Climate warming, marine protected areas and the ocean-scale integrity of coral reef ecosystems [PDF]
, 2008 Coral reefs have emerged as one of the ecosystems most vulnerable to climate variation and change. While the contribution of a warming climate to the loss of live coral cover has been well documented across large spatial and temporal scales, the ...

Unprecedented mass bleaching and loss of coral across 12° of latitude in Western Australia in 2010-11. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BACKGROUND: Globally, coral bleaching has been responsible for a significant decline in both coral cover and diversity over the past two decades. During the summer of 2010-11, anomalous large-scale ocean warming induced unprecedented levels of coral ...

Nitric oxide production rather than oxidative stress and cell death is associated with the onset of coral bleaching in Pocillopora acuta. [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Elevated seawater temperatures associated with climate change lead to coral bleaching. While the ultimate causes of bleaching are well understood, the proximate physiological mechanisms underlying the bleaching response are not as well defined.

Diversity and distribution of symbiodinium associated with seven common coral species in the Chagos Archipelago, Central Indian Ocean [PDF]
, 2012 The Chagos Archipelago designated as a no-take marine protected area in 2010, lying about 500 km south of the Maldives in the Indian Ocean, has a high conservation priority, particularly because of its fast recovery from the ocean-wide massive coral ...

Spatially restricted coral bleaching as an ecological manifestation of within-colony heterogeneity. [PDF]
Commun BiolCoral bleaching is a widespread stress response of reef-building corals to elevated sea temperatures, resulting in the loss of symbiotic algae and often leading to coral death and reef degradation. Although coral bleaching occurs globally, not all reefs,

Human impact on atolls leads to coral loss and community homogenisation : a modeling study [PDF]
, 2012 We explore impacts on pristine atolls subjected to anthropogenic near-field (human habitation) and far-field (climate and environmental change) pressure.

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.

Symbiont starvation affects the stability of the coral–Symbiodiniaceae symbiosis
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Coral bleaching, the breakdown of the coral-Symbiodiniaceae association has been identified as a major cause of coral reef decline worldwide. When symbiont functions are compromised, corals receive fewer photosynthetic products from their symbionts and ...

Coral bleaching responses in Sodwana Bay, South Africa [PDF]
, 2013 This study assessed the bleaching response (BR) of coral colonies within the central reef complex in Sodwana Bay, South Africa. Bleach surveys were conducted at 16 sites on 8 reefs over the period of 2007 to 2013. A total of 12 858 coral colonies from 30
