Genomic Resources for Imperiled Caribbean Reef‐Forming Corals (Hexacorallia: Scleractinia): Complete Mitochondrial Genomes of Dichocoenia stokesii, Diploria labyrinthiformis, Oculina patagonica, and Stephanocoenia intersepta

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Mitochondrial genomes of imperiled Caribbean corals are sequenced. These genomic resources will support conservation initiatives. ABSTRACT Coral reefs provide a wide variety of services essential to both marine ecosystems and human societies yet reef‐forming corals are currently facing a multitude of global and local environmental stressors.

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 ...

Physiological and Epigenetic Responses of the Long‐Spined Sea Urchin Diadema antillarum Across a Spatiotemporal Gradient

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Following catastrophic population declines in the 1980s and 2022, the keystone herbivore Diadema antillarum has become a focal species for Caribbean‐wide restoration initiatives. In the present work, we combined an 11‐month field survey across four reefs in the island of Culebra, Puerto Rico, with a reciprocal transplant experiment to evaluate ...
