...J. E. Mallon; A. H. Altieri; T. Cyronak; C. V. Melendez-Declet; V. J. Paul; M. D. Johnson ABSTRACT Coastal deoxygenation poses a critical threat to tropical coral reefs. Dissolved oxygen (DO) depletion can cause hypoxia-induced stress and mortality in scleractinian corals. Coral hypoxic responses...
