High relatedness in sexually produced restoration cohorts of the endangered elkhorn coral, <i>Acropora palmata</i>

2026-07-20

Abstract excerpt

Climate change is driving the decline of coral populations around the world such that many are unlikely to recover without human intervention. Assisted sexual reproduction is one intervention proposed to enhance genetic diversity and support population recovery, yet its genetic outcomes remain poorly quantified. We evaluated genome-wide relatedness and genetic diversity in 168 restoration genets of the endangered...
