Identification of Candidate Coral Pathogens on White Band Disease-Infected Staghorn Coral

PLOS ONE, 2015
Bacterial diseases affecting scleractinian corals pose an enormous threat to the health of coral reefs, yet we still have a limited understanding of the bacteria associated with coral diseases. White band disease is a bacterial disease that affects the two Caribbean acroporid corals, the staghorn coral Acropora cervicornis and the elkhorn coral A ...

The Measurement‐Impact Gap: A Bibliometric Diagnosis of Development Finance Institutions and SDG Research

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The role of Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is a topic of growing scholarly importance. While existing literature has mapped the thematic scope of this field, a critical diagnosis of its intellectual structure and inherent biases is missing.

Wearable Sensors Fabricated by 3D‐Printed Composite Hydrogel with 2D Fillers

Small Methods, EarlyView.
This review explores how 3D printing integrates 2D conductive fillers into hydrogel matrices to fabricate high‐performance flexible sensors. By tailoring microstructures and nanomaterial interactions, these devices achieve enhanced sensitivity, durability, and environmental adaptability for healthcare monitoring, human‐machine interfaces, and robotic ...

Pyrosequencing of the bacteria associated with Platygyra carnosus corals with skeletal growth anomalies reveals differences in bacterial community composition in apparently healthy and diseased tissues

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Corals are rapidly declining globally due to coral diseases. Skeletal growth anomalies (SGA) or coral tumors are a group of coral diseases that affect coral reefs worldwide, including Hong Kong waters in the Indo-Pacific region.

Reefs at Risk: A Map-Based Indicator of Threats to the Worlds Coral Reefs [PDF]

, 1998
This report presents the first-ever detailed, map-based assessment of potential threats to coral reef ecosystems around the world. "Reefs at Risk" draws on 14 data sets (including maps of land cover, ports, settle-ments, and shipping lanes), information ...

Are infestations of Cymomelanodactylus killing Acropora cytherea in the Chagos archipelago? [PDF]

, 2010
Associations between branching corals and infaunal crabs are well known, mostly due to the beneficial effects of Trapezia and Tetralia crabs in protecting host corals from crown-of-thorns starfish (e.g., Pratchett et al.

Half a century of echinoid population decline in the northern Gulf of Aqaba, Red Sea

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Multi‐decadal monitoring in the Gulf of Aqaba, northern Red Sea, reveals severe (>90%) declines of key echinoid grazers. These declines signify a collapse of crucial herbivory functions underpinning coral reef resilience. Results implicate accelerating anthropogenic stress as a principal driver, emphasizing the urgent need for sustained, species ...

Identification and prevalence of coral diseases on three Western Indian Ocean coral reefs

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2015
Coral diseases have caused a substantial decline in the biodiversity and abundance of reef-building corals. To date, more than 30 distinct diseases of scleractinian corals have been reported, which cause progressive tissue loss and/or affect coral growth, reproductive capacity, recruitment, species diversity and the abundance of reef-associated ...

Trematode infection buffers heat stress in blue mussels Mytilus edulis: The role of heat shock proteins

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
The study shows that parasite infection changes heat shock protein expression and can increase heat tolerance in blue mussels. By separating parasite and temperature effects, the results suggest that infection may improve survival during heat stress, highlighting important parasite–host interactions for climate change resilience. Abstract The influence

Trematode infestation in coral colonies at Poshitra Reef, Gulf of Kachchh Marine National Park, Gujarat, India

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2017
Some colonies of Porites sp. at Poshitra Reef were spotted with pink swollen nodules. These nodules are termed as a condition called “Porites trematodiasis” which is due to an infection of digenetic trematodes.
