Assisted recovery of tissue loss in massive corals Orbicella faveolata: an alternative conservation tool for restoring damaged colonies

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Introduction Coral reefs, vital for marine ecosystems and human well‐being, face drastic decline due to climate change effects. In the Caribbean, global disturbances and regional water pollution exacerbate conditions, eliciting disease outbreaks that, in synergy with coral bleaching and hurricanes, cause significant damage to key reef‐building

Survival, rarity, and extinction in tropical stony corals

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Many reef‐building tropical corals are becoming rare. We considered the meaning of rarity in corals and highlighted taxa that have reached low abundances in the last few decades. The difficulties of quantifying rarity in the marine environment arise from the sheer scale and 3‐dimensional nature of the biome and the inherent challenges therein ...

Differential susceptibility of reef-building corals to deoxygenation reveals remarkable hypoxia tolerance

Scientific Reports, 2021
Ocean deoxygenation threatens the persistence of coastal ecosystems worldwide. Despite an increasing awareness that coastal deoxygenation impacts tropical habitats, there remains a paucity of empirical data on the effects of oxygen limitation on reef ...

The Host Coral Bleaching Response Viewed Through the Lens of Multi‐Omics

BioEssays, Volume 48, Issue 1, January 2026.
Coral bleaching is driven by multiple inputs, with heat stress and/or high irradiance being most important. The bleaching response is multifactorial with host animal species/strain and algal symbiont genotypes being critical features. Omics readout of heat stress responses includes gene expression, proteomics, metabolite, and SNP data with transcript ...

Quantifying fish‐derived nutrient hotspots across reefscapes

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 1, Page 143-156, January 2026.
We show how reef structural complexity at multiple scales shapes fish‐driven nutrient hotspots and benthic enrichment. By identifying thresholds in relief and fine‐scale complexity, our study reveals when and where nutrient hotspots may form on coral reefs, offering practical guidance for coral reef restoration and ecosystem management.

Seawater carbonate chemistry and the physiological response of Acropora cervicornis

, 2021
Knowledge of multi-stressor interactions and the potential for tradeoffs among tolerance traits is essential for developing intervention strategies for the conservation and restoration of reef ecosystems in a changing climate.

Extirpation of Acropora cervicornis genotypes from a coral nursery during the 2023 marine heatwave undermines conservation efforts

Frontiers in Marine Science
Global climate change has decimated historical baseline coral cover in the Caribbean, including wild Acropora cervicornis, now listed as Critically Endangered by the IUCN Red List of Species.

Evaluating the potential of natural reproduction and artificial techniques to increase Acropora cervicornis populations at Discovery Bay, Jamaica

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2006
Shallow water Acropora species have become uncommon on north coast Jamaican coral reefs owing to a number of factors. On many reefs, algae have taken their place.

Ancient Hybridisation Fuelled Diversification in Acropora Corals

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 22, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Introgression is the infiltration or flow of genes from one species to another through hybridisation followed by backcrossing. This may lead to incorrect phylogenetic reconstruction or divergence‐time estimation. Acropora is a dominant genus of reef‐building corals; however, whether this group has an introgression history before their ...
