Species and population genomic differentiation in Pocillopora corals (Cnidaria, Hexacorallia)
Correctly delimiting species and populations is a prerequisite for studies of connectivity, adaptation and conservation. Genomic data are particularly useful to test species differentiation for organisms with ...

Open AccessFrontloading of stress response genes enhances robustness to environmental change in chimeric corals
Chimeras are genetically mixed entities resulting from the fusion of two or more conspecifics. This phenomenon is widely distributed in nature and documented in a variety of animal and plant phyla. In corals, ...

Open AccessEarly life microbial exposures shape the Crassostrea gigas immune system for lifelong and intergenerational disease protection
The interaction of organisms with their surrounding microbial communities influences many biological processes, a notable example of which is the sha** of the immune system in early life. In the Pacific oyst...

Open AccessNear-future ocean warming and acidification alter foraging behaviour, locomotion, and metabolic rate in a keystone marine mollusc
Environmentally-induced changes in fitness are mediated by direct effects on physiology and behaviour, which are tightly linked. We investigated how predicted ocean warming (OW) and acidification (OA) affect k...

Open AccessDifferential basal expression of immune genes confers Crassostrea gigas resistance to Pacific oyster mortality syndrome
As a major threat to the oyster industry, Pacific Oyster Mortality Syndrome (POMS) is a polymicrobial disease affecting the main oyster species farmed across the world. POMS affects oyster juveniles and became...

Open AccessColour plasticity in the shells and pearls of animal graft model Pinctada margaritifera assessed by HSV colour quantification
The bivalve Pinctada margaritifera has the capacity to produce the most varied and colourful pearls in the world. Colour expression in the inner shell is under combined genetic and environmental control and is co...

Open AccessImmune-suppression by OsHV-1 viral infection causes fatal bacteraemia in Pacific oysters
Infectious diseases are mostly explored using reductionist approaches despite repeated evidence showing them to be strongly influenced by numerous interacting host and environmental factors. Many diseases with...

Open AccessThermal regime and host clade, rather than geography, drive Symbiodinium and bacterial assemblages in the scleractinian coral Pocillopora damicornis sensu lato
Although the term holobiont has been popularized in corals with the advent of the hologenome theory of evolution, the underlying concepts are still a matter of debate. Indeed, the relative contribution of host...

Rapid adaptive responses to climate change in corals
Pivotal to projecting the fate of coral reefs is the capacity of reef-building corals to acclimatize and adapt to climate change. Transgenerational plasticity may enable some marine organisms to acclimatize ov...

Genetic diversity, clonality and connectivity in the scleractinian coral Pocillopora damicornis: a multi-scale analysis in an insular, fragmented reef system
Clonality and genetic structure of the coral Pocillopora damicornis sensu lato were assessed using five microsatellites in 12 populations from four islands of the Society Archipelago (French Polynesia) sampled i...

Response of coral assemblages to thermal stress: are bleaching intensity and spatial patterns consistent between events?
Mass bleaching events resulting in coral mortality are among the greatest threats to coral reefs, and are projected to increase in frequency and intensity with global warming. Achieving a better understanding ...

Open AccessCoral bleaching under thermal stress: putative involvement of host/symbiont recognition mechanisms
Coral bleaching can be defined as the loss of symbiotic zooxanthellae and/or their photosynthetic pigments from their cnidarian host. This major disturbance of reef ecosystems is principally induced by increas...
