Baseline dynamics of Symbiodiniaceae genera and photochemical efficiency in corals from reefs with different thermal histories [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Ocean warming and marine heatwaves induced by climate change are impacting coral reefs globally, leading to coral bleaching and mortality. Yet, coral resistance and resilience to warming are not uniform across reef sites and corals can show inter- and ...

Royal Society Open Science, 2021 Recent research suggests that nitrogen (N) cycling microbes are important for coral holobiont functioning. In particular, coral holobionts may acquire bioavailable N via prokaryotic dinitrogen (N2) fixation or remove excess N via denitrification activity.

Lineage-specific symbionts mediate differential coral responses to thermal stress
Microbiome, 2023 Background Ocean warming is a leading cause of increasing episodes of coral bleaching, the dissociation between coral hosts and their dinoflagellate algal symbionts in the family Symbiodiniaceae.

Limited influence of seasonality on coral microbiomes and endosymbionts in an equatorial reef
Ecological Indicators, 2023 Coral-associated bacteria and Symbiodiniaceae are critical for maintaining the health of their coral hosts. Factors that are known to affect the coral microbiome include biogeography, seasonality, and environmental change, but longitudinal studies are ...

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014 Reef-building corals owe much of their success to a symbiosis with dinoflagellate microalgae in the genus Symbiodinium. In this association, the performance of each organism is tied to that of its partner, and together the partners form a holobiont that

Multi-omics determination of metabolome diversity in natural coral populations in the Pacific Ocean
Communications Earth & Environment, 2023 Coral reefs are considered one of the most emblematic ecosystems in our oceans, but their existence is increasingly threatened by climate change. In this study, natural populations of two reef-building coral genera, Pocillopora spp. and Porites spp., and

Urbanization comprehensively impairs biological rhythms in coral holobionts
Global Change Biology, 2022 Abstract Coral reefs are in global decline due to climate change and anthropogenic influences (Hughes et al., Conservation Biology , 27: 261–269, 2013). Near coastal cities or other densely populated areas, coral reefs face a range of additional challenges.

Beneath the surface: community assembly and functions of the coral skeleton microbiome
Microbiome, 2019 Coral microbial ecology is a burgeoning field, driven by the urgency of understanding coral health and slowing reef loss due to climate change. Coral resilience depends on its microbiota, and both the tissue and the underlying skeleton are home to a rich
