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

Patterns of Sponge Abundance Across a Gradient of Habitat Quality in the Wakatobi Marine National Park, Indonesia [PDF]
Sponges are important components of reef communities worldwide, fulfilling a number of important functional roles. Habitat degradation caused by the loss of hard corals has the potential to cause increases in sponge abundance and percentage cover as they

Genomic Variants Among Threatened Acropora Corals
Abstract Genomic sequence data for non-model organisms are increasingly available requiring the development of efficient and reproducible workflows. Here, we develop the first genomic resources and reproducible workflows for two threatened members of the reef-building coral genus Acropora.

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