Journal ArticleDOI
Genomic determinants of coral heat tolerance across latitudes
TL;DR: An up–to–10-fold increase in odds of survival of coral larvae under heat stress when their parents come from a warmer lower-latitude location is shown.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for a host role in thermotolerance divergence between populations of the mustard hill coral (Porites astreoides) from different reef environments.
Carly D. Kenkel,Gretchen Goodbody-Gringley,Gretchen Goodbody-Gringley,Damien Caillaud,Sarah W. Davies,Erich Bartels,Mikhail V. Matz +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that inshore corals are more tolerant of a 6‐week temperature stress than offshore corals, and coral host populations showed significant genetic divergence between inshores and offshore reefs, suggesting that in Porites astreoides, the coral host might play a prominent role in holobiont thermotolerance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Considerations for maximizing the adaptive potential of restored coral populations in the western Atlantic.
Iliana B. Baums,Andrew C. Baker,Sarah W. Davies,Andréa G. Grottoli,Carly D. Kenkel,Sheila A. Kitchen,Ilsa B. Kuffner,Todd C. LaJeunesse,Mikhail V. Matz,Margaret W. Miller,John Everett Parkinson,Andrew A. Shantz +11 more
TL;DR: Basic guidelines to help restoration practitioners meet the adaptive potential of reef‐building corals facing a rapidly changing environment are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic variation in responses to a settlement cue and elevated temperature in the reef-building coral Acropora millepora
Eli Meyer,Sarah W. Davies,Shi Wang,Bette L. Willis,David Abrego,Thomas E. Juenger,Mikhail V. Matz +6 more
TL;DR: The phenotypic variance observed among the small number of families analyzed here suggests the existence of considerable heritable variation in natural coral populations, which supports the possibility of effective adaptive responses to climate change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deep-sequencing method for quantifying background abundances of Symbiodinium types: exploring the rare Symbiodinium biosphere in reef-building corals
TL;DR: The ability of deep sequencing of the ITS locus to detect and quantify low-abundant Symbiodinium types, as well as finer-scale diversity below the type level, will enable more robust quantification of local genetic diversity in Symbiod inium populations.
