Table coral

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...

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!

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.

Connectivity differs by orders of magnitude among co-distributed corals, affecting spatial scales of eco-evolutionary processes Dispersal and gene flow differ among corals of the Great Barrier Reef, affecting genetic diversity and adaptive responses.
