Fish predation on corals promotes the dispersal of coral symbionts [PDF]
Animal Microbiome, 2020 AbstractPredators drive top-down effects that shape prey communities, but the role of predators in dispersing prey microbiomes is rarely examined. We tested whether coral-eating (corallivorous) fish disperse the single-celled dinoflagellate symbionts (family Symbiodiniaceae) of their prey.

Stable Sr isotope (88Sr/86Sr) fractionation in calcite precious corals
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Stable isotope ratios of Sr (88Sr/86Sr) are a novel indicator for identifying terrestrial and oceanic Sr cycling and biological processes. Here we evaluate the temperature dependence of stable Sr isotope ratios (δ88Sr) in the calcite skeletons of ...

Current Biology, 2008 Coral reefs are the most diverse of marine ecosystems, with hundreds of thousands if not millions of species associated with reefs. For this reason they are often called the rain forests of the sea, and as such they have been of interest not only to marine scientists but also to ecologists and evolutionary biologists broadly.

Population genetics of the coral Acropora millepora: Toward genomic prediction of bleaching
Science, 2020 Conservation help from genomics Corals worldwide are under threat from rising sea temperatures and pollution. One response to heat stress is coral bleaching—the loss of photosynthetic endosymbionts that provide energy for the coral. Fuller et al. present

Diminutive Colon polyp Coexisting with a Large Lipoma: An Endoscopic 'Rarity'
Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology, 2004 Lipomas are the most common nonepithelial tumours of the gastrointestinal tract. In the colon, however, lipomas are uncommon. Herein we report the case of a patient who had a large colonic lipoma with an overlying bleeding diminutive colon polyp that ...

Coral Reef Recovery in the Mexican Caribbean after 2005 Mass Coral Mortality—Potential Drivers
Diversity, 2020 In 2005, an extreme heatwave hit the Wider Caribbean, followed by 13 hurricanes (including hurricanes Emily and Wilma) that caused significant loss in hard coral cover. However, the drivers of the potential recovery are yet to be fully understood.
