Temperature affects the early life history stages of corals more than near future ocean acidification (2013, background): “…particularly sensitive to elevated temperatures (Baird et al. 2009), and the resulting coral bleaching has a range of ecological effects from reductions in growth, reproduction and competitive ability to high mortality of individuals over large spatial scales (see review in McClanahan et al. 2009).”
Systematic and Biogeographical Patterns in the Reproductive Biology of Scleractinian Corals (2009, background): “Deleterious effects of temperature on coral reproduction include reduced fecundity, egg quality, fertilization success, and larval survivorship (see McClanahan et al. 2009 for a review).”
