Discovery of symbiotic nitrogen fixation and chemoautotrophy in cold-water corals [PDF]
Cold-water corals (CWC) are widely distributed around the world forming extensive reefs at par with tropical coral reefs. They are hotspots of biodiversity and organic matter processing in the world’s deep oceans.

Diversity and Prevalence of Coral Diseases in the Nearshore Regions of the Northern South China Sea
This study presents the first systematic survey of coral disease diversity and prevalence in the nearshore regions of the northern South China Sea. Six common diseases and eight stress‐related phenomena were documented across seven sites, revealing distinct regional patterns and host‐specific susceptibilities.

Metabolome shift associated with thermal stress in coral holobionts [PDF]
SummaryCoral reef systems are under global threat due to warming and acidifying oceans1. Understanding the response of the coral holobiont to environmental change is crucial to aid conservation efforts. The most pressing problem is “coral bleaching”, usually precipitated by prolonged thermal stress that disrupts the algal symbiosis sustaining the ...

454-Pyrosequencing: A Molecular Battiscope for Freshwater Viral Ecology [PDF]
Viruses, the most abundant biological entities on the planet, are capable of infecting organisms from all three branches of life, although the majority infect bacteria where the greatest degree of cellular diversity lies.

In mutualistic symbioses, partner flexibility often broadens the host ecological niche. We found a stable association between littoral lichens and their algal symbionts along a natural salinity gradient, suggesting that the broad ecological niche can be facilitated by association with a single generalist symbiont.

Symbiosis-specific changes in dimethylsulphoniopropionate concentrations in Stylophora pistillata along a depth gradient [PDF]
Scleractinian corals are prolific producers of dimethylsulphoniopropionate (DMSP), but ecophysiological mechanisms influencing cellular concentrations are uncertain.

One-year survey of a single Micronesian reef reveals extraordinarily rich diversity of Symbiodinium types in soritid foraminifera [PDF]
Recent molecular studies of symbiotic dinoflagellates (genus Symbiodinium) from a wide array of invertebrate hosts have revealed exceptional fine-scale symbiont diversity whose distribution among hosts, regions and environments exhibits significant ...

ABSTRACT Coral reefs around the world are increasingly threatened by rising ocean temperatures, leading to more frequent mass bleaching events. However, some corals, typically found in more thermally variable environments, have demonstrated resilience to thermal stress.
