Much of what we know about speciation comes from detailed studies of well‐known model
systems. Although there have been several important syntheses on speciation, few (if any) …

How barriers to gene flow arise and are maintained are key questions in evolutionary
biology. Speciation research has mainly focused on barriers that occur either before mating …

Coral poleward range expansions have recently been observed in response to warming
oceans. Range expansion can lead to reduced genetic diversity and increased frequency of …

Broadcast‐spawning coral species have wide geographical ranges spanning strong
environmental gradients, but it is unclear how much spatially varying selection these …

Understanding how diversity evolves and is maintained is critical to predicting the future
trajectories of ecosystems under climate change; however, our understanding of these …

Coral cover is decreasing worldwide largely as a result of a rise in seawater temperatures
that triggers coral bleaching and induces coral mortality. How coral reefs will respond to …

Management strategies designed to conserve coral reefs threatened by climate change
need to incorporate knowledge of the spatial distribution of inter‐and intra‐specific genetic …

Coral spawning on the oceanic reef systems of north-western Australia was recently
discovered during autumn and spring, but the degree to which species and particularly …

Understanding the genetic basis of reproductive isolation is a long-standing goal of
speciation research. In recently diverged populations, genealogical discordance may reveal …

Species delimitation of corals is one of the most challenging issues in coral reef ecology and
conservation. Morphology can obscure evolutionary relationships, and molecular datasets …
