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

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

Cryptic diversity shapes coral symbioses, physiology, and response to thermal challenge

The paper identifies cryptic coral lineages with functional differences in thermal tolerance and growth, highlighting their role in coral reef resilience to climate change.
