This study optimises fertilisation kinetics models for two Acropora coral species using experimental data to improve predictions of reproductive success and inform reef management.

This study examines how wind-driven hydrodynamics affect coral fertilization and larval development, finding that increased wind speeds reduce fertilization success and embryo viability.

The paper investigates reproductive strategies in Platygyra daedalea, finding high spawning asynchrony, self-fertilization, and genetic subpopulations, suggesting limited cross-fertilization and potential reproductive assurance through selfing.

This study shows that coral fertilization success depends on proximity and current alignment, with reproductive isolation threatening degraded reef populations.
