A proteome profiling approach was taken to characterize the cellular biology of massive corals of the Upper Florida Keys exposed to experimentally elevated temperatures. Specifically, Orbicella faveolata specimens from two inshore (Cheeca Rocks & The Rock...

An inshore-to-offshore gradient in reef coral resilience to high temperatures exists in the Upper Florida Keys, with massive corals of the highly turbid nearshore reefs demonstrating higher capacity to resist summer bleaching than offshore conspecifics. A...

Given the widespread decline of coral reefs across the globe on account of climate change-induced rises in seawater temperature, a series of temperature-focused models have been generated to predict when and where bleaching events may occur (e.g., NOAA’s ...
