Presence–absence polymorphisms of single-copy genes in the stony coral Acropora digitifera
BMC Genomics, 2020 Background Despite the importance of characterizing genetic variation among coral individuals for understanding phenotypic variation, the correlation between coral genomic diversity and phenotypic expression is still poorly understood.

Coral Reefs in the Indonesian Seas Threatened by Heat and Cold Stress
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.Abstract Heat accumulation and rising sea surface temperatures (SST) are currently major stressors for coral reefs worldwide. Coral reefs are also impacted by cool SST anomalies, although the dynamics of cold stress events are less well understood. Here, we estimate coral bleaching metrics in the Indonesian Seas using a high‐spatial‐temporal‐resolution

Portfolio Effects and Synchrony in Coral Communities
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Reef‐building corals are well‐known for their taxonomic diversity and capacity for population variability. In investigating patterns of variability across coral taxa through a 9‐year annual time‐series, we found that a period of relative stability across the community was maintained through asynchronous fluctuations among constituent populations ...

Coral size patterns across environmental gradients and morphologies
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Coral reefs are essential ecosystems that provide important ecological services and support the livelihoods of millions of people worldwide. Understanding the size structure of coral populations is critical for assessing recovery potential; yet, our knowledge of how environmental conditions influence coral size structure, across a range of ...

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Ecosystems around the world have experienced shifts in community state as a result of anthropogenic activities that alter important ecological feedbacks. On coral reefs, transitions to a state where fleshy macroalgae are a major space holder have often been associated with the loss of top‐down control, which frequently has been attributed to ...

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 10, May 2026.ABSTRACT Shallow coral reefs are under threat from anthropogenic stress and climate change. Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs), found in deeper, cooler and less impacted waters, are proposed as potential refugia or larval sources for shallow reefs. However, this hypothesis of such deep‐reef refugia is now controversial because their effectiveness is ...
