Cellular responses in sea fan corals: granular amoebocytes react to pathogen and climate stressors. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2008
BACKGROUND: Climate warming is causing environmental change making both marine and terrestrial organisms, and even humans, more susceptible to emerging diseases. Coral reefs are among the most impacted ecosystems by climate stress, and immunity of corals,

Coral Reef Protection May Help Avert Risks to People, Property, and Economic Activity Caused by Projected Reef Degradation

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Degradation of coral reefs over the past several decades has caused regional‐scale erosion of the shallow seafloor that serves as a protective barrier against coastal hazards along southeast Florida, USA. How future change in coral reefs may affect coastal flooding, however, has been less attended than other factors contributing to increasing ...

Hyperspectral Sensing of Disease Stress in the Caribbean Reef-Building Coral, Orbicella faveolata - Perspectives for the Field of Coral Disease Monitoring

PLoS ONE, 2013
The effectiveness of management plans developed for responding to coral disease outbreaks is limited due to the lack of rapid methods of disease diagnosis. In order to fulfill current management guidelines for responding to coral disease outbreaks, alternative methods that significantly reduce response time must be developed.

Bacterial diversity and White Plague Disease-associated community changes in the Caribbean coral Montastraea faveolata [PDF]

The ISME Journal, 2009
Abstract Increasing evidence confirms the crucial role bacteria and archaea play within the coral holobiont, that is, the coral host and its associated microbial community. The bacterial component constitutes a community of high diversity, which appears to change in structure in response to disease events. In this study, we highlight the

Coral diseases in aquaria and in nature [PDF]

, 2013
Many reef coral diseases have been described affecting corals in the wild, several of which have been associated with causal agents based on experimental inoculation and testing of Koch’s postulates.

Developing coral seeding devices and rapid deployment methods to scale up reef restoration

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 1, January 2026.
Current coral restoration methods are constrained by several factors, including low survival rates and high costs of coral production and deployment, making it difficult to address ecosystem‐wide coral declines. This study introduces a new two‐part coral seeding concept to efficiently settle, transport, and deploy coral spat.

Effectiveness and Cost‐Effectiveness of Ecosystem‐Based Disaster Risk Reduction Interventions in Low‐ and Middle‐Income Countries: A Rapid Systematic Review

Campbell Systematic Reviews, Volume 21, Issue 4, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Background: Climate change and widespread environmental degradation have increased the risk of natural hazards in recent decades. Hydrological, meteorological, and climatological disasters have become more frequent globally (Parry et al. 2007; Cavallo and Noy 2009; CRED 2022), affecting over 3.9 billion people since 2000 and causing losses ...

Transcriptional analyses provide new insight into the late-stage immune response of a diseased Caribbean coral [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2018
Increasing global temperatures due to climate change have resulted in respective increases in the severity and frequency of epizootics around the globe. Corals in particular have faced rapid declines due to disease outbreaks. Understanding immune responses and associated potential life-history trade-offs is therefore a priority.

Threshold Decline in Mesoamerican Coral Growth and Resiliency [PDF]

, 2008
Caribbean coral reefs have been massively altered in recent decades due to human impacts, resulting in a dramatic reduction of live coral cover but quantitative data before the 1970s have not been available to assess how these changes came about1,2,3. We

Why Homoscleromorph Sponges Have Ciliated Epithelia: Evidence for an Ancestral Role in Mucociliary Driven Particle Flux

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 344, Issue 8, Page 505-516, December 2025.
Epithelia are typically ciliated, except in sponges. Of all Porifera only Homoscleromorphs have motile cilia on their epithelia. Our data highlight the presence of cilia and mucociliary particle transport as a common feature of metazoa and a secondary loss in other sponge lineages.
