A tenuis relationship: traditional taxonomy obscures systematics and biogeography of the 'Acropora tenuis' (Scleractinia: Acroporidae) species complex
Molecular phylogenetics has fundamentally altered our understanding of the taxonomy,
systematics and biogeography of corals. Recently developed phylogenomic techniques …

Contrasting heat stress response patterns of coral holobionts across the Red Sea suggest distinct mechanisms of thermal tolerance
Corals from the northern Red Sea, in particular the Gulf of Aqaba (GoA), have exceptionally
high bleaching thresholds approaching> 5℃ above their maximum monthly mean (MMM) …

Differential specificity between closely related corals and abundant Endozoicomonas endosymbionts across global scales
Reef-building corals are well regarded not only for their obligate association with
endosymbiotic algae, but also with prokaryotic symbionts, the specificity of which remains …

Light, temperature, photosynthesis, heterotrophy, and the lower depth limits of mesophotic coral ecosystems
The attenuation of light with increasing depth, along with reduced exposure to wave stress,
plays an important role in vertically structuring coral reef communities. Benthic …

Continental-scale patterns of hyper-cryptic diversity within the freshwater model taxon Gammarus fossarum (Crustacea, Amphipoda)
Traditional morphological diagnoses of taxonomic status remain widely used while an
increasing number of studies show that one morphospecies might hide cryptic diversity, ie …

The new systematics of Scleractinia: integrating molecular and morphological evidence
The taxonomy of scleractinian corals has traditionally been established based on
morphology at the “macro” scale since the time of Carl Linnaeus. Taxa described using …

Comparative analysis of the genomes of Stylophora pistillata and Acropora digitifera provides evidence for extensive differences between species of corals
Stony corals form the foundation of coral reef ecosystems. Their phylogeny is characterized
by a deep evolutionary divergence that separates corals into a robust and complex clade …
