This study uses RGB color indices to estimate symbiont cell density and chlorophyll content in corals under bleaching conditions, finding the Red index provides strong correlations across species.

This study tests menthol treatments on six stony coral species to establish effective bleaching protocols, finding varying tolerance levels and optimal treatment durations.

This study assesses how thermal preconditioning affects thermal tolerance and baseline physiology across six coral species, finding species-specific responses and trade-offs in physiological baselines.
