My first #PhD dissertation chapter was just published in Ecology and Evolution! We characterized the gene expression patterns of staghorn and knobby brain corals in response to thermal preconditioning. read our #openaccess paper here! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Wanted to share this pre-print from my collaborators at Mote Marine Lab in Summerland Key!! The effort and analyses in this manuscript is super impressive to me. When I was an intern at Mote, I helped take care of these AGF Curaçao-Florida babies 😍 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Assisted gene flow yields Acropora palmata corals with robust physiological performance under warmer water temperatures in a land-based nursery
Assisted gene flow (AGF) is a conservation approach that facilitates the spread of alleles and may accelerate the recovery of genetically depauperate cohorts. The threatened Caribbean coral Acropora p...
