Summary for Policymakers (2022, unknown): “, 2001), and on Costa Rican reefs (Jimenez et al., 2001)," and they say that "Dunne and Brown (2001) found similar results to [theirs] in the Andaman Sea, in that bleaching severity was far reduced in 1998 compared to 1995 despite sea-temperature and light conditions being more conducive to widespre”
Effects of changing seawater temperature on photosynthesis and calcification in the scleractinian coral Galaxea fascicularis , measured with O 2 , Ca 2+ and pH microsensors (2005, background): “From mid-1997 to late 1998, catastrophic bleaching with massive coral mortality has been reported from many areas of the world (e.g. Wilkinson and Hodgson, 1999; Lough, 2000; Vargas-Angel et al., 2001; Jimenez et al., 2001; Carriquiry et al., 2001; Bruno et al., 2001; Podesta and Glynn, 2001).”
Major bleaching events can lead to increased thermal tolerance in corals (2008, background): “…within reefs there is significant variability in bleaching susceptibility for many species (Edmunds 1994; Marshall and Baird 2000), suggesting some potential for a shift in thermal tolerance based on selective mortality (Glynn et al. 2001; Jimenez et al. 2001) and local population growth alone.”
