Article Synopsis
- Extreme climatic events (ECEs) like marine heatwaves pose serious threats to biodiversity, highlighting the need for understanding ecological responses to these recurring events.
- Researchers used a "multiple events" approach to study the effects of recurrent ECEs on the temperate coral Paramuricea clavata, assessing factors like environmental, genetic, and phenotypic influences over three years.
- Findings indicated that environmental impacts were the primary drivers of coral responses, with limited evidence of genetic adaptability, suggesting that P. clavata populations face significant challenges due to ongoing heat stress and may struggle to recover.
