Hotspots - sites with high temperatures - are expected to favor heat-tolerant organisms. Lachs et al. tested this assumption with Palau corals. Surprisingly, heat-tolerant individuals originated in both hotspots and cool refugia, with energy reserves giving a tolerance boost. Protecting ecological networks across environmental gradients can maintain high thermal trait diversity.
