Coral diversity and disease in Mexico [PDF]
Field studies and empirical tests of the 'diversity-disease hypothesis' demonstrate the effects of species richness on disease transmission and severity in plant systems. Yet the converse, i.e. effects of disease on diversity, is rarely considered in either relatively well-studied plant systems or marine ecosystems.

Coral immunology and resistance to disease [PDF]
Scleractinian corals (phylum Cnidaria, class Anthozoa) have innate immunological responses against infections. Research has recently suggested that corals also possess an adaptive-like immunological repertoire that recognizes specific pathogens and allografts.

Macroalgae has no effect on the severity and dynamics of Caribbean yellow band disease. [PDF]
By removing herbivores and promoting increases in macroalgae, overfishing is thought to indirectly cause coral disease and mortality. We performed three field manipulations to test the general hypothesis that overfishing and the subsequent alteration of ...
