Environmental, host, and symbiont drivers of heat tolerance in a species complex of reef-building corals

The paper quantifies heat tolerance variation in a coral species complex and identifies environmental, host, and symbiont genomic predictors of thermal thresholds.

Thermal tolerance traits of individual corals are widely distributed across the Great Barrier Reef

The paper quantifies thermal tolerance variation in Acropora spathulata corals across the Great Barrier Reef and finds widespread phenotypic variation and environmental predictors of heat tolerance.

Genetic variation in heat tolerance of the coral Platygyra daedalea indicates the potential for adaptation to ocean warming

This study identifies genetic variation associated with heat tolerance in the coral Platygyra daedalea, showing high heritability and complex genomic architecture.

Global gene expression patterns in response to white patch syndrome: Disentangling symbiont loss from the thermal stress response in reef-building coral

This study investigates gene expression changes in coral with white patch syndrome, distinguishing symbiont loss from thermal stress, and finds that expression patterns correlate with stress responses rather than symbiotic state.

Population genetics of the coral Acropora millepora: Towards a genomic predictor of bleaching

This study generates a genome assembly for Acropora millepora and identifies genetic predictors of bleaching using genome-wide association analysis.
