color loss by hermatypic corals have been confirmed experimentally: bacterial infection, change of zooxanthellae type ...

Scientific American, 1993
Extensive areas of the subtly colored coral reefs that gird tropical shores have been turning a dazzling white; some stretches of the affected coral have even died. Bleaching may be a call of distress from these complex and highly productive ecosystems, usually emitted when they experience abnormally high seawater temperamies.

Coral Lipidomes and Their Changes during Coral Bleaching
Russian Journal of Bioorganic Chemistry, 2020Numerous species of coral polyps form the structural basis of tropical coral reefs. Coral polyp tissues are rich in lipids. Currently, information on the composition of fatty acids and classes of coral lipid is reviewed. However, each lipid class represents a complex spectrum of molecular species of lipids, which is defined as the lipidome of a ...

Heterotrophic plasticity and resilience in bleached corals [PDF]
Nature, 2006 Mass coral bleaching events caused by elevated seawater temperatures have resulted in extensive coral mortality throughout the tropics over the past few decades. With continued global warming, bleaching events are predicted to increase in frequency and severity, causing up to 60% coral mortality globally within the next few decades.

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2003
Bleaching refers to the loss of colour in symbioses between dinoflagellate algae of the genus Symbiodinium and marine benthic animals, e.g. corals. Bleaching generally results in depressed growth and increased mortality, and it can be considered as a deleterious physiological response or ailment.

Science, 1990
Two researchers, Tom Goreau of the Discovery Laboratory in Jamaica and Raymond Hayes of Howard University, claim that they have evidence that nearly clinches the temperature connection to the bleached corals in the Caribbean and that the coral bleaching is an indication of Greenhouse warming.

Coral Bleaching in Space and Time
2009Large-scale coral bleaching was recorded as early as 1931, but severe bleaching on a regional or global scale was not documented until 1983. We use records from a global database of bleaching records to show that severe bleaching events occurred at a global level on four recent occasions and demonstrate that these events occurred in close temporal ...

The cell physiology of coral bleaching
2006Abstract Coral bleaching is one of the most studied phenomena associated with coral reefs. In the broadest sense, it is described as a color change that occurs in response to a range of stres- sors. Coral bleaching has affected coral reefs in recent mass bleaching events which are due to episodes of warmer than normal sea temperature. These changes are

Coral bleaching: causes and consequences [PDF]
Coral Reefs, 1997 It has been over 10 years since the phenomenon of extensive coral bleaching was first described. In most cases bleaching has been attributed to elevated temperature, but other instances involving high solar irradiance, and sometimes disease, have also been documented.

Reef corals bleach to survive change
Nature, 2001The bleaching of coral reefs, in which symbiotic algae are lost from reef-building invertebrates, is usually considered to be a drastic and damaging response to adverse environmental conditions1,2. Here I report results from transplant experiments involving different combinations of coral host and algal symbiont that support an alternative view, in ...
