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.

, 2020 Jonathan Barton studied the Acropora-eating flatworm (AEFW). He found this coral parasite on corals of the Great Barrier Reef, and investigated management tools for this pest in coral aquaculture. His methods are used in industry and at the National Sea Simulator for treatment and prevention of AEFW infestations.
