Abstract
Josephine Nielsen investigated patterns of acute heat tolerance in corals along the Great Barrier Reef. She found that differential acute heat tolerance was driven by coral host transcriptomics, symbiont community, and thermal disturbance history. Her thesis has direct implications for conservation management of corals under continued climate change.
