High-latitude marginal reefs support fewer but bigger corals than their tropical counterparts

F. Chong, B. Sommer, G. Stant, N. Verano, J. Cant, L. Lachs, M. L. Johnson, D. R. Parsons, J. M. Pandolfi, R. Salguero-Gomez, M. Spencer, M. Beger

The paper compares coral population size structures between tropical and high-latitude marginal reefs, finding fewer but larger colonies in marginal reefs under higher environmental stress.

Unexpectedly high coral heat tolerance at thermal refugia

L. Lachs, A. Humanes, P. J. Mumby, S. D. Donner, J. C. Bythell, E. Beauchamp, L. Bukurou, D. Buzzoni, R. de la Torre Cerro, H. K. East, A. J. Edwards, Y. Golbuu, H. M. Martinez, E. van der Steeg, A. Ward, J. R. Guest

The paper identifies thermal refugia with higher heat tolerance in corals, finding that non-thermal factors may influence tolerance and that bleaching patterns do not predict species responses.

A framework for selectively breeding corals for assisted evolution

A. Humanes, J. C. Bythell, E. A. Beauchamp, M. K. Carl, J. R. Craggs, A. J. Edwards, Y. Golbuu, L. Lachs, J. L. Randle, H. M. Martinez, P. Palmowski, F. Paysinger, E. J. van der Steeg, M. Sweet, A. Treumann, J. R. Guest

This paper proposes a framework for selectively breeding corals to enhance heat tolerance and rearing them to 2.5-year-old colonies for reef restoration.
