High‐resolution coral oxygen and carbon isotope records reveal temperature and autotrophy dynamics in a Mediterranean climate change hotspot The Mediterranean Sea is warming at a rate exceeding the global average. Long-term, high-resolution data are essential for contextualizing changes within broader temporal scales, and coral skeletons ....

New OA paper out! We present the most accurate coral d18O-temperature equation, reconstruct coral trophic dynamics in the Med for the first time, and show #Cladocora skeletons are key archives for reconstructing anthropogenic warming and impacts.

Nutrient regimes shape mortality patterns in warming-impacted Cladocora caespitosa populations - Coral Reefs Over recent decades, the Mediterranean zooxanthellate coral Cladocora caespitosa has experienced recurrent mortality events triggered by marine heatwaves. Its generalised decline has led to its classi...
