Frontiers in Marine ScienceIntroductionMany 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.

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

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.Assessing the microbiome of captive Pocillopora verrucosa corals showed that populations of proposed microbial symbiont Endozoicomonas could only be maintained when corals were co‐cultured with Chromis viridis damselfish and supplied live feeds.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 As seawater temperature rises, repeated thermal bleaching events have negatively affected the reefs of the Andaman Sea for over decades. Studies on the coral-associated microbial diversity of prokaryotes and microbial eukaryotes (microbiome) in healthy ...

Influences of salinity on the physiology and distribution of the Arctic coralline algae, Lithothamnion glaciale (Corallinales, Rhodophyta) [PDF]
, 2018 In Greenland, free-living red coralline algae contribute to and dominate marine habitats along the coastline. Lithothamnion glaciale dominates coralline algae beds in many regions of the Arctic, but never in Godthåbsfjord, Greenland, where Clathromorphum

Survival, rarity, and extinction in tropical stony corals
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract Many reef‐building tropical corals are becoming rare. We considered the meaning of rarity in corals and highlighted taxa that have reached low abundances in the last few decades. The difficulties of quantifying rarity in the marine environment arise from the sheer scale and 3‐dimensional nature of the biome and the inherent challenges therein ...

The role of floridoside in osmoadaptation of coral-associated algal endosymbionts to high-salinity conditions. [PDF]
, 2017 The endosymbiosis between Symbiodinium dinoflagellates and stony corals provides the foundation of coral reef ecosystems. The survival of these ecosystems is under threat at a global scale, and better knowledge is needed to conceive strategies for ...

Rapid Evolution in a Coral Population Following a Mass Mortality Event
Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Globally, corals face an increased frequency of mass mortality events (MMEs) as populations experience repeated marine heatwaves which disrupt their obligate algal symbiosis. Despite greater occurrences of MMEs, the relative roles of the environment, host, and symbiont genetic variation in survival, subsequent recovery, and carry‐over effects ...

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Global warming and rising sea temperatures are pushing many reef‐building coral species towards extinction. As thermal tolerance in corals is partially heritable, identifying genes under thermal selection is critical for targeted biodiversity management.

Decline of a distinct coral reef holobiont community under ocean acidification
MicrobiomeBackground 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-
