This study identifies and characterizes three classes of small RNAs in sperm from three cnidarian species, revealing their potential role in paternal epigenetic inheritance.

The paper tracks coral thermal performance over a decade, showing species-specific changes in thermal acclimatization and recovery after a marine heatwave.

This study investigates how elevated temperature affects intracellular pH and calcification in the temperate coral Astrangia poculata, finding no pH or calcification changes despite tissue damage, contrasting with tropical cnidarians.

This study compares the genome of the temperate coral Astrangia poculata with the tropical coral Acropora millepora to identify gene family expansions related to winter quiescence, innate immunity, and sexual reproduction.

This study examines the effects of hypoxia on early life stages of three cnidarian species, finding decreased larval performance and impaired settlement in corals, with species-specific responses to heat stress.

This study tracks recovery trajectories of two coral species after multiple marine heatwaves, finding divergent recovery patterns between species and within species based on bleaching resistance.
