Coral reefs in shallow-water environments (< 30 m) are in decline due to local and global
anthropogenic stresses. This has led to renewed interest in the 'deep reef refugia'hypothesis …

Coral reefs are both exceptionally biodiverse and threatened by climate change and other
human activities. Here, we review population genomic processes in coral reef taxa and their …

The genetic enhancement of wild animals and plants for characteristics that benefit human
populations has been practiced for thousands of years, resulting in impressive …

Active coral restoration typically involves two interventions: crossing gametes to facilitate
sexual larval propagation; and fragmenting, growing, and outplanting adult colonies to …

Sexual reproduction by scleractinian reef corals is important for maintaining coral
populations and evolutionary processes. The ongoing global renaissance in coral …

Charles Darwin's experiences in the Galápagos Islands in 1835 helped to guide his
thoughts toward a revolutionary theory: that species were not fixed but diversified from their …

The ability to adapt to marginal habitats, in which survival and reproduction are initially poor,
plays a crucial role in the evolution of ecological niches and species ranges. Adaptation to …

Zooxanthellate corals (ie those harbouring Symbiodinium) are the main builders of the
world's shallow‐water marine coral reefs. They represent intimate diverse symbioses …

Coral reef declines have been recorded for all major tropical ocean basins since the 1980s,
averaging approximately 30-50% reductions in reef cover globally. These losses are a result …

At a glance, most species seem adapted to the environment in which they live. Yet species
relentlessly evolve, and populations within species evolve in different ways. Evolution, as it …
