The Fate of Coral Feeding Scars Following Predation by Individual Crown‐of‐Thorns Seastars [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.Low density populations of crown‐of‐thorns seastars (COTS) create consistent‐sized feeding scars across diverse coral taxa at One Tree Reef on the southern Great Barrier Reef. While most feeding scars were initially colonised by turf and crustose coralline algae, a quarter showed signs of live coral tissue regeneration after 22 weeks, with Montipora ...

Developmental Fates of Progenitor/Undifferentiated Cells With Histone Trimethylation Tags in the Stony Coral, Acropora tenuis [PDF]
Development, Growth &Differentiation, Volume 68, Issue 7, September 2026.In the stony coral, Acropora tenuis, embryos and larvae have progenitor/undifferentiated cells. Undifferentiated‐like cells differentiate into the pharyngeal stomodeum at an early larval stage, and nerve progenitors possess the dual potential to differentiate into nerve cells and vacuolated hyaline cells, depending on the oral‐aboral position ...

Assisted Gene Flow Yields Physiologically Robust Acropora palmata With Novel Allelic and Transcriptomic Profiles [PDF]
Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 9, September 2026.ABSTRACT Assisted gene flow (AGF) is a conservation approach that facilitates the spread of alleles and may accelerate the recovery of genetically depauperate populations. The threatened Caribbean coral Acropora palmata is approaching regional extinction within the western Atlantic partly due to increasing water temperatures associated with global ...

The Whole-Genome Sequence of the Coral Acropora millepora
Genome Biology and Evolution, 2019 [Excerpt] Reef-building corals are iconic animals that are in global decline as a consequence of increasing anthropogenic pressure, but the development of strategies to ensure their conservation is constrained by our limited understanding of the ...
