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 ...

Seasonal Physiological Strategies Reveal Contrasting Host–Symbiont Dynamics Among Dominant Indo‐Pacific Reef‐Building Corals

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Seasonal changes in coral physiology reveal distinct acclimatization strategies among reef‐building corals. Symbiotic generalists exhibit large seasonal fluctuations driven primarily by symbiont dynamics, whereas symbiotic specialists maintain stable symbiont physiology through stronger host regulation.

Even a slight temperature increase triggers the inhibition of Symbiodiniaceae cell division and promotes cell expulsion in the coral Acropora selago

Phycological Research, Volume 74, Issue 3, Page 224-233, July 2026.
SUMMARY Coral bleaching, characterized by the loss of Symbiodiniaceae symbionts from corals, is promoted both by acute high‐temperature events and by prolonged moderate thermal stress. However, the mechanisms responsible for decreases in Symbiodiniaceae cell densities within corals remain unclear. Symbiodiniaceae cells within corals proliferate through

Stress‐Resistant Symbiodiniaceae and Diverse Bacterial Communities Promote Coral Persistence in Variable, Multi‐Stressor Environments

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Corals living in multi‐stressor bays in Curaçao maintain stress‐tolerant symbiotic algae and specialized bacterial communities in comparison to those in nearby reefs. These findings provide insight into how Caribbean coral holobionts persist in extreme and marginal conditions and may respond under future environmental conditions.

Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Symbiont Colonization and Loss During Bleaching in the Model Sea Anemone Aiptasia

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
The ability of symbionts to recolonize their hosts after a period of dysbiosis is essential to maintain a resilient partnership. Many cnidarians rely on photosynthate provided from a large algal symbiont population.

The Evolution of Giant Clam Science: From Foundational Studies to Emerging Frontiers

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
This review synthesizes nearly two centuries of giant clam research, identifying dominant themes, knowledge gaps, and emerging opportunities. Ecology, physiology, aquaculture, genomics, and biomineralization dominate the field, whereas anatomy and biotechnology remain underexplored. Future progress requires stronger integration of genomics, physiology,

Searching for phylogenetic patterns of Symbiodiniaceae community structure among Indo-Pacific Merulinidae corals [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
Over half of all extant stony corals (Cnidaria: Anthozoa: Scleractinia) harbour endosymbiotic dinoflagellates of the family Symbiodiniaceae, forming the foundational species of modern shallow reefs.

Molecular Mechanisms of Coral Persistence Within Highly Urbanized Locations in the Port of Miami, Florida

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Healthy coral communities can be found on artificial structures (concrete walls and riprap) within the Port of Miami (PoM), Florida. These communities feature an unusually high abundance of brain corals, which have almost entirely vanished from nearby ...

Metaproteome Analysis of Short‐Term Thermal Stress in Three Sympatric Coral Species Reveals Divergent Host Responses

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Short‐term thermal stress triggers distinct molecular responses in three sympatric coral species with contrasting thermal resilience. Proteomic and metabolomic profiling reveal both species‐specific and limited shared pathways underlying these stress responses.
