Assessing the potential for “assisted gene flow” to enhance heat tolerance of multiple coral genera over three key phenotypic traits

Mass coral bleaching and mortality events have increased in frequency over the last 30 years, with ocean temperatures projected to reach bleaching thresholds annually by 2050. Genetic interventions like assisted gene flow may speed up adaptation in reefs with less heat-tolerant corals by increasing...
