assessPool: a flexible pipeline for population genomic analyses of pooled sequencing data

Evan B. Freel, Emily Conklin, Mykle Hoban, Derek W. Kraft et autres

Example input datasets for assessPool. These inputs were generated from pooled ezRAD samples of Montipora capitata collected at 10 different islands (one island per pool) in the Hawaiian Archipelago. Each pool consists of 24-57 indivudual samples, pooled equimolarly. Raw MiSeq reads were …

Modern Coral Taxonomy Requires Reproducible Data Alongside Field Observations—Comments on Veron et al. (2025)

Peter F. Cowman, Tom C. L. Bridge, Tracy D. Ainsworth, Francesca Benzoni et autres

The recent review by Veron et al. (2025) posits that quantitative genomic evidence used to understand coral evolution should be secondary to species hypotheses derived from expert opinion based on field experience. The authors argue that morphological “biological entities” should take precedence …

Population Genetics to Population Genomics: Revisiting Multispecies Connectivity of the Hawaiian Archipelago

Evan B. Freel, Emily Conklin, Ingrid S. Knapp, Derek W. Kraft et autres

Understanding connectivity between populations is key to identifying hotspots of diversity, dispersal sinks and sources, and effective management units for natural resources. Multi-species connectivity seeks to overcome species-specific idiosyncrasies to identify shared patterns that are most critical to spatial management. The linear …

Global stock structure of the Silky shark (Carcharhinus falciformis, Carcharhinidae) assessed with high-throughput DNA sequencing

Derek W. Kraft, Emily Conklin, Evan B. Freel, Melanie Hutchinson et autres

Silky shark (Carcharhinus falciformis, Carcharhinidae) numbers have declined steeply in recent decades due to the fin fishery and bycatch in pelagic fisheries. Due to a lack of data on stock delineations, this species is currently managed in ocean-spanning jurisdictions defined by regional …

Impact of anthropogenic sounds on coral reef health and sessile invertebrates

Stephanie Bell, Aude Pacini, Zac H. Forsman, Ingrid S. Knapp et autres

The impact of anthropogenic sound on marine organisms is an emerging area of concern given the increasing levels human based oceanic activity. Effects of noise on marine mammals and to a lesser extent fish have been the focus of previous studies; however, …

Flow rates alter the outcome of coral bleaching and growth experiments

Miranda E. Lentz, Evan B. Freel, Zac H. Forsman, Daniel W. H. Schar et autres

It is important to consider flow rate explicitly in coral growth and bleaching studies across multiple species with differing life histories to guide coral conservation, management and captive culture. We quantified growth rates and coral bleaching responses to thermal stress (approx. 18 …

assessPool: a flexible pipeline for population genomic analyses of pooled sequencing data

Evan B. Freel, Emily Conklin, Derek W. Kraft, Jonathan Whitney et autres

Abstract Despite the dramatic decrease in high-throughput sequencing costs over time, sequencing the ideal number of individuals for population genetic inference remains prohibitively expensive. When research questions require only population-level resolution, pooling individual samples before sequencing (pool-seq) can substantially reduce costs while …

Genomic data reveals habitat partitioning in massive Porites on Guam, Micronesia

Karim D. Primov, David R. Burdick, Sarah Lemer, Zac H. Forsman et autres

Corals in marginal reef habitats generally exhibit less bleaching and associated mortality compared to nearby corals in more pristine reef environments. It is unclear, however, if these differences are due to environmental differences, including turbidity, or genomic differences between the coral hosts …
