Hurricanes enhance coral connectivity but also superspread coral diseases

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology
AbstractClimate change poses an existential threat to coral reefs. A warmer and more acidic ocean weakens coral ecosystems and increases the intensity of hurricanes. The wind–wave–current interactions during a hurricane deeply change the ocean circulation patterns and hence potentially affect the dispersal of coral larvae and coral disease agents. Here,
