Shifting paradigms in restoration of the world's coral reefs
Many ecosystems around the world are rapidly deteriorating due to both local and global
pressures, and perhaps none so precipitously as coral reefs. Management of coral reefs …

Genetic isolation by environment or distance: which pattern of gene flow is most common?
Gene flow among populations can enhance local adaptation if it introduces new genetic
variants available for selection, but strong gene flow can also stall adaptation by swam** …
