Blue light increases thermal bleaching tolerance of coral via remodeling host-Symbiodiniaceae symbiosis

open access: yesEcological 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 ...

Triggers, cascades, and endpoints: connecting the dots of coral bleaching mechanisms

open access: yesBiological Reviews of The Cambridge Philosophical Society
The intracellular coral–dinoflagellate symbiosis is the engine that underpins the success of coral reefs, one of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet. However, the breakdown of the symbiosis and the loss of the microalgal symbiont (i.e.

Re(de)fining degree-heating week: coral bleaching variability necessitates regional and temporal optimization of global forecast model stress metrics

open access: yesCoral reefs
Tropical coral reefs are a critical ecosystem in global peril as a result of anthropogenic climate change, and effective conservation efforts require reliable methods for identifying and predicting coral bleaching events.

The 2014–2017 global-scale coral bleaching event: insights and impacts

open access: yesCoral reefs, 2019
2014–2017 was an unprecedented period of successive record-breaking hot years, which coincided with the most severe, widespread, and longest-lasting global-scale coral bleaching event ever recorded. The 2014–2017 global-scale coral bleaching event (GCBE)

Mass coral bleaching in the northern Persian Gulf, 2012

open access: yesScientia 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

Unravelling the different causes of nitrate and ammonium effects on coral bleaching

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2020
Mass coral bleaching represents one of the greatest threats to coral reefs and has mainly been attributed to seawater warming. However, reduced water quality can also interact with warming to increase coral bleaching, but this interaction depends on ...

Mesoscale Circulation and Coral Community Disturbance at Isolated Reefs

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology Communications, EarlyView.
The Loop Current is a seasonally and interannually dynamic mesoscale oceanographic feature in the Gulf of Mexico that strongly influences connectivity and environmental conditions across the region. We investigated the influence of Loop Current variability on coral reef disturbances at isolated reefs in the northwest Gulf, including coral disease ...

Coral Bleaching Independent of Photosynthetic Activity [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent 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 ...
