Urbanization comprehensively impairs biological rhythms in coral holobionts. [PDF]
Glob Chang Biol, 2022 AbstractCoral 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.

Algal Symbionts Indicate Heatwave Vulnerability in Corals From Hotspots but Not From Thermal Refugia. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Reef‐building corals face continued declines due to climate change‐amplified marine heatwaves. In addition to affecting coral heat tolerance, corals' algal endosymbionts (family Symbiodiniaceae) can reflect their prior heatwave exposure, although understanding is often limited to heatwave‐induced shifts between symbiont genera.

Elaborating the molecular characteristics of corals’ different tolerance to environmental stress in Sanya Luhuitou based on multi-omics analysis [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyIntroductionThe resistance to environmental perturbations varies significantly among coral species. Corals are holobionts that are symbiotic with dinoflagellates and microbiomes, which makes their physiological responses to environmental stress complex ...

Resilience of cold-water coral holobionts to thermal stress. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2021 Cold-water corals are threatened by global warming, especially in the Mediterranean Sea where they live close to their upper known thermal limit (i.e. 13°C), yet their response to rising temperatures is not well known. Here, temperature effects onLophelia pertusaandMadrepora oculataholobionts (i.e.
