Forecasting global coral bleaching [PDF]
Nature Climate Change, 2019 Predicting coral bleaching is critical to better manage and preserve coral reefs from global warming. An impressive coordination of surveys across oceans now offers new metrics to help to predict coral bleaching events on a global scale.

Metabolomic signatures of coral bleaching history [PDF]
Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2020 AbstractCoral 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. Here, untargeted metabolomics was used to analyze the biochemicals in pairs of adjacent corals

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

Varied effects of algal symbionts on transcription factor NF-κB in a sea anemone and a coral: possible roles in symbiosis and thermotolerance [PDF]
, 2019 Many cnidarians, including the reef-building corals, undergo symbiotic mutualisms with photosynthetic dinoflagellate algae of the family Symbiodiniaceae.

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract Coral bleaching, the breakdown of the symbiosis between the coral host and endosymbiotic microalgae, is the main cause of widespread coral reef degradation. Current visual assessment methods for coral health, including color reference cards, are constrained by subjective human color perception and limited resolution.

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 ...
