Viewpoint – Ocean Plastic Pollution: a convenient but distracting truth? (2019, neutral): “0 license temperatures [13], and predictions have indicated that coral reefs will be under severe threat unless temperature rises are urgently limited [13].”
Coral restoration – A systematic review of current methods, successes, failures and future directions (2020, background): “This was emphasised during the recent 2016–17 global marine heat wave, which led to the most extensive coral bleaching event in history, including remote and pristine reefs [9,10].”
Remarkably high and consistent tolerance of a Red Sea coral to acute and chronic thermal stress exposures (2021, background): “In recent years, warming seawater temperatures as a result of anthropogenic CO2 emissions have emerged as the principal threat to reef-building corals, causing coral bleaching and mortality at unrivaled scales (Hughes et al. 2017a, 2018).”
Coral reef ecology in the Anthropocene (2019, background): “Globally, human‐induced warming of the ocean is resulting in in - creasingly frequent mass coral bleaching events (Hughes, Anderson et al., 2018a) that are transforming coral assemblages (Hughes, Kerry et al., 2018b) and in some cases causing regime shifts to fleshy macroalgae (Graham, Jennings,…”
Hybridization as a conservation management tool (2019, background): “The negative impacts of warming are evident from many examples across the marine and terrestrial environments (Chefaoui, Duarte, & Serrão, 2018; Hughes et al., 2018; Klein, Cahanovitc, Sprintsin, Herr, & Schiller, 2019; Pecl et al., 2017), and perhaps among the most significantly affected…”
