Temperature regimes during the long-term acclimation phase and subsequent heat stress test. a Weekly average temperatures of corals maintained at three different temperature regimes and exposed to either constant daily temperature (solid coloured lines) or 4 °C daily temperature variability (dashed coloured lines). For the heat stress test, all treatments were split into ambient control and heated tanks. Coloured arrows indicate when paling/bleaching was observed for the respective treatments. Black arrows represent bleaching in all treatments. b Naturally stress-resistant coral communities from the macrotidal Kimberley region exposed during spring low tide.
