Shifting paradigms in restoration of the world's coral reefs
Many ecosystems around the world are rapidly deteriorating due to both local and global
pressures, and perhaps none so precipitously as coral reefs. Management of coral reefs …

A framework for understanding gene expression plasticity and its influence on stress tolerance
Phenotypic plasticity can serve as a stepping stone towards adaptation. Recently, studies
have shown that gene expression contributes to emergent stress responses such as thermal …

Gene expression plasticity as a mechanism of coral adaptation to a variable environment
Local adaptation is ubiquitous, but the molecular mechanisms that give rise to this
ecological phenomenon remain largely unknown. A year-long reciprocal transplant of …

Gene expression under chronic heat stress in populations of the mustard hill coral (Porites astreoides) from different thermal environments
Recent evidence suggests that corals can acclimatize or adapt to local stress factors through
differential regulation of their gene expression. Profiling gene expression in corals from …
