#OceanOptimism: Pacific coral reef shows historic increase in #climate resistance

Emergent increase in coral thermal tolerance reduces mass bleaching under #ClimateChange https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-40601-6

"if #coral #ThermalTolerance continues to rise throughout the 21st century, significant reductions in #CoralBleaching impacts are possible... High-frequency #bleaching can be fully mitigated at some #reefs under low-to-middle #emissions scenarios (#ParisAgreement)"

In their #JEB100 Commentary, @sammiefontaine & @KevinDKohl discuss how #microbiomes can influence the #thermaltolerance of #ectotherms, although questions remain regarding the role that microbes play in the thermal ecology & evolution of their hosts
