This project aims to predict the future of coral reefs in the rapidly changing climate of the Anthropocene by integrating state-of-the-art population genomics with evolutionary and ecological modelling. The project expects to describe pathways of genetic and non-genetic adaptation; and the strength and direction of connectivity of warm vs cold adapted coral populations - united in an eco-evolutionary framework. Expected outcomes address critical gaps in data and methodology that currently hinder our ability to reliably model the evolutionary and ecological dynamics of one of the most biologically diverse, socially and economically valuable and climatically vulnerable ecosystems of our planet, contributing to their science-based management.

该项目旨在通过将最先进的人口基因组学与进化和生态建模相结合，预测珊瑚礁在人类世迅速变化的气候中的未来。该项目预计将描述遗传和非遗传适应的途径;以及温暖与寒冷适应珊瑚种群的连接性的强度和方向-在生态进化框架中团结起来。预期成果将解决数据和方法方面的关键差距，这些差距目前阻碍我们对地球上最具生物多样性、社会和经济价值以及气候脆弱的生态系统之一的进化和生态动态进行可靠建模的能力，从而促进其科学管理。
