doi.orgProximity and current alignment drive fertilisation success in a broadcast-spawning coral (Acropora cf. hyacinthus) - Communications BiologyExperimental and modelling results show that low-density reefs risk reproductive isolation, highlighting the importance of maintaining colony density and spatial connectivity.
A video summary from our recent paper in @commsbio.nature.com. Here we provide the clearest indication yet of how close spawning corals need to be for successful reproduction. We used a manipulative experimental design and genetic paternity assignment approaches to match embryos to their parents.
