Journal ArticleDOI
Abundance, size, and survival of recruits of the reef coral Pocillopora acuta under ocean warming and acidification.
TL;DR: Results of this study indicate that P. acuta is able to recruit under projected levels of ocean warming and acidification but are susceptible to bleaching and mortality during the warmest months.
Journal ArticleDOI
Disentangling the relative merits and disadvantages of parentage analysis and assignment tests for inferring population connectivity
TL;DR: A forward-time agent-based model that incorporates relevant natural history and physical oceanography for 135 Kellet’s whelk populations from Southern California dispel a number of common misconceptions in the field and highlight areas for both future research and methodological improvements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diversity and Structure of Parrotfish Assemblages across the Northern Great Barrier Reef
Garrett Johnson,Brett M. Taylor,William D. Robbins,Erik C. Franklin,Robert J. Toonen,Brian W. Bowen,J. Howard Choat +6 more
TL;DR: Investigating the assemblage structure and diversity of parrotfishes on the Northern Great Barrier Reef suggests their cross-shelf variation on the GBR is likely reflective of benthic resource distribution and species-specific feeding modes.
Journal ArticleDOI
A taxonomic survey of Saudi Arabian Red Sea octocorals (Cnidaria: Alcyonacea)
Roxanne D. Haverkort-Yeh,Catherine S. McFadden,Yehuda Benayahu,Michael L. Berumen,Michael L. Berumen,Anna Halàsz,Robert J. Toonen +6 more
TL;DR: A preliminary survey of Saudi Arabian Alcyonacea is presented, which combines classical taxonomy, multilocus molecular barcodes, and in situ photographs, and highlights octocoral taxa that require further taxonomic attention.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the potential utility of genomic data from wild and domesticated eukaryote species in the world's largest genomic data repository, and found that most archived genomic datasets (86%) lacked the spatiotemporal metadata necessary for genetic biodiversity surveillance.
