Corallivore assemblage, feeding behavior, and cover of Acropora corals drive fish corallivory on tropical reefs

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Understanding spatial patterns and drivers of corallivory is essential for assessing reef resilience and identifying recovery pathways. Fish corallivory patterns arise from the complex direct and indirect effects of key factors, including food availability (cover of preferred corals), the nature of the corallivore assemblage (richness and ...

First evidence for backcrossing of F1 hybrids in Acropora corals under sperm competition

Scientific Reports, 2022
Acropora is a species-rich genus of reef-building corals with highly diverse morphologies. Hybridization among intercrossing species potentially influences species diversity within Acropora.

Genotype and local environment dynamically influence growth, disturbance response and survivorship in the threatened coral, Acropora cervicornis

PLoS ONE, 2017
The relationship between the coral genotype and the environment is an important area of research in degraded coral reef ecosystems. We used a reciprocal outplanting experiment with 930 corals representing ten genotypes on each of eight reefs to ...

Reducing consumer pressure increases community dissimilarity leading to coral‐ or algal‐dominance on a coral reef

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract In many ecosystems, anthropogenic influences are altering the strength of top‐down (e.g., herbivory and predation by consumers) and bottom‐up (e.g., nutrients) processes through the exploitation of consumers and increasing anthropogenic nutrient inputs.

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.

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.

Compound Hypoxia With Heat or Acidification Stress Induces Synergistic and Additive Effects on Coral Physiology

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
Multi‐stressor experiments on three coral species demonstrate hypoxia produces mostly additive effects with acidification but synergistically amplifies physiological stress under elevated temperatures. As global and local environmental change increase compound stress events on coral reefs, distinguishing hypoxia‐driven effects and interactive stressor ...

Disentangling the effect of host-genotype and environment on the microbiome of the coral Acropora tenuis

PeerJ, 2019
Genotype-specific contributions to the environmental tolerance and disease susceptibility of corals are widely accepted. Yet our understanding of how host genotype influences the composition and stability of the coral microbiome subjected to ...

Altered Coral‐Turf Algae Competition Leads to the Passive Dissolution of Coral Skeletons Under Ocean Acidification

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
Under ocean acidification, turf algae are favored over corals, shifting the competition outcome and decreasing coral survival. The local pH microenvironment under the turf, resulting from associated biological activity, drives the dissolution of the coral carbonate skeleton.
