Illuminating Deep Reef Refugia: Horizontal and Vertical Genomic Connectivity of Seriatopora hystrix in the Ryukyu Islands, Japan

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 10, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Shallow coral reefs are under threat from anthropogenic stress and climate change. Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs), found in deeper, cooler and less impacted waters, are proposed as potential refugia or larval sources for shallow reefs. However, this hypothesis of such deep‐reef refugia is now controversial because their effectiveness is ...

The Evolution of Giant Clam Science: From Foundational Studies to Emerging Frontiers

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
This review synthesizes nearly two centuries of giant clam research, identifying dominant themes, knowledge gaps, and emerging opportunities. Ecology, physiology, aquaculture, genomics, and biomineralization dominate the field, whereas anatomy and biotechnology remain underexplored. Future progress requires stronger integration of genomics, physiology,

Diversity of Coral-Associated Fauna [PDF]

, 2020
Coral reefs are acknowledged for the beauty of their organisms, which has made this natural ecosystem one of the most appreciated on Earth. It is believed to be the richest in terms of species diversity and species interactions, at least in theory since ...

Acute Heat Priming Dampens Gene Expression Response to Thermal Stress in a Widespread Acropora Coral

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
(a) Experimental design. Corals from 10 genotypes were distributed across two experimental blocks, each containing nine flow‐through tanks. Fragments from five genotypes were placed in each tank. (b) Temperature profiles and sampling time points in the heat stress assay, demonstrating ramp up from control conditions (27ºC, MMM) to the preconditioning ...

Impacts of Nearby Algae on Recruitment Success and Early Microbiome Development of the Coral Acropora cytherea

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 1, January 2026.
Crustose coralline algae promote the survival and growth of coral recruits. However, these positive effects are not linked with the dynamics of the coral microbiome. Results reveal a transfer of opportunistic bacteria shared with all surrounding benthos, rather than a transfer of bacteria from specific algae to corals. ABSTRACT The persistence of coral

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 ...

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.

Coral microbiome composition along the northern Red Sea suggests high plasticity of bacterial and specificity of endosymbiotic dinoflagellate communities

Microbiome, 2020
Background The capacity of reef-building corals to tolerate (or adapt to) heat stress is a key factor determining their resilience to future climate change.
