Juvenile colonies of massive Porites spp. were exposed to manipulated pH and bicarbonate ([HCO3−]) in situ to test the hypothesis that ocean acidification (OA) does not affect respiration and calcification. Incubations lasted 28 h and exposed corals t . . .

To evaluate the effects of temperature and pCO2 on coral larvae, brooded larvae of Pocillopora damicornis from Nanwan Bay, Taiwan (21°56.179′N, 120°44.85′E), were exposed to ambient (419–470 μatm) and high (604–742 μatm) pCO2 at ~25 and ~29 °C in two . . .

Many tropical corals have declined in abundance in the last few decades, and evaluating the causal basis of these losses is critical to understanding how coral reefs will change in response to ongoing environmental challenges. Motivated by the likelih . . .

The objective of this study was to test whether elevated pCO2 predicted for the year 2100 (85.1 Pa) affects bleaching in the coral Seriatopora caliendrum (Ehrenberg 1834) either independently or interactively with high temperature (30.5 C). Response v . . .

Initially, we asked whether it was possible to identify corals that are resistant or sensitive to such conditions by compil-ing quantitative measures of their phenotypic traits deter-mined through empirical studies, but we found only weak phenotypic d . . .
