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 ...

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.

Proteomic Basis of Symbiosis: A Heterologous Partner Fails to Duplicate Homologous Colonization in a Novel Cnidarian– Symbiodiniaceae Mutualism

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Reef corals and sea anemones form symbioses with unicellular symbiotic dinoflagellates. The molecular circumventions that underlie the successful intracellular colonization of hosts by symbionts are still largely unknown.

The Symbiodiniaceae and Bacterial Dynamic Composition of the Coral Echinopora gemmacea on Wuzhizhou Island

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
Coral’s susceptibility to bleaching is determined by the strength of the intricate mutual relationships among coral symbionts. However, there is limited knowledge about how the symbiotic members of the scleractinian coral Echinopora gemmacea respond to ...

A phenomic modeling approach for using chlorophyll-a fluorescence-based measurements on coral photosymbionts

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
We test a newly developed instrument prototype which utilizes time-resolved chlorophyll-a fluorescence techniques and fluctuating light to characterize Symbiodiniaceae functional traits across seven different coral species under cultivation as part of ...

Symbiodiniaceae and Ruegeria sp. Co-Cultivation to Enhance Nutrient Exchanges in Coral Holobiont

Microorganisms
The symbiotic relationship between corals and their associated microorganisms is crucial for the health of coral reef eco-environmental systems. Recently, there has been a growing interest in unraveling how the manipulation of symbiont nutrient cycling ...

Symbiont genus determines the trophic strategy of corals: Implications for intraspecific competition for energy sources in coral reefs

Ecological Indicators
Coral reefs are typically found in nutrient-limited waters, which may restrict the growth and expansion of corals. Nevertheless, corals are mixotrophs that may adjust to the variation in the availability of energy sources by switching their major ...

Co‐dynamics of Symbiodiniaceae and bacterial populations during the first year of symbiosis with Acropora tenuis juveniles

MicrobiologyOpen, 2020
Interactions between corals and their associated microbial communities (Symbiodiniaceae and prokaryotes) are key to understanding corals' potential for and rate of acclimatory and adaptive responses. However, the establishment of microalgal and bacterial

Algal symbiont genera but not coral host genotypes correlate to stony coral tissue loss disease susceptibility among Orbicella faveolata colonies in South Florida

Frontiers in Marine Science
Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) has spread throughout the entirety of Florida’s Coral Reef (FCR) and across the Caribbean, impacting at least 30 coral species.

Impact of the 2023–2024 ENSO Event of the North Pacific Coral Reefs of Costa Rica

Diversity
Coral reefs are increasingly impacted by marine heatwaves and global warming, with the 2023–2024 El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) event causing unprecedented thermal stress across the Eastern Tropical Pacific.
