This study transplants corals between shallow and mesophotic depths to assess their physiological and transcriptomic plasticity, finding shallow corals have greater acclimatory capacity than mesophotic ones.

The paper compares the skeletal proteomes of three coral species to identify a conserved biomineralization toolkit across different environments and symbiotic statuses.

The paper generates a single-cell transcriptomic atlas of coral during heat stress and recovery, revealing cell type-specific transcriptional responses and symbiont dynamics.

This study exposes early life stages of Pocillopora acuta to warming and acidification scenarios, finding survival under moderate conditions but significant negative effects under severe conditions.

The paper examines gene expression across developmental stages in coral to clarify maternal mRNA provisioning and the maternal-to-zygotic transition.

This study combines in-vivo and cryo-electron microscopy with single-cell RNA-seq to investigate the calcifying micro-environment in stony coral primary polyps, revealing the role of seawater and calicoblastic cells in biomineralization.

The paper examines physiological and transcriptomic differences in a single coral colony, finding distinct functional roles in different polyp locations due to environmental gradients.

The paper investigates how coral polyps and their algal symbionts respond to decreasing seawater pH, finding physiological and transcriptional changes that suggest adaptive strategies.
