|a Reef corals are highly sensitive to heat, yet populations resistant to climate change have
recently been identified. To determine the mechanisms of temperature tolerance, we
reciprocally transplanted corals between reef sites experiencing distinct temperature
regimes and tested subsequent physiological and gene expression profiles. Local
acclimatization and fixed effects, such as adaptation, contributed about equally to
heat tolerance and are reflected in patterns of gene expression. In less than 2 years,
acclimatization achieves the same heat tolerance that we would expect from strong natural
selection over many generations for these long-lived organisms. Our results show both
short-term acclimatory and longer-term adaptive acquisition of climate resistance. Adding
these adaptive abilities to ecosystem models is likely to slow predictions of demise for
coral reef ecosystems |
