Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 With the abnormal rise in ocean temperatures globally in recent years, coral bleaching is becoming common and serious. However, the response mechanisms and processes of coral symbionts to bleaching are not well understood. In this study, metagenomics and

Whole transcriptome analysis reveals changes in expression of immune-related genes during and after bleaching in a reef-building coral [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2015 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 symbiont, or coral bleaching, has been linked to increased sea surface ...

Further Flattening of a Degraded, Turbid Reef System Following a Severe Coral Bleaching Event
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Increasing incidence of severe coral bleaching events caused by climate change is contributing to extensive coral losses, shifts in species composition and widespread declines in the physical structure of coral reef ecosystems. With these ongoing changes

Heterotrophic compensation: a possible mechanism for resilience of coral reefs to global warming or a sign of prolonged stress? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Thermally induced bleaching has caused a global decline in corals and the frequency of such bleaching events will increase. Thermal bleaching severely disrupts the trophic behaviour of the coral holobiont, reducing the photosynthetically derived energy ...

A new, high-resolution global mass coral bleaching database. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Episodes of mass coral bleaching have been reported in recent decades and have raised concerns about the future of coral reefs on a warming planet. Despite the efforts to enhance and coordinate coral reef monitoring within and across countries, our ...

Mass coral bleaching in 2010 in the southern Caribbean. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Ocean temperatures are increasing globally and the Caribbean is no exception. An extreme ocean warming event in 2010 placed Tobago's coral reefs under severe stress resulting in widespread coral bleaching and threatening the livelihoods that rely on them.

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 ...

Symbiotic immuno-suppression: is disease susceptibility the price of bleaching resistance? [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Accelerating anthropogenic climate change threatens to destroy coral reefs worldwide through the processes of bleaching and disease. These major contributors to coral mortality are both closely linked with thermal stress intensified by anthropogenic ...

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1997 With a major El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) now stirring in the Pacific Ocean, scientists are concerned about the potential impact to fragile coral reefs.The ENSO could trigger massive bleaching of coral reefs in both the Pacific and Atlantic, according C.
