Cover

Close up of an adult crown-of-thorns sea star, Acanthaster cf. solaris, on Porites coral on the Great Barrier Reef, Australia.
Issue Image

Corallivorous crown-of-thorns sea stars are among the most influential keystone predators in tropical coral reef ecosystems. Adult populations undergo extreme population size fluctuations or outbreaks and can decimate coral reefs. Whole-genome sequencing of parent-offspring trios in this species revealed unexpectedly high mutation rates and reduced effective population size, despite population abundance exceeding 20- 90 million individuals. Such fundamental knowledge advances our understanding of mutation rate evolution and how genetic diversity is maintained in large marine populations. See Popovic et al.
