Acropora millepora branches collected from Heron Island, GBR and exposed to past and predicted future conditions of sea temperature and pCO2 levlels for 5 weeks.

As global warming progresses, reef-building corals could avoid local population declines through “genetic rescue” involving exchange of heat-tolerant genotypes across latitudes,...

Branching scleractinian corals are niche-constructing organisms, providing continuouslygrowing, structural foundation for spectacularly biodiverse coral reef ecosystems. A large...

The DNA Zoo is a consortium focused on facilitating conservation efforts through the rapid generation and release of high-quality genomics resources.

Reducing reliance on plastic materials is key to improving sustainability of coral reef restoration efforts and minimising impacts from their application. However, biodegradable...

Cnidarians are the only non-bilaterian group to evolve ciliated larvae with an apical sensory organ integrated with neurons, possibly homologous to the bilaterians. Within...

Genotyping data for five populations of Acropora millepora from the Great Barrier Reef (2bRAD method)

Purpose: Corals are major sources of dimethylsulphoniopropionate (DMSP), a compound that plays a central role in the global sulphur cycle. While DMSP biosynthesis pathways have...

Rhythms of various periodicities drive cyclical processes in organisms ranging from single cells to the largest mammals on earth, and on scales from cellular physiology to...

Acropora millepora microbiome dynamics during out-planting on the Great Barrier Reef

The aim of this study was to investigate whether corals that spawn in different seasons (autumn and spring) in Western Australia host genetically distinct Symbiodiniaceae...

Little is known about the potential for acclimatization or adaptation of corals to ocean acidification and even less about the molecular mechanisms potentially underpinning...

We compared the effect of acute (Moya et al 2012) and chronic exposure to elevated pCO2 on gene expression in primary polyps of Acropora millepora Overall design: Examination of...

These are MBD-seq reads from a single colony of the branching coral Acropora millepora. Reads come from both captured and flowthrough preprations.

DNA methylation (mdRAD) and gene expression (TagSeq) of A. millepora corals during a heat stress experiment. The first time point is at day 5, the second is at day 15. At day 5,...

The physiological response to individual and combined stressors of elevated temperature and pCO2 were measured over a 24-day period in four Pacific corals and their respective...

Newly settled recruits typically suffer high mortality from disturbances, but rapid growth reduces their mortality once size-escape thresholds are attained. Ocean acidification...

Ocean acidification (OA) poses a major threat to calcifying organisms such as reef-building corals, typically leading to reduced calcification rates. Mechanisms to compensate...

Corals play a key role in ocean ecosystems and carbonate balance, but their molecular response to ocean acidification remains unclear. The only previous whole-transcriptome...

Rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations threaten coral reefs globally by causing ocean acidification (OA) and warming. Yet, the combined effects of elevated pCO2 and temperature...
