Next up in the S. pistillata saga: thermal tolerance differs among cryptic coral species and associated symbionts during a heatwave. Now out in @royalsocietypublishing.org 🧵 royalsocietypublishing.org/rspb/article...

As marine heatwaves intensify, who survives - and why? Maitri Manjunath highlights work from @zoe-meziere.bsky.social & team who studied the variation in coral thermal stress responses during a real-time marine heatwave 🪸 #preprint #ecology #preLight: prelights.biologists.com/highlights/h...

Three-way hybridization of table corals in the Acropora hyacinthus group from the southern Great Barrier Reef results in parallel adaptive introgression. Check out our new preprint: doi.org/10.64898/202... #CoralSky #MarEvol #coral #popgen #consgen #genomics

I'm excited to release a new preprint! We find geographically restricted genomic signatures of thermal adaptation, predicable genome-wide GxE patterns and high spatial variability in genomic offset in a Great Barrier Reef coral 🪸 Huge thanks to all co-authors! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Standing genetic variation for heat adaptation under moderate scenarios (<=SSP2-4.5) is spatially widespread in Stylophora pistillata from the GBR. Genomic offsets, GEAs, redundancy analyses. Led by @zoe-meziere.bsky.social.   #CoralSky #consgen #MarEvol   www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
