Journal ArticleDOI

Global warming and recurrent mass bleaching of corals

TL;DR: The distinctive geographic footprints of recurrent bleaching on the Great Barrier Reef in 1998, 2002 and 2016 were determined by the spatial pattern of sea temperatures in each year, suggesting that local protection of reefs affords little or no resistance to extreme heat.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exploring the Symbiodinium rare biosphere provides evidence for symbiont switching in reef-building corals

TL;DR: Using deep sequencing analysis of Symbiodinium rDNA internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) PCR amplicons from two pocilloporid coral species, evidence is shown consistent with de novo acquisition of Symbodinium types from the environment by adult corals following two consecutive bleaching events.
Journal ArticleDOI

Future climate change is predicted to affect the microbiome and condition of habitat-forming kelp.

TL;DR: Investigation of independent and interactive effects of warming and acidification on a large brown seaweed, the kelp Ecklonia radiata, and its associated microbiome in experimental mesocosms indicates that changes in the microbiome were not easily predictable as the severity of future climate scenarios increased.
Journal ArticleDOI

Extensive coral bleaching on the world’s southernmost coral reef at Lord Howe Island, Australia

TL;DR: In 2010, the world's southernmost fringing coral reef and extensive high-latitude coral and reef assemblages occur at Lord Howe Island (LHI) (31 33¢S, 159 05¢E) (Harriott et al. as discussed by the authors ).
Journal ArticleDOI

Monitoring the sea change: preliminary assessment of the conservation value of nearshore reefs, and existing impacts, in a high-growth, coastal region of subtropical eastern Australia.

TL;DR: While, debris loads were relatively low on most reefs, those with highest conservation value also had the highest debris loads suggesting potential conflict between human use and long-term sustainability of reefal communities.
