[Coral-List] New research from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies

[Naum, Catherine]

Dear Coral-Listers:
I would like to draw your attention to two new joint research papers published this week: 

(1) In the journal, Molecular Ecology Resources:
"Finding Nemo’s Genes: A chromosome‐scale reference assembly of the genome of the orange clownfish (Amphiprion percula)."
Full paper: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/1755-0998.12939
Media release: https://www.coralcoe.org.au/media-releases/finding-nemos-genes
Excerpt: An international team of researchers has mapped Nemo’s genome, providing the research community with an invaluable resource to decode the response of fish to environmental changes, 
including climate change.

(2) In the journal, Biological Conservation:
"Research advances and gaps in marine planning: towards a global database in systematic conservation planning."
Full paper: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biocon.2018.06.027
Media release: https://www.coralcoe.org.au/media-releases/new-database-to-better-guide-global-conservation-efforts
Excerpt: James Cook University researchers say a new global database will lead to better marine parks by helping to bridge critical gaps in marine conservation planning.


Kind Regards,
Catherine
