Anthropogenic impacts have increased ocean temperatures, causing large-scale bleaching events across the world’s coral reefs. Emerging studies suggest that coral color plays a role in bleaching resilience, however the molecular patterns behind coral…

Transcriptomic Signatures of Accimation in 'Susceptible' Acropora Surculosa and 'Resistant' Porites Rus

UOGThesis_CNAS_CS_TranscriptomicSignatures.pdf
As ocean temperatures rise globally, the search for individual coral genotypes that are currently able to survive environmental extremes becomes more critical. Certain corals in Guam inhabit more thermally variable shallow reef flats than their…
