Conservation genetics and the resilience of reef‐building corals
MJH Van Oppen, RD Gates - Molecular Ecology, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
Coral reefs have suffered long‐term decline due to a range of anthropogenic disturbances
and are now also under threat from climate change. For appropriate management of these …

The extended phenotypes of marine symbioses: ecological and evolutionary consequences of intraspecific genetic diversity in coral–algal associations
JE Parkinson, IB Baums - Frontiers in microbiology, 2014 - frontiersin.org
Reef-building corals owe much of their success to a symbiosis with dinoflagellate
