Metagenomic data of bacterial communities associated with Acropora species from Phu Quoc Islands, Vietnam

Data in Brief, 2023
Abtract: Acropora is one of the most common coral genera found in Phu Quoc Islands, Vietnam. However, the presence of marine snails, such as the coralllivorous gastropod Drupella rugosa, was a potential threat to the survival of many scleractinian ...

Propagation method and species drive survival patterns across reef zones in coral seeding on the Great Barrier Reef

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Coral reef restoration increasingly relies on scalable methods, yet outcomes vary across species, propagation techniques, and habitats. Coral seeding, where coral propagules are settled on deployment units before outplanting, provides a flexible approach that accommodates both asexual (e.g. microfragments) and sexual (e.g.

Bioinformatic approach to explain how Mg from seawater may be incorporated into coral skeletons

Royal Society Open Science
Corals have been used as geochemical proxies since the 1970s, playing a prominent role in paleoceanography. However, it has not been well elucidated how aqueous ions sourced from seawater are transported and precipitated in coral skeletons.

Species‐Specific Vulnerability of Northern Red Sea Mesophotic Corals to Accelerated Warming

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.
Mesophotic reefs are often considered climate refuges, yet experimental thermal‐stress reveals species‐dependent vulnerability. Skeletal optics, energy reserves, and light environment determine bleaching severity. A depth‐generalist coral resisted stress while the mesophotic specialist bleached severely.

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.

Design and Application of a Genome‐Wide SNP Array to Improve Conservation Outcomes in the Critically Endangered Southern Corroboree Frog

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Species‐specific genomic information has the potential to transform modern conservation management strategies through improved genomic assessment and management outcomes. Gaining genomic insights into genetic diversity, adaptability and potential resilience against infectious diseases is essential to enhance conservation efforts for threatened

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 ...

Potential Invasive Indo‐Pacific Acropora in a Coral Reef of Venezuela: A Contribution to Their Morphological and Molecular Knowledge

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
We report the first record of a non‐native hermatypic coral in Venezuela, exhibiting biological traits characteristic of invasive species. The coral is a member of the genus Acropora (Scleractinia: Acroporidae), native to the Indo‐Pacific. This non‐native petrous coral occurred in a reef of the Morrocoy National Park, in the southern Caribbean.

Genomic Variants Among Threatened Acropora Corals

G3 Genes|Genomes|Genetics, 2018
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.

Fluorescent protein-mediated colour polymorphism in reef corals: multicopy genes extend the adaptation/acclimatization potential to variable light environments

, 2015
The genomic framework that enables corals to adjust to unfavourable conditions is crucial for coral reef survival in a rapidly changing climate. We have explored the striking intraspecific variability in the expression of coral pigments from the green ...
