Simulations reveal hybridization in Caribbean <i>Acropora</i> restoration poses low risk of genetic swamping but limited potential for adaptive introgression

2026-02-28

Abstract excerpt

Severe global declines in coral populations have driven growing demand for human intervention and restoration. One goal of restoration is to repopulate reef ecosystems through outplanting, which requires detailed understanding of target systems. However, long term ecological and reproductive data from interventions remain scarce. An exception to this are the critically endangered Caribbean corals, Acropora palmat...
