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 ...

Global gradients of coral exposure to environmental stresses and implications for local management [PDF]
, 2011 Background: The decline of coral reefs globally underscores the need for a spatial assessment of their exposure to multiple environmental stressors to estimate vulnerability and evaluate potential counter-measures.

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 ...

Metabolomic signatures of coral bleaching history [PDF]
Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2020 Abstract Coral bleaching, a process where corals expel their photosynthetic symbionts, has a profound impact on the health and function of coral reefs. As global ocean temperatures continue to rise, bleaching poses the greatest threat to coral reef ecosystems.

Mass coral bleaching in the northern Persian Gulf, 2012
Scientia Marina, 2014 Coral bleaching events due to elevated temperatures are increasing in both frequency and magnitude worldwide. Mass bleaching was recorded at five sites in the northern Persian Gulf during August and September 2012. Based on available seawater temperature

Skeletal P/Ca tracks upwelling in Gulf of Panama coral: Evidence for a new seawater phosphate proxy [PDF]
, 2008 The supply of limiting nutrients to the low latitude ocean is controlled by physical processes linked to climate variations, but methods for reconstructing past nutrient concentrations in the surface ocean are few and indirect.
