Second chapter of Master's is now published ! 🥳
Within, we used flow cytometry to reveal that cellular plasticity was responsible for phenotypic change and seasonal acclimation in Guam's dominant Acropora coral. 🪸🪸🪸

🪸Captured this rare shot of Acropora hyacinthus with its eggs set, just moments before spawning. The polyps of this species are tiny, housed in corralites only 0.4 - 1.1mm in diameter. Awesome

Love is in the water!!! 🪸💕

Spawning season is officially on!!! Today we got some Acropora in full romance mode! KAUST Research Red Sea Research Center, KAUST

Super cool shot from Wally Rich 😎

This week we are checking on our seeded #coral recruits in the northern #GreatBarrierReef .
The Acropora digitifera corals seem to love their new engineered homes, and our preliminary results look very promising for restoration with this species 🪸

We are on it to try see coral spawning at Shusha island north #redsea . Some of the UV light at Acropora species looks amazing! Red Sea Research Center, KAUST David J Suggett

On todays episode of International House Hunters… where will these Acropora tenuis find their next home? Will it be smooth corner A, smooth corner B, or waggle dance spot at the center of town? Stay tuned!

New preprint: Genome assemblies and genetic maps for Caribbean Acropora palmata and A. cervicornis!
Both species have 14 chromosomes and largely similar genome structure. Notable exceptions were a 2.5Mb inversion and a 1.4 Mb translocation.

So excited to share our new paper on Acropora palmata 🚨

Have you ever seen a Purple-eyed Goby (Bryaninops natans)? This small (less than an inch long!) goby is known for its eye-catching bright pink to purple eyes and are associated with Acropora corals. I photographed this individual in Apo Reef Natural Park, Philippines.

The extent of the damage can be seen from the sky...The remaining colonies of Acropora palmata (after decades of decline) are fully bleached in some reefs.

As our Acropora corals have bloomed in our Tiaia nursery, a giant school of blue chromis damselfish have moved into this new source of life for shelter. Check out our garden in real-time and up close through our ReefOS livestream: bit.ly/3YmdyHv

Amazing reef yesterday with solid coral diversity. Saw a few favorites, including this table Acropora and brain coral (is it Favia? Montastrea?). Nice to see a healthy reef, given the news from the rest of the world. #HopeforReefs

A little pre-spawn from one of our Acropora digitifera colonies here at Palau International Coral Reef Center (PICRC). Hoping tomorrow may be a bigger spawning night!
