Persistence and change in community composition of reef corals through present, past, and future climates.

Persistence and change in community composition of reef corals through present, past, and future climates.

The reduction in coral cover on many contemporary tropical reefs suggests a different set of coral community assemblages will dominate future reefs. To evaluate the capacity of reef corals to persist over various time scales, we examined coral community dynamics in contemporary, fossil, and simulate...
