A Likely Ancient Genome Duplication in the Speciose Reef-Building Coral Genus, Acropora

iScience, 2019
Summary: Whole-genome duplication (WGD) has been recognized as a significant evolutionary force in the origin and diversification of multiple organisms. Acropora, a speciose reef-building coral genus, is suspected to have originated by polyploidy.

Weak Structure and Environment‐Associated Loci Across a Eutrophication Gradient in a Resilient Coral Species

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Marine species often have large effective population sizes and high connectivity that reduce drift and preserve diversity, but how these features shape adaptation to anthropogenic change remains unclear; Oulastrea crispata, a stress‐tolerant Indo‐Pacific coral, is an ideal test case along a strong eutrophication gradient. Using RADseq on 90 individuals

Acropora loripes

, 2004
The Acropora loripes group (Wallace, 1999) Radial corallites rounded appressed tubular; with a tendency towards the absence of radial corallites on distal parts of the colony. Coenosteum based on elaborated spinules, densely arranged throughout. Colony shape various based on development of secondary branchlets, either hispidose or corymbose form.

Biogeographical Patterns of Coral‐Associated Symbiodiniaceae Across Thermal Regimes Including Trace Molecular Detection of Cladocopium thermophilum (C3‐Gulf) in the Seychelles

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Reef‐building corals rely on symbiotic dinoflagellates (Symbiodiniaceae) for survival; however, the distribution of thermotolerant symbionts across environmental gradients remains poorly understood. Using ITS2 metabarcoding across three bioregions spanning extreme to moderate thermal regimes (Bahrain, Seychelles, and Indonesia), we show that ...

Survival and Growth of Acropora spp. Branching and Tabulate Corals Using the Line Rope Method in the Waters of Tunda Island [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences
Acropora is a genus of coral that is traded as an ornamental commodity and often used for transplantation. This genus has unique life forms, including branching and tabulate forms. Coral cultivation efforts or the creation of in situ coral nurseries have

High survival following bleaching underscores the resilience of a frequently disturbed region of the Great Barrier Reef

Ecosphere, 2023
Natural bleaching events provide an opportunity to examine how local‐scale environmental variation influences bleaching severity and recovery. During the 2020 marine heat wave, we documented widespread and severe coral bleaching affecting 75%–98% of ...

Seasonal Physiological Strategies Reveal Contrasting Host–Symbiont Dynamics Among Dominant Indo‐Pacific Reef‐Building Corals

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Seasonal changes in coral physiology reveal distinct acclimatization strategies among reef‐building corals. Symbiotic generalists exhibit large seasonal fluctuations driven primarily by symbiont dynamics, whereas symbiotic specialists maintain stable symbiont physiology through stronger host regulation.

Bleaching Impacts on the Last Remaining Acropora-dominated Reefs in the United Arab Emirates

Diversity
Coral reefs in Arabian Gulf and Gulf of Oman waters of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have historically been dominated by Acropora corals. By early 2021, however, extensive Acropora cover remained at only two UAE locations: the fringing reefs of Sir Bu ...

Cytogenetic markers using single-sequence probes reveal chromosomal locations of tandemly repetitive genes in scleractinian coral Acropora pruinosa

Scientific Reports, 2021
The short and similar sized chromosomes of Acropora pose a challenge for karyotyping. Conventional methods, such as staining of heterochromatic regions, provide unclear banding patterns that hamper identification of such chromosomes.
