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.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.Short‐term thermal stress triggers distinct molecular responses in three sympatric coral species with contrasting thermal resilience. Proteomic and metabolomic profiling reveal both species‐specific and limited shared pathways underlying these stress responses.

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

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.

Genetic Diversity of Sexually Propagated Corals Is Maintained From the Aquarium to the Reef
Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 5, March 2026.ABSTRACT Amidst global reef declines, large‐scale coral aquaculture is being developed to support reef intervention. Genetic diversity underpins population resilience and therefore it is critical that aquaculture methods maintain diversity. However, it remains unclear how genetic diversity of coral progeny is shaped by (1) parental genetic composition,

Patterns of Sponge Abundance Across a Gradient of Habitat Quality in the Wakatobi Marine National Park, Indonesia [PDF]
, 2011 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

Carbonate sedimentology: An evolved discipline
The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract Although admired and examined since antiquity, carbonate sediment and rock research really began with Charles Darwin who, during a discovery phase, studied, documented and interpreted their nature in the mid‐19th century. The modern discipline, however, really began after World War II and evolved in two distinct phases.
