Background Extensive research on the diversity and functional roles of the microorganisms associated with reef-building corals has been promoted as a consequence of the rapid global decline of coral reefs attributed to climate change.

Influences of salinity on the physiology and distribution of the Arctic coralline algae, Lithothamnion glaciale (Corallinales, Rhodophyta) [PDF]
In Greenland, free-living red coralline algae contribute to and dominate marine habitats along the coastline. Lithothamnion glaciale dominates coralline algae beds in many regions of the Arctic, but never in Godthåbsfjord, Greenland, where Clathromorphum

Viral and Bacterial Epibionts in Thermally-Stressed Corals
The periodic rise in seawater temperature is one of the main environmental determinants of coral bleaching. However, the direct incidence of these episodic thermal anomalies on coral-associated microbiota and their subsequent effects on coral health are ...

Short-Term Thermal Acclimation Modifies the Metabolic Condition of the Coral Holobiont
The nutritional symbiosis between coral hosts and photosynthetic dinoflagellates is fundamental to the functioning of coral reefs. Rising seawater temperatures destabilize this relationship, resulting in drastic declines in world-wide coral cover ...

Holo-2bRAD: A Hologenomic Method for High-Resolution Analysis of Coral Microbiomes During Bleaching
Coral reefs are biodiversity hotspots increasingly threatened by climate-induced bleaching, yet profiling the coral holobiont—the host and its associated microbiota—remains technically challenging due to high host-DNA contamination (often >95%) and the ...

Production of Dimethyl Sulphide (DMS) by Scleractinian Coral during Aerial Exposure – Effect of Temperature and Light [PDF]
In this thesis I investigated how rates of DMS production in three Scleractinian corals were affected by both aerial exposure and different light and temperature regimes. Coral specimens were acclimated over a 1 month period prior to data collection. Gas

The Intra-Dependence of Viruses and the Holobiont. [PDF]
Animals live in symbiosis with the microorganisms surrounding them. This symbiosis is necessary for animal health, as a symbiotic breakdown can lead to a disease state.
