Genomic signatures of coral adaptation and recovery following a mass mortality event

James E. Fifer, Kelly E. Speare, Sarah E. Leinbach, Stephanie F. Hendricks, Sarah W. Davies, Noah H. Rose, Deron E. Burkepile, Thomas C. Adam, Gretchen E. Hofmann, Marie E. Strader

This study examines how coral genomes adapt and recover after a mass mortality event, showing host genetics influences survival and that allele frequency shifts are habitat-specific.
