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 …

The evolution of mutualistic dependence
While the importance of mutualisms across the tree of life is recognized, it is not understood
why some organisms evolve high levels of dependence on mutualistic partnerships, while …

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 …

[HTML][HTML] 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 …

Symbiotic dinoflagellate functional diversity mediates coral survival under ecological crisis
Coral reefs have entered an era of 'ecological crisis' as climate change drives catastrophic
reef loss worldwide. Coral growth and stress susceptibility are regulated by their …

Census of heat tolerance among Florida's threatened staghorn corals finds resilient individuals throughout existing nursery populations
The rapid loss of reef-building corals owing to ocean warming is driving the development of
interventions such as coral propagation and restoration, selective breeding and assisted …

[HTML][HTML] Host–symbiont combinations dictate the photo-physiological response of reef-building corals to thermal stress
High sea surface temperatures often lead to coral bleaching wherein reef-building corals
lose significant numbers of their endosymbiotic dinoflagellates (Symbiodiniaceae). These …

[HTML][HTML] Genotype and local environment dynamically influence growth, disturbance response and survivorship in the threatened coral, Acropora cervicornis
The relationship between the coral genotype and the environment is an important area of
research in degraded coral reef ecosystems. We used a reciprocal outplanting experiment …

Thermotolerant coral symbionts modulate heat stress‐responsive genes in their hosts
Some corals may become more resistant to bleaching by shuffling their Symbiodiniaceae
