Increase in the extent of mass coral bleaching over the past half-century, based on an updated global database. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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.

Combination Analysis of Metatranscriptome and Metagenome Reveal the Composition and Functional Response of Coral Symbionts to Bleaching During an El Niño Event

open access: yesFrontiers 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

Short-term coral bleaching is not recorded by skeletal boron isotopes. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Coral skeletal boron isotopes have been established as a proxy for seawater pH, yet it remains unclear if and how this proxy is affected by seawater temperature. Specifically, it has never been directly tested whether coral bleaching caused by high water

Further Flattening of a Degraded, Turbid Reef System Following a Severe Coral Bleaching Event

open access: yesFrontiers 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]

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

Mass coral bleaching in 2010 in the southern Caribbean. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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]

open access: yesNature, 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 ...

Whole transcriptome analysis reveals changes in expression of immune-related genes during and after bleaching in a reef-building coral [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal 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 ...

Hurricanes benefit bleached corals [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2007
Recent, global mass-mortalities of reef corals due to record warm sea temperatures have led researchers to consider global warming as one of the most significant threats to the persistence of coral reef ecosystems. The passage of a hurricane can alleviate thermal stress on coral reefs, highlighting the potential for hurricane-associated cooling to ...
