Timing and Potential Drivers of Symbiont Selection in the Early Life Stages of the Massive Starlet Coral Siderastrea siderea [PDF]
, 2019 The ability of corals to build reefs can be attributed to their relationship with single-celled algae of the familySymbiodiniaceae.Through the process of photosynthesis, these algae can provide their coral hosts with over 90% of their daily energy ...

Genomic signatures suggesting adaptation to ocean acidification in a coral holobiont from volcanic CO2 seeps [PDF]
, 2023 Ocean acidification, caused by anthropogenic CO 2 emissions, is predicted to have major consequences for reef-building corals, jeopardizing the scaffolding of the most biodiverse marine habitats.

Temporal variation in the microbiome of Acropora coral species does not reflect seasonality [PDF]
, 2019 The coral microbiome is known to fluctuate in response to environmental variation and has been suggested to vary seasonally. However, most studies to date, particularly studies on bacterial communities, have examined temporal variation over a time frame ...

Manipulation of coral photosymbionts for enhancing resilience to environmental change [PDF]
, 2019 Ocean warming is occurring at an unprecedented rate. Only a small increase in seawater temperature can disrupt the symbiotic relationship between corals and their photosynthetic algae causing coral bleaching.

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 ...

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

Genomic conservation and putative downstream functionality of the phosphatidylinositol signalling pathway in the cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis. [PDF]
The mutualistic cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis underpins the evolutionary success of stony corals and the persistence of coral reefs. However, a molecular understanding of the signalling events that lead to the successful establishment and ...
