Novel genetic diversity through somatic mutations: fuel for adaptation of reef corals?
MJH Van Oppen, P Souter, EJ Howells, A Heyward… - Diversity, 2011 - mdpi.com
Adaptation of reef corals to climate change is an issue of much debate, and often viewed as
too slow a process to be of relevance over decadal time scales. This notion is based on the …
