Hi Coral List,



I want to draw your attention to our recent paper, ‘Increasing coral reef
resilience through successive marine heatwaves” available here:
https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2021GL094128



Our observation that the effects of thermal stress on PIPA’s coral
populations have lessened over the course of three major El Niño events
raises important questions about the capacity of corals to adapt to ocean
warming. These findings complement a suite of recent papers highlighting
the ability of stress tolerant corals to successfully pass on beneficial
traits to their next generation.



All the best,
Mike
