Stony coral tissue loss disease: a review of emergence, impacts, etiology, diagnostics, and intervention

Frontiers in Marine Science
Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) is destructive and poses a significant threat to Caribbean coral reef ecosystems. Characterized by the acute loss of coral tissue, SCTLD has impacted over 22 stony coral species across the Caribbean region, leading

Identification of putative coral pathogens in endangered Caribbean staghorn coral using machine learning.

Environmental Microbiology
Coral diseases contribute to the rapid decline in coral reefs worldwide, and yet coral bacterial pathogens have proved difficult to identify because 16S rRNA gene surveys typically identify tens to hundreds of disease-associate bacteria as putative ...

Carbonate sedimentology: An evolved discipline

The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Although admired and examined since antiquity, carbonate sediment and rock research really began with Charles Darwin who, during a discovery phase, studied, documented and interpreted their nature in the mid‐19th century. The modern discipline, however, really began after World War II and evolved in two distinct phases.

White Band Disease (type I) of Endangered Caribbean Acroporid Corals is Caused by Pathogenic Bacteria [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2011
Diseases affecting coral reefs have increased exponentially over the last three decades and contributed to their decline, particularly in the Caribbean. In most cases, the responsible pathogens have not been isolated, often due to the difficulty in isolating and culturing marine bacteria.

Rapid assessment of stony coral richness and condition on Saba Bank, Netherlands Antilles. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
The benthic habitats of Saba Bank (17 degrees 25'N, 63 degrees 30'W) are at risk from maritime traffic, especially oil tankers (e.g., anchoring). To mitigate this risk, information is needed on the biodiversity and location of habitats to develop a zone ...

Agents of coral mortality on reef formations of the Colombian Pacific

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2010
The National Monitoring System for Coral Reefs of Colombia (SIMAC) monitors the impact of some of the most important agents of coral tissue loss (bleaching and/or disease) in the Colombian Pacific coral formations since 1998.

Facilitative interspecific interactions in marine vertebrates across scales: from individuals to ecosystems

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 519-538, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Facilitative interspecific interactions (FIIs) confer benefits to at least one participant without detriment to others. Although often less emphasised than antagonistic interactions in ecological studies, this review highlights the significant ecological role of FIIs across biological scales – from individual behaviours to population ...

Uprolides N, O and P from the Panamanian Octocoral Eunicea succinea. [PDF]

, 2016
Three new diterpenes, uprolide N (1), uprolide O (2), uprolide P (3) and a known one, dolabellane (4), were isolated from the CH₂Cl₂-MeOH extract of the gorgonian octocoral Eunicea succinea, collected from Bocas del Toro, on the Caribbean coast of Panama.

Survival, rarity, and extinction in tropical stony corals

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Many reef‐building tropical corals are becoming rare. We considered the meaning of rarity in corals and highlighted taxa that have reached low abundances in the last few decades. The difficulties of quantifying rarity in the marine environment arise from the sheer scale and 3‐dimensional nature of the biome and the inherent challenges therein ...

Leverage points for transformative change towards nature inclusivity on Bonaire and Aruba

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 181-196, January 2026.
Abstract Transformative change for a just and sustainable world is urgent to halt and reverse biodiversity loss and climate change. Identifying leverage points for transformative change is crucial but difficult due to the complexity and interconnectedness of systems, compounded by uncertainty and diverse stakeholder views.
