Key to coral warming stress
But one of the advantages of the new technique, as much of the media pointed out, is the ability to discriminate between afflicted males and, indeed, carrier and normal females. PGH can identify the 50 per cent of male embryos that will be unaffected, said Allison Lashwood, a consultant nurse at Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital in London. " We can tell the difference between the affected and the u...
متن کاملWarming Trends and Bleaching Stress of the World’s Coral Reefs 1985–2012
Coral reefs across the world's oceans are in the midst of the longest bleaching event on record (from 2014 to at least 2016). As many of the world's reefs are remote, there is limited information on how past thermal conditions have influenced reef composition and current stress responses. Using satellite temperature data for 1985-2012, the analysis we present is the first to quantify, for globa...
متن کاملHeterotrophic Compensation: A Possible Mechanism for Resilience of Coral Reefs to Global Warming or a Sign of Prolonged Stress?
Thermally induced bleaching has caused a global decline in corals and the frequency of such bleaching events will increase. Thermal bleaching severely disrupts the trophic behaviour of the coral holobiont, reducing the photosynthetically derived energy available to the coral host. In the short term this reduction in energy transfer from endosymbiotic algae results in an energy deficit for the c...
متن کاملOcean warming and acidification synergistically increase coral mortality
Organisms that accumulate calcium carbonate structures are particularly vulnerable to ocean warming (OW) and ocean acidification (OA), potentially reducing the socioeconomic benefits of ecosystems reliant on these taxa. Since rising atmospheric CO2 is responsible for global warming and increasing ocean acidity, to correctly predict how OW and OA will affect marine organisms, their possible inte...
متن کاملOcean warming slows coral growth in the central Red Sea.
Sea surface temperature (SST) across much of the tropics has increased by 0.4 degrees to 1 degrees C since the mid-1970s. A parallel increase in the frequency and extent of coral bleaching and mortality has fueled concern that climate change poses a major threat to the survival of coral reef ecosystems worldwide. Here we show that steadily rising SSTs, not ocean acidification, are already drivi...
