The Draft Genome of an Octocoral, Dendronephthya gigantea [PDF]

, 2019
Coral reefs composed of stony corals are threatened by global marine environmental changes. However, soft coral communities of octocorallian species, appear more resilient.

Impacts of Nearby Algae on Recruitment Success and Early Microbiome Development of the Coral Acropora cytherea

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 1, January 2026.
Crustose coralline algae promote the survival and growth of coral recruits. However, these positive effects are not linked with the dynamics of the coral microbiome. Results reveal a transfer of opportunistic bacteria shared with all surrounding benthos, rather than a transfer of bacteria from specific algae to corals. ABSTRACT The persistence of coral

Coral Venom and Toxins as Protection Against Crown‐of‐Thorns Sea Star Attack

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Crown‐of‐thorns sea star (CoTS) outbreaks are a main cause of hard coral cover decline across the Indo‐Pacific, posing a major threat to the resilience of coral reefs. However, the drivers underlying CoTS feeding on preferred (e.g., Acropora species) versus non‐preferred (e.g., Porites species) are poorly understood. We hypothesised that coral

Decline of a distinct coral reef holobiont community under ocean acidification

Microbiome
Background Microbes play vital roles across coral reefs both in the environment and inside and upon macrobes (holobionts), where they support critical functions such as nutrition and immune system modulation. These roles highlight the potential ecosystem-

The ReFuGe 2020 consortium - Using ‘omics’ approaches to explore the adaptability and resilience of coral holobionts to environmental change

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2015
Human-induced environmental changes have been linked directly with loss of biodiversity. Coral reefs, which have been severely impacted by anthropogenic activities over the last few decades, exemplify this global problem and provide an opportunity to ...

Microbiome structure of the fungid coral Ctenactis echinataaligns with environmental differences [PDF]

, 2015
The significance of bacteria for eukaryotic functioning is increasingly recognized. Coral reef ecosystems critically rely on the relationship between coral hosts and their intracellular photosynthetic dinoflagellates, but the role of the associated ...

Mereological Perspectivism in Philosophy of Biology

Philosophy Compass, Volume 21, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper presents the philosophical implications of the position that we call mereological perspectivism. Mereological perspectivism asserts that determining whether a composite biological object constitutes a single unit (an individual) necessarily depends on the selection of privileged parts of the composite.

The Coral Holobiont: A Brief Overview of Corals and Their Microbiome

EDIS
Caribbean and tropical western Atlantic reefs have declined drastically since the 1970s. In some locales like the Florida Keys, the decline of branching corals approached 98%. These declines are widely attributed to recurring stressors such as high ocean temperatures and disease.

Successive responses of three coral holobiont components (coral hosts, symbiotic algae, and bacteria) to daily temperature fluctuations

Ecological Indicators
Corals and their associated microbiota form a “holobiont,” which includes symbiotic algae and other associated microbiota dominated by bacteria. The composition of holobiont is influenced by various environmental factors, such as increasing sea water ...

Oxygen metabolic responses of three species of large benthic foraminifers with algal symbionts to temperature stress.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Water temperature affects the physiology of large benthic foraminifers (LBFs) with algal symbionts dwelling in coral reef environments. However, the detailed physiological responses of LBF holobionts to temperature ranges occurring in their habitats are ...
