The Coral Trait Database, a curated database of trait information for coral species from the global oceans
Trait-based approaches advance ecological and evolutionary research because traits
provide a strong link to an organism's function and fitness. Trait-based research might lead …

Factors limiting the range extension of corals into high-latitude reef regions
Reef-building corals show a marked decrease in total species richness from the tropics to
high latitude regions. Several hypotheses have been proposed to account for this pattern in …

With eyes wide open: a revision of species within and closely related to the Pocillopora damicornis species complex (Scleractinia; Pocilloporidae) using morphology …
Molecular studies have been instrumental for refining species boundaries in the coral genus
Pocillopora and revealing hidden species diversity within the extensively studied global …

An enhanced target-enrichment bait set for Hexacorallia provides phylogenomic resolution of the staghorn corals (Acroporidae) and close relatives
Targeted enrichment of genomic DNA can profoundly increase the phylogenetic resolution
of clades and inform taxonomy. Here, we redesign a custom bait set previously developed …

Trait‐mediated environmental filtering drives assembly at biogeographic transition zones
Abiotic filtering is a major driver of gradients in the structure and functioning of ecosystems
from the tropics to the poles. It is thus likely that environmental filtering is an important …

A genomic glance through the fog of plasticity and diversification in Pocillopora
Scleractinian corals of the genus Pocillopora (Lamarck, 1816) are notoriously difficult to
identify morphologically with considerable debate on the degree to which phenotypic …

Refugia under threat: Mass bleaching of coral assemblages in high‐latitude eastern Australia
Environmental anomalies that trigger adverse physiological responses and mortality are
occurring with increasing frequency due to climate change. At species' range peripheries …

Successive marine heatwaves cause disproportionate coral bleaching during a fast phase transition from El Niño to La Niña
The frequency and intensity of marine heatwaves that result in coral bleaching events have
increased over recent decades and led to catastrophic losses of reef-building corals in many …

Regional and global climate risks for reef corals: Incorporating species‐specific vulnerability and exposure to climate hazards
Climate change is driving rapid and widespread erosion of the environmental conditions that
formerly supported species persistence. Existing projections of climate change typically …
