Open AccessPaired metabolomics and volatilomics provides insight into transient high light stress response mechanisms of the coral Montipora mollis
The coral holobiont is underpinned by complex metabolic exchanges between different symbiotic partners, which are impacted by environmental stressors. The chemical diversity of the compounds produced by the ho...

Open AccessPopulation and clonal structure of Acropora cf. hyacinthus to inform coral restoration practices on the Great Barrier Reef
A key goal of coral restoration is to re-establish self-sustaining coral populations and ensure resilience to future stressors, which requires that genetic diversity is maximised. However, coral genetic and ge...

Open AccessLoss of coral thermotolerance following year-long in situ nursery propagation with a consecutively high summer heat-load
Exposure to more frequent ocean warming events is driving the loss of coral reef cover as the window of recovery between episodes of bleaching reduces. Coral propagation via in situ nurseries and subsequent ou...

Open AccessRestoration as a meaningful aid to ecological recovery of coral reefs
Restoration supports the recovery of ecological attributes such as cover, complexity, and diversity to slow the areal decline of natural ecosystems. Restoration activity is intensifying worldwide to combat per...

Distinct emissions of biogenic volatile organic compounds from temperate benthic taxa
Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) are emitted by all organisms as intermediate or end-products of metabolic processes. Individual BVOCs perform important physiological, ecological and climatic functi...

Open AccessPhysiological factors facilitating the persistence of Pocillopora aliciae and Plesiastrea versipora in temperate reefs of south-eastern Australia under ocean warming
High-latitude reefs are suboptimal coral habitats, but such habitats are increasingly considered to be potential refugia from climate change for range-shifting coral reef species. Notably, tropical reef fish h...
