Mitigating the ecological collapse of coral reef ecosystems: effective strategies to preserve coral reef ecosystems
Coral reef ecosystems are biodiversity hotspots that provide a habitat for about a third of all
marine species (Fisher et al, 2015)—which is why colloquially they are referred to as the …

No apparent trade-offs associated with heat tolerance in a reef-building coral
As marine species adapt to climate change, their heat tolerance will likely be under strong
selection. Yet trade-offs between heat tolerance and other life history traits could …

Live slow, die old: larval propagation of slow-growing, stress-tolerant corals for reef restoration
Efforts to restore coral reefs usually involve transplanting asexually propagated fast-growing
corals. However, this approach can lead to outplanted populations with low genotypic …
