Thermal adaptation in coral Stylophora pistillata is polygenic and largely population-specific across the Great Barrier Reef, yet range-wide models predict regional genotype-environment patterns and future maladaptation.

The paper examines thermal tolerance differences among cryptic coral taxa during a heatwave, finding that survival correlates with biological factors rather than environmental exposure.

This study shows that three-way admixture in corals leads to parallel genetic differentiation and adaptive introgression in specific regions of the Great Barrier Reef.

The paper uses causal modeling to show that habitat heterogeneity is linked to lower genetic diversity in corals, with species-specific and spatially varying effects.

This study examines genetic connectivity and diversity of corals and their algal symbionts across the Western Pacific, revealing distinct population structures and adaptive potential.

This study shows that coral fertilization success depends on proximity and current alignment, with reproductive isolation threatening degraded reef populations.

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