Split spawning realigns coral reproduction with optimal environmental windows

Corals usually undergo single mass spawning events, however, occasionally they split reproductive effort across two months. Here, Foster et al. use 10 years of data to determine the drivers and timing of split spawning, showing that these events realign spawning with optimal environmental conditions...
