Defining Coral Bleaching as a Microbial Dysbiosis within the Coral Holobiont [PDF]

Microorganisms, 2020
Coral microbiomes are critical to holobiont health and functioning, but the stability of host–microbial interactions is fragile, easily shifting from eubiosis to dysbiosis.

Single-polyp metabolomics reveals biochemical structuring of the coral holobiont at multiple scales [PDF]

Communications Biology, 2023
All biology happens in space, and spatial structuring plays an important role in mediating biological processes at all scales from cells to ecosystems. However, the metabolomic structuring of the coral holobiont has yet to be fully explored.

Destabilization of mutualistic interactions shapes the early heat stress response of the coral holobiont [PDF]

Microbiome
Background The stability of the symbiotic relationship between coral and their dinoflagellate algae (Symbiodiniaceae) is disrupted by ocean warming. Although the coral thermal response depends on the complex interactions between host, Symbiodiniaceae and

Stress‐Resistant Symbiodiniaceae and Diverse Bacterial Communities Promote Coral Persistence in Variable, Multi‐Stressor Environments [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Coral holobionts maintain complex symbioses, which can be influenced by global and local stressors. However, the role of coral‐associated bacterial and algal (Symbiodiniaceae) communities in facilitating coral persistence in variable and extreme, multi ...

Advancing Symbiodiniaceae Functional Ecology Through a Trait-Based Framework. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Symbiodiniaceae dinoflagellates are central to coral reef functioning, supporting primary production, nutrient cycling, calcification, and influencing coral thermal tolerance through intracellular symbiosis. Despite their ecological importance, these symbionts have not yet been incorporated into a formal functional ecology framework due to challenges ...

Seasonal Physiological Strategies Reveal Contrasting Host-Symbiont Dynamics Among Dominant Indo-Pacific Reef-Building Corals. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Seasonal changes in coral physiology reveal distinct acclimatization strategies among reef‐building corals. Symbiotic generalists exhibit large seasonal fluctuations driven primarily by symbiont dynamics, whereas symbiotic specialists maintain stable symbiont physiology through stronger host regulation.

Unveiling the hidden viral biodiversity and potential ecological functions with global coral holobiont virome database [PDF]

npj Biofilms and Microbiomes
Viruses are integral yet underexplored components of coral holobionts, with their roles in shaping microbial diversity, modulating symbioses, and contributing to Darwin’s paradox remaining largely unresolved.
