	abstract = {Complex histories of chronic and acute sea surface temperature (SST) stresses are expected to trigger taxon- and location-specific responses that will ultimately lead to novel coral communities. The 2016 El Ni{\~n}o-Southern Oscillation provided an opportunity to examine largescale and recent environmental histories on emerging patterns in 226 coral communities distributed across 12 countries from East Africa to Fiji. Six main coral communities were identified that largely varied across a gradient of Acropora to massive Porites dominance. Bleaching intensity was taxon-specific and was associated with complex interactions among the 20 environmental variables that we examined. Coral community structure was better aligned with the historical temperature patterns between 1985 and 2015 than the 2016 extreme temperature event. Additionally, bleaching responses observed during 2016 differed from historical reports during past warm years. Consequently, coral communities present in 2016 are likely to have been reorganized by both long-term community change and acclimation mechanisms. For example, less disturbed sites with cooler baseline temperatures, higher mean historical SST background variability, and infrequent extreme warm temperature stresses were associated with Acropora-dominated communities, while more disturbed sites with lower historical SST background variability and frequent acute warm stress were dominated by stress-resistant massive Porites corals. Overall, the combination of taxon-specific responses, community-level reorganization over time, geographic variation, and multiple environmental stressors suggest complex responses and a diversity of future coral communities that can help contextualize management priorities and activities.},

	abstract = {The marine species sensitivity to climate change will depend on the ways by which these species can adapt to thermal increase and heterogeneity. Here, we present evidence that the intertidal shrimp Palaemon elegans acclimates its thermal tolerance, in response to environmental water temperature, through a significant shift of its upper thermal limit with no concomittant acclimation of the heat shock response (hsp70 stress gene expression threshold). This species is less thermotolerant than its congener Palaemonetes varians, and would therefore potentially be more sensitive to an increase in environmental temperature, such as imposed by global warming. In P. elegans life cycle, physiological adjustments like the shift of the thermal limit and the acquisition of a significant HSR, occurred during the metamorphosis from larvae to post-larvae. This suggests that this step is a genetically-programmed milestone in the process of thermal tolerance acquisition.},
