Coral reefs are increasingly threaten by marine heatwaves, but what pushes corals past their breaking point?
New in @ScienceAdvances @science.org: we found that corals can lose the microscopic system that helps move oxygen around their tissues during heat stress 🪸

Acute temperature effects on cilia beating increase coral deoxygenation
Ciliary flows buffer coral O2 supply under heat stress until a tipping point, above which hypoxia and tissue failure are induced.
