Confronting the coral reef crisis

Article Abstract:

Coral reefs are three-dimensional shallow-water structures dominated by scleractinian corals. In many locations around the world, coral reefs are in serious decline due to man-made stresses like over-harvesting, pollution, disease and climate change and their conservation has become a matter of concern.

Coral's adaptive response to climate change

Article Abstract:

Coral reefs response to climate change depends on the ability of reef-building coral symbioses to adapt to warmer temperatures. This adaptive shift in symbiont communities indicates resistance to future thermal stress, resulting in longer extinction times for surviving corals.
