The Ecological Mechanism of Coral–Algal Phase Shifts: A Case Study of Wenchang in Hainan Province

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study selected the coral reef areas in the coastal waters of Wenchang, Hainan, China, which were significantly affected by human activities. Through four consecutive years of field investigations, the key driving factors and potential mechanisms of ecological phase shifts between corals and macroalgae were identified, thus providing a scientific ...

Genomic Resources for Imperiled Caribbean Reef‐Forming Corals (Hexacorallia: Scleractinia): Complete Mitochondrial Genomes of Dichocoenia stokesii, Diploria labyrinthiformis, Oculina patagonica, and Stephanocoenia intersepta

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Mitochondrial genomes of imperiled Caribbean corals are sequenced. These genomic resources will support conservation initiatives. ABSTRACT Coral reefs provide a wide variety of services essential to both marine ecosystems and human societies yet reef‐forming corals are currently facing a multitude of global and local environmental stressors.

Rare coral under the genomic microscope: timing and relationships among Hawaiian Montipora [PDF]

, 2019
Background Evolutionary patterns of scleractinian (stony) corals are difficult to infer given the existence of few diagnostic characters and pervasive phenotypic plasticity.

Mitigating the impact of the Acropora-eating flatworm, Prosthiostomum acroporae on captive Acropora coral colonies

, 2020
Jonathan Barton studied the Acropora-eating flatworm (AEFW). He found this coral parasite on corals of the Great Barrier Reef, and investigated management tools for this pest in coral aquaculture. His methods are used in industry and at the National Sea Simulator for treatment and prevention of AEFW infestations.

Population assessment of Acropora palmata (Scleractinia: Acroporidae): relationship between habitat and reef associated species

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2014
Three decades ago, Acropora palmata was one of the main reef-building coral species throughout the Caribbean, forming an essential component of the structural complexity of shallow coral reef habitats.

Intra‐colony spatial variance of oxyregulation and hypoxic thresholds for key Acropora coral species

Ecology and Evolution
Oxygen (O2) availability is essential for healthy coral reef functioning, yet how continued loss of dissolved O2 via ocean deoxygenation impacts performance of reef building corals remains unclear.
