Weak Structure and Environment‐Associated Loci Across a Eutrophication Gradient in a Resilient Coral Species

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Marine species often have large effective population sizes and high connectivity that reduce drift and preserve diversity, but how these features shape adaptation to anthropogenic change remains unclear; Oulastrea crispata, a stress‐tolerant Indo‐Pacific coral, is an ideal test case along a strong eutrophication gradient. Using RADseq on 90 individuals

Biogeographical Patterns of Coral‐Associated Symbiodiniaceae Across Thermal Regimes Including Trace Molecular Detection of Cladocopium thermophilum (C3‐Gulf) in the Seychelles

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Reef‐building corals rely on symbiotic dinoflagellates (Symbiodiniaceae) for survival; however, the distribution of thermotolerant symbionts across environmental gradients remains poorly understood. Using ITS2 metabarcoding across three bioregions spanning extreme to moderate thermal regimes (Bahrain, Seychelles, and Indonesia), we show that ...

Screening by coral green fluorescent protein (GFP)-like chromoproteins supports a role in photoprotection of zooxanthellae [PDF]

, 2013
Green fluorescent protein (GFP)-like pigments are responsible for the vivid colouration of many reef-building corals and have been proposed to act as photoprotectants.

Coral lipid bodies as the relay center interconnecting diel-dependent lipidomic changes in different cellular compartments

Scientific Reports, 2017
Lipid bodies (LBs) in the coral gastrodermal tissues are key organelles in the regulation of endosymbiosis and exhibit a diel rhythmicity. Using the scleractinian Euphyllia glabrescens collected across the diel cycle, we observed temporally dynamic lipid

Localization and symbiotic status of probiotics in the coral holobiont

mSystems
ABSTRACT Corals establish symbiotic relationships with microorganisms, especially endosymbiotic photosynthetic algae. Although other microbes have been commonly detected in coral tissues, their identity and beneficial functions for their host are unclear. Here, we confirm the beneficial outcomes of the

Episodic heterogeneous decline and recovery of coral cover in the Indian Ocean [PDF]

, 2011
Long-term changes in coral cover for the Caribbean and the Pacific/Southeast Asia regions (PSEA) have proven extremely useful in assessing the main drivers, magnitude and timescales of change.

Benthic contributions to the chemical seascape: Insights from Mediterranean underwater caves

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Chemical mediation plays a major role in the functioning of marine ecosystems, yet most of the molecules sustaining species interactions remain largely unknown. As an initial step toward clarifying these processes, this study investigates how benthic biodiversity shapes the chemical composition of seawater, using underwater caves as model ...

Transcriptomic Resilience of a Coral Holobiont to Low pH [PDF]

, 2017
Abstract Ocean acidification is considered as one of the major threats for coral reefs at a global scale. Marine calcifying organisms, including stony corals, are expected to be the most affected by the predicted decrease of the surface water pH at the end of the century.

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-

Red, green, blue color indices as proxy for Symbiodiniaceae cell density and chlorophyll content during coral bleaching

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Coral bleaching, the breakdown of the symbiosis between the coral host and endosymbiotic microalgae, is the main cause of widespread coral reef degradation. Current visual assessment methods for coral health, including color reference cards, are constrained by subjective human color perception and limited resolution.
