The impact of ocean acidification (OA) on coral calcification, a subject of intense current interest, is poorly understood in part because of the presence of symbionts in adult...

Considerable attention has recently been focussed on the potential involvement of DNA methylation in regulating gene expression in cnidarians. Much of this work has been centred...

This project tested for a correlation between signatures of gene body methylation and environmentally driven variation in gene expression. Specifically we tested whether...

Diversity array technology sequencing (DArT-seq) of three coral species (Acropora millepora, Pocillopora damicornis and Pocillopora acuta) distributed across 20 reefs of New...

Experiment were conducted at Orpheus Island research station in November 2018. Four adult colonies of Acropora millepora were acquired from Northeast Orpheus (labeled N1, N2,...

<p> This transcriptome study is being performed by MatzLAB at the University of texas at Austin.

Molecular mechanisms underlying coral larval competence determine their dispersal potential and are potential targets of natural selection. We profiled competence, fluorescence...

As atmospheric levels of CO2 increase, reef-building corals are under greater stress from both increased sea surface temperatures and declining sea water pH. To date, most...

Coral reefs are essential to many nations, and are currently in global decline. Although climate models predict decreases in seawater pH (0.3 units) and oxygen saturation (5...

Coral reef organisms are increasingly and simultaneously affected by global and local stressors such as ocean acidification (OA) and reduced light availability. However,...

Coral reefs are facing major global and local threats due to climate change-induced increases in dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and because of land-derived increases in...

Early-life stages of reef-building corals are vital to coral existence and reef maintenance. It is therefore crucial to study juvenile coral response to future climate change...

This study investigates the effects of long-term exposure to OA on skeletal parameters of four tropical zooxanthellate corals naturally living at CO2 seeps and adjacent control...

Coral reefs are iconic ecosystems with immense ecological, economic and cultural value, but globally their carbonate-based skeletal construction is threatened by ocean...
