Mechanisms of thermal tolerance in reef-building corals across a fine-grained environmental mosaic: lessons from Ofu, American Samoa
Environmental heterogeneity gives rise to phenotypic variation through a combination of
phenotypic plasticity and fixed genetic effects. For reef-building corals, understanding the …

Considerations for maximizing the adaptive potential of restored coral populations in the western Atlantic
Active coral restoration typically involves two interventions: crossing gametes to facilitate
sexual larval propagation; and fragmenting, growing, and outplanting adult colonies to …

Bleaching causes loss of disease resistance within the threatened coral species Acropora cervicornis
Determining the adaptive potential of foundation species, such as reef-building corals, is
urgent as the oceans warm and coral populations decline. Theory predicts that corals may …

Role of host genetics and heat‐tolerant algal symbionts in sustaining populations of the endangered coral Orbicella faveolata in the Florida Keys with ocean warming
Identifying which factors lead to coral bleaching resistance is a priority given the global
decline of coral reefs with ocean warming. During the second year of back‐to‐back …
