Screening by coral green fluorescent protein (GFP)-like chromoproteins supports a role in photoprotection of zooxanthellae [PDF]

, 2013
Green fluorescent protein (GFP)-like pigments are responsible for the vivid colouration of many reef-building corals and have been proposed to act as photoprotectants.

Episodic heterogeneous decline and recovery of coral cover in the Indian Ocean [PDF]

, 2011
Long-term changes in coral cover for the Caribbean and the Pacific/Southeast Asia regions (PSEA) have proven extremely useful in assessing the main drivers, magnitude and timescales of change.

RNA-seq profiles of immune related genes in the staghorn coral Acropora cervicornis infected with white band disease. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Coral diseases are among the most serious threats to coral reefs worldwide, yet most coral diseases remain poorly understood. How the coral host responds to pathogen infection is an area where very little is known.

Vibrio zinc-metalloprotease causes photoinactivation of coral endosymbionts and coral tissue lesions.

PLoS ONE, 2009
BackgroundCoral diseases are emerging as a serious threat to coral reefs worldwide. Of nine coral infectious diseases, whose pathogens have been characterized, six are caused by agents from the family Vibrionacae, raising questions as to their origin and

Impact of anthropogenic disturbances on the diversity of shallow stony corals in the Veracruz Reef System National Park

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2011
Anthropogenic disturbances may affect the development and maintenance of coral reefs by promoting diseases and other syndromes. In turn, this may cause local decreases in coral species diversity.

Climate warming, marine protected areas and the ocean-scale integrity of coral reef ecosystems [PDF]

, 2008
Coral reefs have emerged as one of the ecosystems most vulnerable to climate variation and change. While the contribution of a warming climate to the loss of live coral cover has been well documented across large spatial and temporal scales, the ...

Susceptibility of coral-disease models [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2011
The scarcity of empirical data on marine diseases highlights the need for epidemiological models that explain patterns and processes. Yakob and Mumby (1) used a generic susceptible-infected model to describe the prevalence of white plague type II disease on a coral population ( Dichocoenia stokesii ).

Ciliate communities consistently associated with coral diseases

, 2015
Incidences of coral disease are increasing. Most studies which focus on diseases in these organisms routinely assess variations in bacterial associates. However, other microorganism groups such as viruses, fungi and protozoa are only recently starting to
