Journal ArticleDOI
Heterotrophic plasticity and resilience in bleached corals
TL;DR: It is shown that the coral host has a significant role in recovery and resilience, and coral species with high-CHAR capability during bleaching and recovery, irrespective of morphology, will be more resilient to bleaching events over the long term and could become the dominant coral species on reefs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy reserves and metabolism as indicators of coral recovery from bleaching
TL;DR: With intensifying bleaching, coral diversity on future reefs may favor species with faster recovery rates, and this work has shown that M. capitata had a faster recovery rate than P. compressa for all measured variables except Chl a concentration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lipids and stable carbon isotopes in two species of Hawaiian corals, Porites compressa and Montipora verrucosa , following a bleaching event
TL;DR: The two species in this study displayed different lipid class compositions and total lipid depletions following bleaching, suggesting that there is a difference in their metabolism of lipid reserves and/or in their temporal responses to bleaching and recovery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Response of two species of Indo-Pacific corals, Porites cylindrica and Stylophora pistillata, to short-term thermal stress: The host does matter in determining the tolerance of corals to bleaching

TL;DR: It is concluded that P. cylindrica contains a heat resistant C15 Symbiodinium and critical host proteins are present at higher concentrations than observed for S. pistillata, the combination of which provides greater protection from bleaching conditions of high temperature in the light.
Journal ArticleDOI
The importance of zooplankton to the daily metabolic carbon requirements of healthy and bleached corals at two depths
TL;DR: The results suggest that the relative importance of autotrophic and heterotrophic carbon to a coral's energetic needs is mediated by a Coral's bleaching status and environment, and should be considered on a continuum, from 100% photoautotrophy to 100% heterOTrophy.
