This study shows that juvenile corals are less heat-tolerant than adults, suggesting their survival advantage during heatwaves may be due to microhabitat conditions rather than intrinsic physiology.

The CoralAssist Plug (CAP) improves outplant success of sexually propagated corals by enhancing survivorship and reducing labor costs through its design features.

This paper develops machine learning classifiers to detect coral seeding devices in reef imagery, achieving high accuracy with minimal manual annotation.

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 shows that excluding large grazers using deterrents significantly improves survival and growth of outplanted juvenile corals.

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