Systematic review of the uncertainty of coral reef futures under climate change<\/strong><\/a>
\nShannon G. Klein et al., 2024 in Nature Communications ”\u00a0We found substantial discrepancies in the projected impacts, indicating that the subset of articles serving as a basis for climate change syntheses may project more severe consequences than other studies and methodologies.”<\/p>\n

Global change differentially modulates Caribbean coral physiology<\/strong><\/a>
\nCB Bove et al., 2022 in Plos One “Here, we assess the physiological responses of three Caribbean coral (animal host + algal symbiont) species from an inshore and offshore reef environment after exposure to simulated ocean warming (28, 31\u00b0C), acidification (300\u20133290 \u03bcatm), and the combination of stressors for 93 days… Our results demonstrate that while ocean warming is a severe acute stressor that will have dire consequences for coral reefs globally, chronic exposure to acidification may also impact coral physiology to a greater extent in some species than previously assumed. Further, our study identifies S. siderea and P. astreoides as potential \u2018winners\u2019 on future Caribbean coral reefs due to their resilience under projected global change stressors, while P. strigosa will likely be a \u2018loser\u2019 due to their sensitivity to thermal stress events. Together, these species-specific responses to global change we observe will likely manifest in altered Caribbean reef assemblages in the future.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
