[Coral-List] New paper: Drivers of coral bleaching in a Marine Protected Area of the Southern Gulf of Mexico during the 2015 event

[Aarón Israel Muñiz Castillo]

Hello everyone, I hope you are doing very well,
I share with you this paper about coral bleaching in the Alacranes Reef
(Southern Gulf of Mexico) during 2015.
Some points: 1) 2015 was an event of high exposure to heat stress in the
area, 2) despite high exposure, coral bleaching was relatively low, and 3)
our results show that at the reef scale, structural variables such as depth
are of great relevance during a heat stress event (spoiler! Deeper reefs
were more affected).
