Potential Habitat of Acropora spp. on Reefs of Florida, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2015
Elkhorn and staghorn corals (Acropora palmata, Acropora cervicornis) were listed in 2006 as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. The goal of this study was to create model potential-habitat maps for A. palmata and A.

Coral Gardens Reef, Belize: An Acropora spp. refugium under threat in a warming world

PLoS ONE, 2023
Live coral cover has declined precipitously on Caribbean reefs in recent decades. Acropora cervicornis coral has been particularly decimated, and few Western Atlantic Acropora spp. refugia remain.

Natural disease resistance in threatened staghorn corals. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2008
Disease epidemics have caused extensive damage to tropical coral reefs and to the reef-building corals themselves, yet nothing is known about the abilities of the coral host to resist disease infection.

Changing patterns of microhabitat utilization by the threespot damselfish, Stegastes planifrons, on Caribbean reefs. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
The threespot damselfish, Stegastes planifrons (Cuvier), is important in mediating interactions among corals, algae, and herbivores on Caribbean coral reefs. The preferred microhabitat of S. planifrons is thickets of the branching staghorn coral Acropora

First record of the fireworm Hermodice carunculata preying on colonies of the threatened staghorn coral Acropora Cervicornis in the southeastern outplanting sites of the Dominican Republic

Novitates Caribaea, 2017
Several fireworms Hermodice carunculata (Pallas, 1766) were observed feeding on coral colonies or transplanted fragments of the threatened staghorn coral Acropora cervicornis (Lamarck, 1816), in outplanting sites at Bayahibe, Dominican Republic.

Tissue mortality by Caribbean ciliate infection and white band disease in three reef-building coral species [PDF]

PeerJ, 2016
Caribbean ciliate infection (CCI) and white band disease (WBD) are diseases that affect a multitude of coral hosts and are associated with rapid rates of tissue losses, thus contributing to declining coral cover in Caribbean reefs.

RNA-seq profiles of immune related genes in the staghorn coral Acropora cervicornis infected with white band disease. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Coral diseases are among the most serious threats to coral reefs worldwide, yet most coral diseases remain poorly understood. How the coral host responds to pathogen infection is an area where very little is known.
