Conservation: Corals in an extinction vortex.

Abstract excerpt

Population declines threaten many marine ecosystems, but their genetic consequences remain largely unknown. A new study shows how a Caribbean coral finds itself trapped in an extinction vortex and vulnerable to the interplay of climate change, habitat degradation, small population size, low genetic diversity and reduced dispersal.
