Contrasting patterns of coral bleaching susceptibility in 2010 suggest an adaptive response to thermal stress.

Contrasting patterns of coral bleaching susceptibility in 2010 suggest an adaptive response to thermal stress.

BACKGROUND: Coral bleaching events vary in severity, however, to date, the hierarchy of susceptibility to bleaching among coral taxa has been consistent over a broad geographic range and among bleaching episodes. Here we examine the extent of spatial and temporal variation in thermal tolerance among...
