Ultraviolet radiation and coral bleaching
Nature, 1993EPISODES of coral bleaching resulting from dissociation of endosymbiotic algae (zooxanthellae) from host coral tissues have occurred with increasing frequency over the past decade on reefs throughout the tropics1,2. These episodes have usually been attributed to increases in sea water temperatures3–10, but the mass bleaching events that occurred ...

BABELDOAB, PALAU-- The Nature Conservancy, a U.S. nonprofit, is helping this Pacific island nation establish the world9s first national network of marine protected areas aimed at thwarting bleaching, a phenomenon in which warm ocean waters trigger corals to expel symbiotic algae and starve (see main text).

Cell Biology of Coral Bleaching
2018Corals depend on a mutualistic symbiosis with intracellular dinoflagellates of the genus Symbiodinium for their energetic needs. The high productivity of corals in a challenging environment and the necessity of coordinating the metabolism and growth of each partner mean that severe stresses, such as sustained high temperatures, may destabilize the ...

Reef corals bleach to resist stress
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2009A rationale is presented here for a primary role of bleaching in regulation of the coral-zooxanthellae symbiosis under conditions of stress. Corals and zooxanthellae have fundamentally different metabolic rates, requiring active homeostasis to limit zooxanthellae production and manage translocated products to maintain the symbiosis.

Temperature Stress and Coral Bleaching
2004Reef corals are symbioses that consist of an animal partner and dinoflagellate algae commonly known as zooxanthellae. This delicate association functions only within a very narrow range of environmental conditions in shallow tropical seas (Wells 1957).

Ocean Acidification and Coral Bleaching
2018Simultaneous with the increases in global sea surface temperature, increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) is driving changes in the chemistry of the oceans—a process known as ocean acidification. Over the last two decades, reef-related ocean acidification research has focused primarily on the consequences of elevated CO2 on calcification.

Coral Bleaching: Causes and Mechanisms
2010Unprecedented changes in coral reef systems have focused attention on a wide range of stressors on local, regional, and global spatial scales but global climate change resulting in elevated seawater temperatures is widely accepted as having contributed to the major declines in coral cover or phase shifts in community structure on time scales never ...
