RDAforest: identifying environmental drivers of polygenic adaptation.

Mikhail V. Matz, Kristina L. Black

RDAforest identifies environmental drivers of polygenic adaptation by using random forest regression to model genetic covariance structures and detect non-linear relationships in simulated and real datasets.

From sediment to coral symbionts: persistent spatial structure across reef microbiomes

Carly B. Scott, Madeleine R. Collins, Emily N. Nixon, Alexa K. Huzar, Daisy M. Flores, Mikhail V. Matz, Kristina L. Black

This study compares spatial and temporal dynamics of microbial and Symbiodiniaceae communities in reef sediments and corals, finding persistent spatial structure despite temporal changes in sediments.

Environmental drivers of genetic adaptation in two corals from the Florida Keys

Kristina L. Black, John P. Rippe, Mikhail V. Matz

This study identifies depth and water chemistry as more important than temperature in driving genetic adaptation in two coral species across the Florida Keys.
