Active coral restoration typically involves two interventions: crossing gametes to facilitate
sexual larval propagation; and fragmenting, growing, and outplanting adult colonies to …

Coral gardening plays an important role in the recovery of depleted populations of
threatened Acropora cervicornis in the Caribbean. Over the past decade, high survival …

Background The drastic decline in the abundance of Caribbean acroporid corals (Acropora
cervicornis, A. palmata) has prompted the listing of this genus as threatened as well as the …

Reef-building corals owe much of their success to a symbiosis with dinoflagellate
microalgae in the genus Symbiodinium. In this association, the performance of each …

In preparation for a large-scale coral restoration project, we surveyed host population
genetic structure and symbiont diversity of two reef-building corals in four reef zones along …

Background Acropora cervicornis, a threatened, keystone reef-building coral has undergone
severe declines (> 90%) throughout the Caribbean. These declines could reduce genetic …

The threatened status (both ecologically and legally) of Caribbean staghorn coral, Acropora
cervicornis, has prompted rapidly expanding efforts in culture and restocking, although …

Degradation and loss of coral reefs due to climate change and other anthropogenic
stressors has fueled genomics, proteomics, and genetics research to investigate coral stress …

Genomic sequence data for non-model organisms are increasingly available requiring the
development of efficient and reproducible workflows. Here, we develop the first genomic …

The advent of next-generation sequencing tools has made it possible to conduct fine-scale
surveys of population differentiation and genome-wide scans for signatures of selection in …
