For many long‐lived taxa, such as trees and corals, older, and larger individuals often have
the lowest mortality and highest fecundity. However, climate change‐driven disturbances …

Coral reefs are the most diverse marine ecosystems. However, coral cover has decreased
worldwide due to natural disturbances, climate change, and local anthropogenic drivers. In …

Model systems approaches search for commonality in patterns underlying biological
diversity and complexity led by common evolutionary paths. The success of the approach …

Comparative analysis of the expanding genomic resources for scleractinian corals may
provide insights into the evolution of these organisms, with implications for their continued …

Mixotrophy is among the most successful nutritional strategies in terrestrial and marine
ecosystems. The ability of organisms to supplement primary nutritional modes along …

The application of molecular genetics has reinvigorated and improved how species are
defined and investigated scientifically, especially for morphologically cryptic micro …

Tropical coral reefs are among the most affected ecosystems by climate change and face
increasing loss in the coming decades. Effective conservation strategies that maximize …

Background Our ability to investigate processes sha** the evolutionary diversification of
corals (Cnidaria: Anthozoa) is limited by a lack of understanding of species boundaries …

Abstract Anthozoans (eg, corals, anemones) are an ecologically important and diverse
group of marine metazoans that occur from shallow to deep waters worldwide. However, our …

Variation among functionally similar species in their response to environmental stress
buffers ecosystems from changing states. Functionally similar species may often be cryptic …
