Oxygen Deprivation Implicated in Rapid Coral Mortality Under Acute Heating Events

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
When corals were exposed to rapid heating, oxygen around their tissues fell sharply before the tissues broke down and the corals died. Similar tissue breakdown occurred when corals were deprived of oxygen without heating, while stronger water flow delayed the damage by improving oxygen delivery.

Is a Commensal Here, a Pathogen There? Genotype Specific Responses by the Sea Anemone Nematostella vectensis to Vibrio Species

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 16, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Animals rely on diverse molecular mechanisms to maintain beneficial microbial associations while also defending against pathogens, yet the extent to which these responses vary among genotypes of a single species remains poorly understood.

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 ...

Cryptic Interactions in a Marine Microcosm: Sponges Shape the Microbiome of a Resident Goby

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 16, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Microbial symbionts influence ecological and evolutionary processes in their multicellular hosts; yet they remain poorly characterised in marine systems. Sponges host exceptionally diverse microbiomes, potentially providing rich microbial reservoirs for their residents.

Heat‐evolved coral photosymbionts exhibit dampened stress responses across distinct physiological contexts

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 1755-1773, August 2026.
Summary Experimental evolution under elevated temperatures has generated heat‐evolved (HE) strains of Symbiodiniaceae that enhance coral bleaching tolerance. However, the biomolecular mechanisms underlying this resilience remain poorly understood. We conducted a laboratory heat‐stress experiment and applied synchrotron‐based Fourier transform infrared (

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 ...

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

DataSheet_2_Sponges on shifting reefs: holobionts show similar molecular and physiological responses to coral versus macroalgal food.xlsx

IntroductionMany coral reefs witness an ongoing coral-to-algae phase shift. Corals and algae release large quantities of (in)organic nutrients daily, of which a large part is utilized by sponges.

Coral-associated microbial communities in reef-building corals of Ningaloo Reef Western Australia [PDF]

, 2011
Coral reefs are at risk and human-induced environmental stressors in synergism with microorganisms have been shown to be the key players for their deterioration.

Assessment of nitrogen cycle pathways associated with different major benthic organisms in response to environmental changes

, 2021
Nitrogen (N) cycling in coral reefs is of key importance for these oligotrophic ecosystems, but knowledge about its pathways is limited. While dinitrogen (N2) fixation is comparably well studied, the counteracting denitrification pathway is under ...
