Biological controls to manage Acropora-eating flatworms in coral aquaculture
Aquaculture Environment Interactions, 2020 Coral aquaculture is expanding to supply the marine ornamental trade and active coral reef restoration. A common pest of Acropora corals is the Acropora-eating flatworm Prosthiostomum acroporae, which can cause colonial mortality at high infestation ...

The Roles of Introgression and Climate Change in the Rise to Dominance of Acropora Corals
Current Biology, 2018 Reef-building corals provide the structural basis for one of Earth's most spectacular and diverse-but increasingly threatened-ecosystems. Modern Indo-Pacific reefs are dominated by species of the staghorn coral genus Acropora, but the evolutionary and ...

Effects of moderate thermal anomalies on Acropora corals around Sesoko Island, Okinawa.
PLoS ONE, 2019 Over the past several decades, coral reef ecosystems have experienced recurring bleaching events. These events were predominantly caused by thermal anomalies, which vary widely in terms of severity and spatio-temporal distribution.

Global coral genomic vulnerability explains recent reef losses [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsThe dramatic decline of reef-building corals calls for a better understanding of coral adaptation to ocean warming. Here, we characterize genetic diversity of the widespread genus Acropora by building a genomic database of 595 coral samples from ...

Molecular Ecology, 2019 The bacterial and microalgal endosymbiont (Symbiodiniaceae spp.) communities associated with corals have important roles in their health and resilience, yet little is known about the factors driving their succession during early coral life stages.

Comparative genomics of two closely related Acropora coral species with different spawning seasons reveals genomic regions possibly associated with gametogenesis [PDF]
BMC Ecology and EvolutionMarine invertebrates release their gametes at an optimal time to produce the next generation. In reef-building scleractinian corals, synchronous spawning is essential for reproductive success. Molecular mechanisms of scleractinian gametogenesis have been

Evaluating stress antagonists for enhanced coral recovery after natural heat exposure [PDF]
Scientific ReportsHard corals are highly susceptible to heat stress, often leading to bleaching and mortality, making it critical to identify solutions for stress mitigation and recovery.

Complete mitochondrial genomes of three reef forming Acropora corals (Acroporidae, Scleractinia) from Chagos Archipelago, Indian Ocean [PDF]
Biodiversity Data Journal, 2021 We present the first mitochondrial genomes from Chagos Archipelago, Indian Ocean, of three putative species of reef forming Acropora (Acropora aff. tenuis, Acropora aff. cytherea and Acropora aff. orbicularis).
