Abstract
Magena Marzonie investigated the processes underpinning coral heat tolerance adaptation across variable coral species and populations in the isolated Coral Sea. She found variability in coral heat tolerance was associated with thermal history of each population, with evidence of adaptation within the coral host and their photosymbiotic algae (Symbiodiniaceae).
