While coral reefs in Australia have historically been a showcase of conventional
management informed by research, recent declines in coral cover have triggered efforts to …

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 …

The genetic enhancement of wild animals and plants for characteristics that benefit human
populations has been practiced for thousands of years, resulting in impressive …

Reef-building corals thriving in extreme thermal environments may provide genetic variation
that can assist the evolution of populations to rapid climate warming. However, the feasibility …

The recent extensive loss of biodiversity raises the question of whether organisms will adapt
in time to survive the current era of rapid environmental change, and whether today's …

The accelerating marks of climate change on coral-reef ecosystems, combined with the
recognition that traditional management measures are not efficient enough to cope with …

Given that global warming is the greatest threat to coral reefs, coral restoration projects have
expanded worldwide with the goal of replenishing habitats whose reef-building corals …

The rate of global climate change is projected to outpace the ability of many natural
populations and species to adapt. Assisted migration (AM), which is defined as the managed …

The speed at which species adapt depends partly on the rates of beneficial adaptation
generation and how quickly they spread within and among populations. Natural rates of …

Spatially adjacent habitats on coral reefs can represent highly distinct environments, often
harbouring different coral communities. Yet, certain coral species thrive across divergent …
