Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Global warming and rising sea temperatures are pushing many reef‐building coral species towards extinction. As thermal tolerance in corals is partially heritable, identifying genes under thermal selection is critical for targeted biodiversity management.

Thermal performance of scleractinian corals
, 2019 Temperature has a fundamental influence on the physiology, biology and ecology of all organisms, and varies over time and space. Organisms evolved different strategies to cope with this spatial and temporal thermal heterogeneity. For instance, organisms that inhabit thermally variable environments will function over a wider range of temperatures than ...

Transcriptome Analysis of the Scleractinian Coral Stylophora pistillata
PLoS ONE, 2014 The principal architects of coral reefs are the scleractinian corals; these species are divided in two major clades referred to as "robust" and "complex" corals. Although the molecular diversity of the "complex" clade has received considerable attention, with several expressed sequence tag (EST) libraries and a complete genome sequence having been ...

Marine benthic flora and fauna of Gourdon Bay and the Dampier Peninsula in the Kimberley region of North-Western Australia [PDF]
, 2011 Surveys undertaken to characterise the marine benthic habitats along the Dampier Peninsula and further south at Gourdon Bay in the Kimberley region of Western Australia were augmented with epibenthic sled sampling of soft and hard bottom habitats.

Scleractinian reef corals: identification notes
, 2004 The purpose of this booklet is to highlight the characters that are most important for distinguishing species of scleractinian reef corals that I have needed to identify or compare for various purposes. Information is taken from: • The Australian Institute of Marine Science monograph series • Corals of the World by Veron, 2000 • New Species

EcosphereScleractinian coral evolved under nitrogen (N)‐limited conditions. The increase in N flux from anthropogenic activities to these otherwise N‐depleted environments is threatening coral health and coral reef ecosystem function.

Cold-water coral reef frameworks, megafaunal communities and evidence for coral carbonate mounds on the Hatton Bank, north east Atlantic [PDF]
, 2008 Offshore banks and seamounts sustain diverse megafaunal communities, including framework reefs formed by cold-water corals. Few studies have quantified environmental effects on the alpha or beta diversity of these communities.
