Frequent disturbances and chronic pressures constrain stony coral recovery on Florida’s Coral Reef
Acute disturbances and chronic pressures have an important and increasing influence on the structure of coral reef communities. For the viability of...

Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) induced mass mortality at Arecibo, Puerto Rico
Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) is a highly contagious disease, causing mass coral mortalities in the Atlantic/Caribbean since 2014. In...

Chemical and genomic characterization of a potential probiotic treatment for stony coral tissue loss disease
Considered one of the most devastating coral disease outbreaks in history, stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) is currently spreading throughout...
-
Experimental transmission of Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease results in differential microbial responses within coral mucus and tissue
Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) is a widespread and deadly disease that affects nearly half of Caribbean coral species. To understand the...

1-(6-Methylsalicyloyl)glycerol from stony coral-derived Micromonospora sp.
A new natural product, 1-(6-methylsalicyloyl)glycerol ( 1 ) was isolated from the culture extract of the stony coral-derived Micromonospora sp. C029....

Opportunistic observations of reproductive mode, larval settlement and development of a New Zealand deep-sea stony coral, Goniocorella dumosa
Little is known of the reproductive traits and dispersal potential of many deep-sea corals, and in-aquarium spawning has been observed for very few...

Dining on corals: stable isotope evidence for close trophic connection between gall crabs (Cryptochiridae) and their stony coral hosts
The exact nature of the relationship between symbiont fauna and their hosts is often unclear, but knowing more about these intricate ecological...

Stony coral tissue loss disease decimated Caribbean coral populations and reshaped reef functionality
Diseases are major drivers of the deterioration of coral reefs and are linked to major declines in coral abundance, reef functionality, and...
-
A meta-analysis of the stony coral tissue loss disease microbiome finds key bacteria in unaffected and lesion tissue in diseased colonies
Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) has been causing significant whole colony mortality on reefs in Florida and the Caribbean. The cause of SCTLD...
-
Differing lesion recovery rates of two Caribbean stony coral species across a shallow water to mesophotic depth gradient suggest different sensitivity to repeated disturbance
Following major stress events such as storms, bleaching events, or disease outbreaks, surviving corals must regenerate tissue to recover. We aimed to...

Genomics of a novel ecological phase shift: the case of a ‘weedy’ Montipora coral in Ulithi, Micronesia
Local and global ecological stressors are leading to increased documentation of phase shifts in coral reefs from healthy stony corals to macrophytes....
-
Large-scale biogeographic patterns are reflected in the genetic structure of a broadcast spawning stony coral
Countries in the Western Indian Ocean (WIO) and along the Red Sea are particularly vulnerable to coral reef degradation, and understanding the degree...
-
The coral microbiome in sickness, in health and in a changing world
Stony corals, the engines and engineers of reef ecosystems, face unprecedented threats from anthropogenic environmental change. Corals are holobionts...
-
Linking bacterial tetrabromopyrrole biosynthesis to coral metamorphosis
An important factor dictating coral fitness is the quality of bacteria associated with corals and coral reefs. One way that bacteria benefit corals...
-
Functional gene composition and metabolic potential of deep-sea coral-associated microbial communities
Over the past decade, an abundance of 16S rRNA gene surveys have provided microbiologists with data regarding the prokaryotes present in a...
-
Long sediment-laden algal turf likely impairs coral recovery on Florida’s coral reefs
Coral reefs in the Florida Reef Tract have seen protracted loss of coral over the past several decades due to a variety of disturbances from marine...
-
Benthic exometabolites and their ecological significance on threatened Caribbean coral reefs
Benthic organisms are the architectural framework supporting coral reef ecosystems, but their community composition has recently shifted on many...
-
Filamentous virus-like particles are present in coral dinoflagellates across genera and ocean basins
Filamentous viruses are hypothesized to play a role in stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) through infection of the endosymbiotic dinoflagellates...
-
A coral-associated actinobacterium mitigates coral bleaching under heat stress
BackgroundThe positive effects of exposing corals to microorganisms have been reported though how the benefits are conferred are poorly understood....

Ecological consequences of Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease in the Turks and Caicos Islands
Coral reefs are suffering global declines due to climate change, natural disasters, pollution, and diseases. Coral disease events have increased in...
