Long-term dynamics and theoretical considerations in coral holobiont adaptation
Corals are predicted to adapt to environmental change in two ways: through the nuclear evolution of the host and/or through acquiring new, more suitable symbiotic partners. Given the rapid rate of climate change, considerable attention has focused on the latter, as new symbiotic partnerships could, …

Temporal variation in the coral reefs of the east coast of the inner gulf of Thailand
… favorable for coral growth. Outcompetition of massive corals by faster growing corals on several reefs also indicates conditions favorable for reef expansion. Growth of newlyformed Porites colonies over primary rock substrate and dead coral skeleton was presumably responsible for its rapid …

Historical climate variability reconstructed from massive coral records in the western Indian Ocean
Coral δ¹⁸O and Sr/Ca records from massive corals in the western Indian Ocean (WIO) are used to establish the heterogeneous distribution of warming rates across the tropical and subtropical regions and to investigate if it corresponds with that from instrumental sea surface temperatures (SSTs). The …

Climate controls on coral growth in the Caribbean
… dominant environmental controls on coral growth. Corals exhibit significant responses to environmental variability occurring on multi-annual to decadal timescales, which are significantly longer than the duration of typical laboratory and field-based experiments. Skeletal growth records, which …

Not Too Hot, Not Too Cold, But Moderately Variable: The Influence of Environmental Variability on Coral Thermal Tolerance
… can have greater bleaching resistance than corals from more stable habitats and corals transplanted into these variable reef sites can increase their thermal tolerance, providing promising evidence for the ability of corals to cope with rapid climate change. This dissertation investigates …

Sedimentation threats to Red Sea corals : an ecological study of reefs in the Hurghada Region, Egypt
… density was measured in transplanted corals in field and laboratory conditions to determine the effect of sedimentation on coral bleaching. In addition, direct feeding experiments were performed using fluorescein-isothiocyanate sediment to assess coral ability to cope with higher …
