Coral recruitment describes the addition of new individuals to populations, and it is one of
the most fundamental demographic processes contributing to population size. As many coral …

Coral reefs are among the most sensitive ecosystems affected by ocean warming and
acidification, and are predicted to collapse over the next few decades. Reefs are predicted to …

Anthropogenic stressors continue to escalate worldwide, driving unprecedented declines in
reef environmental conditions and coral health. One approach to better understand how …

The application of molecular genetics has reinvigorated and improved how species are
defined and investigated scientifically, especially for morphologically cryptic micro …

Ocean-warming and acidification are predicted to reduce coral reef biodiversity, but the
combined effects of these stressors on overall biodiversity are largely unmeasured. Here, we …

Understanding the response of the coral holobiont to environmental change is crucial to
inform conservation efforts. The most pressing problem is “coral bleaching,” usually …

Corals obtain nutrition from the photosynthetic products of their algal endosymbionts and the
ingestion of organic material and zooplankton from the water column. Here, we use stable …

Reef-building coral populations are at serious risk of collapse due to the combined effects of
ocean warming and acidification. Nonetheless, many corals show potential to adapt to the …

The drastic decline in coral coverage has stimulated an interest in reef restoration, and
various iterations of coral nurseries have been used to augment restoration strategies. Here …
