Mangrove lagoons of the Great Barrier Reef support coral populations persisting under extreme environmental conditions (2019, background): “For example, frequent exposure to more variable temperature often (Oliver & Palumbi 2011a, Palumbi et al. 2014, Rivest & Gouhier 2015, Schoepf 9 Fig.”
Adaptive marine conservation planning in the face of climate change: What can we learn from physiological, ecological and genetic studies? (2019, background): “Although some extreme events can be catastrophic, the recurrence of sub-lethal extreme events might also serve as a “selection pump” for more resistant phenotypes (through physiological or behavioural plasticity, epigenetic mechanisms and/ or adaptation) and may thereby enhance fast evolutionary pro”
Remarkably high and consistent tolerance of a Red Sea coral to acute and chronic thermal stress exposures (2021, background): “This fits well with the notion that differences in thermal tolerance are at least partially adaptive (Palumbi et al. 2014), and seasonality would be expected to be a variable, but not major contributor.”
Mechanisms of Thermal Tolerance in Reef-Building Corals across a Fine-Grained Environmental Mosaic: Lessons from Ofu, American Samoa (2018, background): “In order to do this, a portable stress tank system was developed that provides accurate (within 0.2◦C) controllable temperature profiles that can mimic field recordings of reef temperatures (Palumbi et al., 2014).”
Patterns, Causes, and Consequences of Anthropocene Defaunation (2016, background): “The observed capacity of some animal species to adapt to climate stress (Palumbi et al. 2014) provides hope that, if properly implemented, these new climate policies can help avert the most disastrous amplifying effects of climate change on global defaunation.”
Coral restoration research and technical developments: what we have learned so far (2019, background): “Both genetic fitness and acclimatization may play important roles in boosting heat tolerance (Barshis et al. 2013; Palumbi et al. 2014).”
