Genomic variation associated with endosymbiont shuffling and areal growth in the endangered elkhorn coral, Acropora palmata
Biodiversity losses continue to outpace traditional management, underscoring the need to understand adaptive capacity and the potential for interventions to increase fitness under climate change. We undertook a genome-wide association study on 156 Acropora palmata genets to investigate the genomic basis of areal growth, endosymbiont association, and thermal tolerance. Seven peaks on chromosomes…
