Coral community response to bleaching on a highly disturbed reef [PDF]
, 2016 While many studies of coral bleaching report on broad, regional scale responses, fewer examine variation in susceptibility among coral taxa and changes in community structure, before, during and after bleaching on individual reefs.

Density and Bleaching of Corals and Their Relationship to the Coral Symbiotic Community
Diversity, 2023 Corals provide an important habitat for diverse fauna. The habitat is especially rich in branching species. Each colony harbors several species and dozens of individuals, forming an integrated symbiotic community. Factors affecting the diversity and abundance of coral symbionts are poorly understood.

Borneo coral reefs subject to high sediment loads show evidence of resilience to various environmental stressors [PDF]
, 2019 For reefs in South East Asia the synergistic effects of rapid land development, insufficient environmental policies and a lack of enforcement has led to poor water quality and compromised coral health from increased sediment and pollution.

Coral Bleaching Independent of Photosynthetic Activity [PDF]
Current Biology, 2013 The global decline of reef-building corals is due in part to the loss of algal symbionts, or "bleaching," during the increasingly frequent periods of high seawater temperatures. During bleaching, endosymbiotic dinoflagellate algae (Symbiodinium spp.) either are lost from the animal tissue or lose their photosynthetic pigments, resulting in host ...

Detecting coral bleaching, using QuickBird multi-temporal data: A feasibility study at Kish Island, the Persian Gulf. [PDF]
, 2013 Coral bleaching events have become more frequent and intense worldwide and speculated to be a severe threat for coral survival in future. The Persian Gulf, as one of the warmest seas, has also experienced coral mortalities and bleaching events ...

Remote Sensing, 2020 We present a new method for the detection of coral bleaching using satellite time-series data. While the detection of coral bleaching from satellite imagery is difficult due to the low signal-to-noise ratio of benthic reflectance, we overcame this ...

An enigmatic decoupling between heat stress and coral bleaching on the Great Barrier Reef [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Ocean warming threatens the functioning of coral reef ecosystems by inducing mass coral bleaching and mortality events. The link between temperature and coral bleaching is now well-established based on observations that mass bleaching events usually ...

SWITCHING ON CORAL BLEACHING [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2006 ![Figure][1] Growing up on the Venezuelan coast, Santiago Perez spent much of his childhood camping on the keyes and visiting the coral reefs of Morrocoy Park. But over the years, Perez realised that the reefs were failing.

Ecological Indicators, 2023 Given the high degree of heterogeneity of coral bleaching, there is potential for abiotic approaches to improve the thermal tolerance of coral. However, there is limited knowledge about such factors and causes that regulating acclimation of coral to ...

Comparison of two reef sites on the north coast of Jamaica over a 15-year period [PDF]
, 2016 This paper compares two reef sites near Discovery Bay, Jamaica, Dairy Bull and Dancing Lady, from 2000 to 2015. At Dairy Bull reef, with low macroalgal cover (8% in 2002 falling to 1% in 2015) and significant number of Diadema antillarum urchins (c.
