Environmental, host, and symbiont drivers of heat tolerance in a species complex of reef-building corals

The paper quantifies heat tolerance variation in a coral species complex and identifies environmental, host, and symbiont genomic predictors of thermal thresholds.

Thermal tolerance traits of individual corals are widely distributed across the Great Barrier Reef

The paper quantifies thermal tolerance variation in Acropora spathulata corals across the Great Barrier Reef and finds widespread phenotypic variation and environmental predictors of heat tolerance.

Genomic and transcriptomic signals of thermal tolerance in heat-tolerant corals (Platygyra daedalea) of the Arabian/Persian Gulf

The paper assesses thermal tolerance in Gulf corals, finding high heritability and genetic markers linked to heat tolerance, with transcriptional differences between tolerant and susceptible families.
