SUCCESSFUL DEMONSTRATION OF ASSISTED GENE FLOW IN THE THREATENED CORAL ACROPORA PALMATA ACROSS GENETICALLY-ISOLATED CARIBBEAN POPULATIONS USING CRYOPRESERVED SPERM

Mary Hagedorn, Christopher A. Page, Keri ONeill, Daisy M. Flores, Lucas Tichy, Valerie F. Chamberland, Claire Lager, Nikolas Zuchowicz, Kathryn Lohr, Harvey Blackburn, Tali Vardi, Jennifer Moore, Tom Moore, Mark J. A. Vermeij, Kristen L. Marhaver

This study demonstrates that cryopreserved coral sperm can enable successful assisted gene flow between genetically-isolated Caribbean populations of Acropora palmata, producing viable larvae and showing reproductive compatibility across populations.
