The paper presents the first chromosome-scale reference genome for Mytilus planulatus, revealing structural variation and population structure in mussels.

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.

Eco-evolutionary simulations of 3,806 Great Barrier Reef reefs project coral cover falling to ∼14% by 2040 under every emission scenario; recovery afterwards needs warming below 2°C.

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

The paper quantifies genetic diversity across 93 marine species and finds that range size and planktonic dispersal correlate with higher genetic diversity.

This study uses genomic animal models to analyze head shape variation in a marine fish, finding that phenotypic differentiation exceeds genetic differentiation at macrogeographic scales.

The paper identifies chromosomal inversions in Acropora kenti with excess mutational load, suggesting they are under balancing selection and may impact adaptation and genetic decline.

The paper quantifies the loss of spatiotemporal metadata in genomic datasets over time and advocates for improved metadata preservation practices.
