Major gaps remain in our understanding of the ecology, evolution, biodiversity, biogeography, extinction risk, and adaptive potential of reef building corals. One of the central...

A study to understand phylogeographical patterns of scleractinians corals on a fine resolution and how they differ between taxa. Slow-growing Porites compressa was compared with...

Gene expression in response to sedimentation across location (Florida, Hawai'i) and morphology (branching, intermediate, massive). Data includes RNAseq (gene expression)...

Examined physiological and transcriptomic changes in reproductive corals (Montipora capitata and Porites compressa) eight months after recovery from a bleaching event.

Porites compressa genome in the Hawaiian Archipelago

We compared existing Porites data with bleached and unbleached colonies of the branching coral P. compressa collected in Kaneohe Bay Hawaii during the 2015 coral bleaching...

This dataset includes physiological parameters of three Hawaiian coral species (Porites compressa, Porites lobata, and Montipora capitata) over 22-month mesocosm experiment. The...

This datasets consists of growth rates for coral fragments from the species Porites compressa and Montipora capitata in Kāneʻohe Bay, Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi, 2018. A reciprocal...

Coral reefs are susceptible to climate change, anthropogenic influence, and environmental stressors. However, corals in Kāneʻohe Bay, Hawaiʻi have repeatedly shown resilience...

There is a long history of examining the impacts of nutrient pollution and pH on coral reefs. However, little is known about how these two stressors interact and influence coral...

Estimates of heritability inform evolutionary potential and the likely outcome of many management actions, but such estimates remain scarce for marine organisms. Here, we report...

Coral reefs have great biological and socioeconomic value, but are threatened by ocean acidification, climate change and local human impacts. The capacity for corals to adapt or...

Ocean acidification (OA) is a pressing threat to reef-building corals, but it remains poorly understood how coral calcification is inhibited by OA and whether corals could...
