Urbanization comprehensively impairs biological rhythms in coral holobionts [PDF]
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.

The ReFuGe 2020 Consortium—using “omics” approaches to explore the adaptability and resilience of coral holobionts to environmental change [PDF]
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 ...

Meta-transcriptomic comparison of two sponge holobionts feeding on coral- and macroalgal-dissolved organic matter [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2022 Background Sponge holobionts (i.e., the host and its associated microbiota) play a key role in the cycling of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in marine ecosystems.

Coral microbiome in estuary coral community of Pearl River Estuary: insights into variation in coral holobiont adaptability to low-salinity conditions [PDF]
BMC MicrobiologyBackground Low salinity is a crucial environmental stressor that affects estuarine coral ecosystems considerably. However, few studies have focused on the effects of low-salinity conditions on coral-associated microorganisms and the adaptability of coral

Holo-2bRAD: A Hologenomic Method for High-Resolution Analysis of Coral Microbiomes During Bleaching [PDF]
MicroorganismsCoral reefs are biodiversity hotspots increasingly threatened by climate-induced bleaching, yet profiling the coral holobiont—the host and its associated microbiota—remains technically challenging due to high host-DNA contamination (often >95%) and the ...

The eye’s coral reef: toward a planetary-health agenda for ocular-microbiome stewardship [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyCoral reefs and the human ocular surface represent ecologically distinct yet structurally comparable microbial ecosystems in which resilience depends on finely regulated host–microbe interactions.
