Open AccessUncovering the role of Symbiodiniaceae assemblage composition and abundance in coral bleaching response by minimizing sampling and evolutionary biases
Biodiversity and productivity of coral-reef ecosystems depend upon reef-building corals and their associations with endosymbiotic Symbiodiniaceae, which offer diverse functional capabilities to their hosts. The n...

Bleaching response of coral species in the context of assemblage response
Caribbean coral reefs are declining due to a mosaic of local and global stresses, including climate change-induced thermal stress. Species and assemblage responses differ due to factors that are not easily id...

Open AccessSkeletal light-scattering accelerates bleaching response in reef-building corals
At the forefront of ecosystems adversely affected by climate change, coral reefs are sensitive to anomalously high temperatures which disassociate (bleaching) photosynthetic symbionts (Symbiodinium) from coral ho...

Chapter
Diversity, Sources, and Detection of Human Bacterial Pathogens in the Marine Environment
Disease outbreaks in marine organisms appear to be escalating worldwide (Harvell et al., 1999, 2002) and a growing number of human bacterial infections have been associated with recreational and commercial use...

Scanning Low-Frequency Point Mutants in the Mitochondrial Genome Using Constant Denaturant Capillary Electrophoresis
The ability to measure rare mutational events in mitochondrial genomes from human blood and tissues without resorting to phenotypic selection is invaluable. It is essential for the study of the cause(s) of mitoch...
