- Summary
- The overarching aim of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Integrated Coral Reef Studies is to provide the scientific knowledge necessary for sustaining ecosystem goods and services of the world's coral reefs, which support the livelihoods and food security of millions of people in the tropics. The Centre will enhance Australia's global leadership in coral reef science through three ambitious research programs addressing the future of coral reefs and their ability to adapt to change. A key outcome of the research will be providing tangible benefits to all Australians by bui8lding bridges between the natural and social sciences, strengthening capacity, and informing and supporting transformative changes in coral reef governance and management.

Coral resilience and the optimal management of biodiversity
- Indicative Funding
- $35,760 over 3 years (administered by Curtin University of Technology)
- Summary
- One of the most pressing questions facing coral reef managers is "Will reef-building corals survive climate change?" To answer this, managers need to know how coral biodiversity responds to climatic disturbances; the potential for acclimation and adaptation; and the best ways to monitor, manage and restore biodiversity. This project will examine the resilience of coral biodiversity to disturbances and build on recently developed genomic resources to explore the genotypic traits that confer thermal tolerance. Working with government, regulatory sectors and an industry group, we aim to generate tangible outcomes and strategies to optimise the management of Australia?s coral biodiversity while engaging the public through museum-based outreach.

Inter-kingdom signalling in animal health and disease
- Indicative Funding
- $290,608 over 4 years
- Summary
- Animals evolved in a world dominated by bacteria, and it is now clear that intimately associated microbes play critical roles in the development, health and disease of all animals ? from corals to man. To date, animal-microbe interactions have been studied near exclusively in terms of how bacteria affect animals. This proposal seeks to address this bias ? we have discovered a novel mechanism by which the coral Acropora can control its associated bacteria, characterisation of which is central to the present proposal. Understanding how a simple animal manipulates its microbial associates will have major implications, not only for coral disease and resilience, but also for health and disease across the animal kingdom, from corals to man.

Australian Academy of Science - Boden Research Conferences
Boden Conference on the Origins and function of the animal metaorganism
- Indicative Funding
- $10,000 over 1 year
- Summary
- The primary goal of the workshop is to provide a broader understanding of the evolutionary forces that hold the coral symbiosis (ie the coral metaorganism which consists of the coral host, photosynthetic symbionts and a diverse microbial community that contributes to coral nutrition and stress tolerance) together. We seek new insight as to why some coral metaorganisms are more tolerant of environmental change than others so that we may better understand why reef systems collapse under stress.
