DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8514
Abstract: Abstract Sperm cells exhibit extraordinary phenotypic variation, both among taxa and within individual species, yet our understanding of the adaptive value of sperm trait variation across multiple contexts is incomplete. For species without the opportunity… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00338-018-1715-9
Abstract: Coral reefs are predicted to be vulnerable to the Allee effect due to the density dependence of broadcast spawning fertilisation success. Verifying such effects in corals, however, is hindered by their annual or biannual nocturnal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00338-020-01922-w
Abstract: With increasing exposure to local and global stressors associated with a rapidly changing climate, corals adapted to thrive within stressful environments are of particular interest to researchers and managers. A bleaching resilient Porites coral with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.micron.2018.08.005
Abstract: Spiophanes uschakowi is a common polychaete living in tubes in sandy sediments in shallow waters of the Sea of Japan. Females and males release their gametes into the water where fertilization and holopelagic, planktotrophic larval… read more here.
