Conservation of coral genetic diversity through a global biorepository network Open
If greenhouse gas emissions continue unabated, 95% of the world's shallow water reef-building corals could die within decades. Reducing global carbon emissions is critical, but progress is slow, with relief likely arriving too late. Active…

Evaluating the coral microbiome during cryopreservation Open
Coral reefs are threatened by various local and global stressors, including elevated ocean temperatures due to anthropogenic climate change. Coral cryopreservation could help secure the diversity of threatened corals. Recently, isochoric v…

Cryopreservation and revival of Hawaiian stony corals using isochoric vitrification Open
Corals are under siege by both local and global threats, creating a worldwide reef crisis. Cryopreservation is an important intervention measure and a vital component of the modern coral conservation toolkit, but preservation techniques ar…

Tank fouling community enhances coral microfragment growth Open
Anthropogenic stressors threaten reefs worldwide and natural in situ coral reproduction may be inadequate to meet this challenge. Land-based culture can provide increased coral growth, especially with microfragments. We tested whether cult…

Cryopreservation and revival of Hawaiian stony corals via isochoric vitrification Open
Corals are under siege by both local and global threats, creating a wordwide reef crisis. Cryopreservation is an important intervention measure and a vital component of the modern coral conservation toolkit, but preservation techniques are…

Solar radiation, temperature and the reproductive biology of the coral Lobactis scutaria in a changing climate Open
Coral reefs worldwide are at risk due to climate change. Coral bleaching is becoming increasingly common and corals that survive bleaching events can suffer from temporary reproductive failure for several years. While water temperature is …

A decade of coral biobanking science in Australia - transitioning into applied reef restoration Open
Active restoration or intervention programs will be required in the future to support the resilience and adaptation of coral reef ecosystems in the face of climate change. Selective propagation of corals ex situ can help conserve keystone …

Contrasting reproductive strategies of two Hawaiian Montipora corals Open
Sessile invertebrates often engage in synchronized spawning events to increase likelihood of fertilization. Although coral reefs are well studied, the reproductive behavior of most species and the relative influence of various environmenta…

Securing algal endosymbiont communities for reef-building corals Open
Photosynthetic dinoflagellates that live in symbiosis with corals (family Symbiodiniaceae) are fundamental for the survival of coral reef ecosystems. During coral bleaching events, it is assumed that these symbionts remain available in the…

Conservation of coral reef fishes: a field-hardy method to cryopreserve spermatogonial cells Open
The biodiversity of marine fishes is threatened globally by climate change and other anthropogenic activities, particularly in coral reef ecosystems. We present a simple, field-hardy method to cryopreserve marine fish gonads, targeting spe…
View article: Growth and survival among Hawaiian corals outplanted from tanks to an ocean nursery are driven by individual genotype and species differences rather than preconditioning to thermal stress
Growth and survival among Hawaiian corals outplanted from tanks to an ocean nursery are driven by individual genotype and species differences rather than preconditioning to thermal stress Open
The drastic decline in coral coverage has stimulated an interest in reef restoration, and various iterations of coral nurseries have been used to augment restoration strategies. Here we examine the growth of two species of Hawaiian Montipo…

Reproductive plasticity of Hawaiian Montipora corals following thermal stress Open
Ocean warming, fueled by climate change, is the primary cause of coral bleaching events which are predicted to increase in frequency. Bleaching is generally damaging to coral reproduction, can be exacerbated by concomitant stressors like u…

Assessing coral sperm motility Open
The declining reproductive viability of corals threatens their ability to adapt to changing ocean conditions. It is vital that we monitor this viability quantitatively and comparatively. Computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA) systems offe…

Producing Coral Offspring with Cryopreserved Sperm: A Tool for Coral Reef Restoration Open
Cryopreservation is an important conservation tool, which may help reef-building coral survive. However, scaling-up from small, laboratory-sized experiments to higher-throughput restoration is a major challenge. To be an effective restorat…

Potential bleaching effects on coral reproduction Open
Bleaching profoundly impacts coral reproduction, often for years after an event. However, detailed reproductive characteristics of coral after bleaching have not been broadly described, especially as they relate to cryopreservation. Theref…
