Here we investigated the temperate, colonial, Mediterranean scleractinian coral Cladocora caespitosa. We first studied modern Adriatic corals from Mljet (Croatia) where growth temperatures were known. A clear sinusoidal cyclicity is present in the δ18O of the modern coral skeletons with average cycle minima ∼−3.3‰ and average maxima ∼−1.6‰. Cyclicity approximately matches the number of seasonal growth band pairs in each sample, implying a genetic link between δ18O cyclicity and factors that determine seasonal growth band development, here mainly water temperature. A derived and calibrated species-specific δ18O–temperature relationship was then used to reconstruct growth temperatures from fossil C. caespitosa. This was applied to well-preserved material collected from late Pleistocene deposits (MIS 1, 5 and 7) around the Gulf of Corinth, Greece. Clear seasonal δ18O signals are seen in all the fossil samples. MIS 5e was the warmest period studied with a lower than modern seasonal temperature range. The Early to mid-Holocene probably experienced the lowest temperatures while conditions in MIS 7a/c were probably the wettest with most freshwater input into the Gulf.
