Shifting in the Dominant Bacterial Group Endozoicomonas Is Independent of the Dissociation With Coral Symbiont Algae

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
The coral-associated Endozoicomonas are dominant bacteria in the coral holobiont. Their relative abundance usually decreases with heat-induced coral bleaching and is proposed to be positively correlated with Symbiodiniaceae abundance.

Environmental Factors Have a Stronger Influence on the Coral Holobiont in Comparison to Geographic Distance Along a 15,000‐km East‐to‐West Transect Through the Coral Triangle, Pacific and Indian Oceans

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To determine the factors that structure coral‐associated microbial communities (bacteria and Symbiodiniaceae). These microbial communities play critical roles in reef ecosystem function, yet the relative importance of environmental versus geographic drivers in structuring these communities across large spatial scales remains poorly ...

Host and Symbionts in Pocillopora damicornis Larvae Display Different Transcriptomic Responses to Ocean Acidification and Warming

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
As global ocean change progresses, reef-building corals and their early life history stages will rely on physiological plasticity to tolerate new environmental conditions.

A Zeaxanthin-Producing Bacterium Isolated from the Algal Phycosphere Protects Coral Endosymbionts from Environmental Stress

mBio, 2020
Reef-building corals form a complex consortium with photosynthetic algae in the family Symbiodiniaceae and bacteria, collectively termed the coral holobiont.

On the Fate of Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane (Avobenzone) in Coral Tissue and Its Effect on Coral Metabolome

Metabolites, 2023
The intensive use of sunscreen products has raised concerns regarding their environmental toxicity and the adverse impacts of ultraviolet (UV) filters on ecologically important coral communities.

δ13C as a Continuum: Tissue‐Based, Ontogenetic, and Interspecific Variation in Carbon Sourcing of a Photosymbiotic Bivalve (Subfamily Fraginae)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Relationship between Fragum unedo shell height (mm) and tissue δ13C. Points are color coded by shell size categories (small, medium, big) with symbol shapes representing the types of tissues (foot, mantle, or gill). ABSTRACT Photosymbiotic marine invertebrates derive carbon from both symbiont photosynthesis and heterotrophic feeding, yet the relative ...

Not All Children Are the Same: Differences in the Microbiome Assembly During Early Development of Seaweeds

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 9, September 2026.
Understanding how early microbiomes assemble is central to explaining the ecology and evolution of host–microbe interactions. Comparing three macroalgal species, we show that hosts differ markedly in how they retain parental bacteria and filter environmental taxa during their early development.

Changes in the Number of Symbionts and Symbiodinium Cell Pigmentation Modulate Differentially Coral Light Absorption and Photosynthetic Performance

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017
In order to understand the contribution of pigmented coral tissues to the extraordinary optical properties of the coral-symbiont-skeleton unit, we analyzed the associations between structural and optical traits for four coral species, which broadly ...

Assisted Gene Flow Yields Physiologically Robust Acropora palmata With Novel Allelic and Transcriptomic Profiles

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Assisted gene flow (AGF) is a conservation approach that facilitates the spread of alleles and may accelerate the recovery of genetically depauperate populations. The threatened Caribbean coral Acropora palmata is approaching regional extinction within the western Atlantic partly due to increasing water temperatures associated with global ...

Morphological and trophic coupling distinguishes coral clades along a light gradient

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Light availability is critical to the growth and survival of most scleractinian corals due to their endosymbiotic relationship with photosynthetic dinoflagellates. Natural light gradients are expected to be associated with shifts in coral physiology, morphology, and trophic strategy.
