Survival in a Sea of Gradients: Bacterial and Archaeal Foraging in a Heterogeneous Ocean
Marine microbial ecology is usually investigated over large spatial and temporal scales, under the assumption that planktonic organisms and solutes...

Physical contact stress can trigger larval release in the brooding coral Siderastrea stellata
Abiotic and biotic stressors are known to trigger reproductive activities in several aquatic organisms. In reef environments, physical contact as a...

Eukaryotic plankton communities across reef environments in Bocas del Toro Archipelago, Panamá
Variation in light and temperature can influence the genetic diversity and structure of marine plankton communities. While open-ocean plankton...

Phylogenomic analysis of the Ponticus clade: strains isolated from the spotted rose snapper (Lutjanus guttatus)
The family Vibrionaceae is classified into many clades based on their phylogenetic relationships. The Ponticus clade is one of its clades and...

Effects of material type and surface roughness of settlement tiles on macroalgal colonisation and early coral recruitment success
Sexual propagation of corals is a promising strategy for coral restoration, but one of the main challenges is the high mortality of coral spat due to...

The giant clam Tridacna squamosa quickly regenerates iridocytes and restores symbiont quantity and phototrophic potential to above-control levels in the outer mantle after darkness-induced bleaching
Giant clams are ecologically and economically relevant reef inhabitants that host photosynthetic dinoflagellates inside tubules located mainly in...
