Transgenerational inheritance of shuffled symbiont communities in the coral Montipora digitata [PDF]

, 2019
Adult organisms may "prime" their offspring for environmental change through a number of genetic and non-genetic mechanisms, termed parental effects. Some coral species may shuffle the proportions of Symbiodiniaceae within their endosymbiotic communities,

Differences in Molecular Responses to a Thermally Variable Preconditioning Treatment for Two Caribbean Coral Species

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Coral reefs around the world are increasingly threatened by rising ocean temperatures, leading to more frequent mass bleaching events. However, some corals, typically found in more thermally variable environments, have demonstrated resilience to thermal stress.

Reef Carbonate Budgets & Symbiodiniaceae Diversity in the Arabian Gulf, Western Indian Ocean & Central Indo-Pacific [PDF]

, 2020
Coral reefs are the result of long-term net calcium carbonate (CaCO3) accretion and the balance between carbonate production and erosion, referred to as the carbonate budget. Coral calcification is influenced by environmental conditions (e.g. temperature,

Latitudinal Variation in the Molecular Diversity and Community Composition of Symbiodiniaceae in Coral From the South China Sea

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Coral reefs are continuing to decline worldwide due to anthropogenic climate change. The study of the molecular diversity and biogeographical patterns of Symbiodiniaceae, is essential to understand the adaptive potential and resilience of coral–algal ...

Seascape Genomics Reveal Contrasting Population Structure in Sympatric and Congeneric Corals Across Thermal Clines

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Understanding local adaptation in species along environmental gradients provides insight for how species can and will adapt to increasing climate‐driven marine heatwaves. Here, the population structure of two closely related Pocillopora corals was evaluated across environmentally heterogeneous reef gradients to understand spatially ...

Competitive traits of coral symbionts may alter the structure and function of the microbiome [PDF]

, 2020
In the face of global warming and unprecedented coral bleaching, a new avenue of research is focused on relatively rare algal symbionts and their ability to confer thermal tolerance to their host by association. Yet, thermal tolerance is just one of many

Heterotrophy of particulate organic matter subsidies contributes to divergent bleaching responses in tropical Scleractinian corals

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 7, Page 1802-1816, July 2025.
Abstract Heterotrophic feeding on plankton and particulate organic matter (POM) by tropical Scleractinian corals is known to aid in the resistance and recovery from thermally induced bleaching. However, the relative importance of heterotrophy in promoting bleaching resistance and recovery is likely to vary based on ecological context and the severity ...

Epigenetic Mechanisms as Drivers of Environmental Responses in Stony Corals [PDF]

, 2021
The current pace of anthropogenic global change is imposing unprecedented conditions to biological systems. Coral reef ecosystems are particularly sensitive to the rapid increase in thermal anomalies and the changes in water chemistry caused by global ...

Bacterial Dynamics in Newly Settled Acropora kenti: Insights From Inoculations With Individual Probiotic Candidates

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2025.
Newly settled Acropora kenti corals were inoculated with native, individual probiotic candidates pre‐screened for putatively beneficial traits. Several bacterial strains persisted in the coral microbiome and induced structural changes still measurable five days after the final inoculation, with coral associated microbial aggregates (CAMAs) formed ...

Environmental Drivers of Genetic Divergence in Two Corals From the Florida Keys

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 18, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Increasingly frequent marine heatwaves devastate coral reefs around the world, so there is great interest in finding warm‐adapted coral populations that could be used as sources for assisted gene flow and restoration. Here, we evaluated the relative power of various environmental factors to explain coral genetic variation, suggestive of ...
