Coral connectivity in Micronesia

Tue, 13 Apr 2010 20:43:58 -0500

Using microsatellite markers that we developed for Acropora millepora and Acropora hyacinthus, we are studying the patterns of genetic exchange between reefs in Micronesia, including Palau, Federated

Ecological genomics of reef corals

This research direction was spurred by our prior work on coral fluorescence. We are looking at the common Indo-Pacific coral Acropora millepora (which is an emerging coral genomics model) to address c

Oceanic fluorescence and luminescence

We are looking at molecular mechanisms and ecological roles of fluorescence and luminescence (see here for how they are different from each other) in the open ocean and the deep sea. Luminescence is w
