Abstract: Scleractinian corals have global ecological, structural, social, and economic importance that is disproportionately large relative to their areal extent. These reef building corals form the architectural framework for shallow water tropical reef systems, supporting the… read more here.

Abstract: Algal symbiont shuffling in favor of more thermo-tolerant species has been shown to enhance coral resistance to heat-stress. Yet, the mechanistic underpinnings and long-term implications of these changes are poorly understood. This work studied the… read more here.
