The extent of larval dispersal on coral reefs has important implications for the persistence of
coral reef metapopulations, their resilience and recovery from an increasing array of threats …

Worldwide degradation of coral reef communities has prompted a surge in restoration
efforts. They proceed largely without considering genetic factors because traditionally, coral …

Outbreaks of the coral-killing seastar Acanthaster planci are intense disturbances that can
decimate coral reefs. These events consist of the emergence of large swarms of the …

Coral reefs are increasingly threatened by various types of disturbances, and their recovery
is challenged by accelerating, human-induced environmental changes. Recurrent …

The degree to which coral reef ecosystems will be impacted by global climate change
depends on regional and local differences in corals' susceptibility and resilience to …

Rafting of marine and terrestrial organisms has important ecological, biogeographical and
evolutionary implications. Herein the general principles of rafting are described and how …

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 …

Symbiodinium is a diverse genus of unicellular dinoflagellate symbionts associating with
various marine protists and invertebrates. Although the broadscale diversity and …

Aim Using high‐resolution genetic markers on samples gathered from across their wide
distributional range, we endeavoured to delimit species diversity in reef‐building Pocillopora …

To date, most assessments of coral connectivity have emphasized long-distance horizontal
dispersal of propagules from one shallow reef to another. The extent of vertical connectivity …
