Considerations for maximizing the adaptive potential of restored coral populations in the western Atlantic
Active coral restoration typically involves two interventions: crossing gametes to facilitate
sexual larval propagation; and fragmenting, growing, and outplanting adult colonies to …

Gene expression under chronic heat stress in populations of the mustard hill coral (Porites astreoides) from different thermal environments
Recent evidence suggests that corals can acclimatize or adapt to local stress factors through
differential regulation of their gene expression. Profiling gene expression in corals from …
