TL;DR: HOC sorption to and desorption from MPs and the underlying principles for their interactions are explored and intrinsic and extrinsic parameters influencing these processes are discussed and focus on the importance of the exposure route for diffusive mass transfer.

TL;DR: Now living well below their thermal threshold in the Gulf of Aqaba, these corals have been evolutionarily selected for heat tolerance during their migration through the warm Southern Red Sea after the last ice age, which may allow them to withstand future warming for a longer period of time, provided that successful environmental conservation measures are enacted across national boundaries in the region.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that density-dependent nutrient competition between individual symbiont cells, manifested as reduced nitrogen assimilation and cell biomass, probably creates the negative feedback mechanism for symbionT population growth that ultimately defines the steady-state density.

TL;DR: The reduced input from both modes of nutrition at elevated temperature was accompanied by a shift in the partitioning of C and N, benefiting epidermis and symbionts.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the disconnect that occurred between symbiont bicarbonate and nitrate assimilation in the absence of photosynthetic breakdown in the warm-acclimated corals represents either a shift in nitrogen utilisation, or supply limitation by the host.
