The marine environment of the southeastern Arabian Gulf is singularly harsh; the coral communities in this high-latitude region (i.e. between 24°09′N and 25°40′N) are exposed to natural conditions that exceed threshold limits of corals elsewhere in the world, with temperature ranges between...
Coral nubbins were subsequently exposed to air (air exposure; Stage II) by removing seawater from the flasks. The mean exposure time for all experiments (32.7 ± 11.7 min) falls within the range of tidal exposure times of 15–105 min experienced in a natural reef environment...
thermal stress, and the presence of twoVibriopathogens). For this purpose, we first described theO. patagonicaholobiont in its natural environment and then compared it with that of corals maintained
S1). A large plastic response to cold, but not heat challenge is seemingly at odds with both the marginal environment hypothesis and the CVH, as both would predict highly plastic responses to both temperature treatments. However, it is possible that short term cold challenges are more stressful...

The sustainability of these adaptations to acidification and warming are largely unexplored in Caribbean corals, but is highly relevant given findings from this experiment that even if positive net calcification is maintained in environmental challenge experiments corals could be depleting energy reserves [...

Results of MDH bioassays provide some insights, although preliminary, into the protein adaptations that underpins performance differences between the thermal physiologies ofPlatygyra verweyicollected from different temperature regimes. Results clearly indicated that MDH ofP. verweyifrom NPP-OL was more therm...
