Manipulation of coral photosymbionts for enhancing resilience to environmental change [PDF]
, 2019 Ocean warming is occurring at an unprecedented rate. Only a small increase in seawater temperature can disrupt the symbiotic relationship between corals and their photosynthetic algae causing coral bleaching.

Mechanisms for the Persistence of the Coral Holobiont in the Warming Oceans of the Anthropocene [PDF]
, 2019 Coral Reefs are rapidly deteriorating in response to an onslaught of human-mediated stressors. Just one stressor alone, climate change, may extirpate coral reef ecosystems within a human lifetime, threatening societal and ecological catastrophe.

No apparent trade-offs associated with heat tolerance in a reef-building coral. [PDF]
As marine species adapt to climate change, their heat tolerance will likely be under strong selection. Yet trade-offs between heat tolerance and other life history traits could compromise natural adaptation or assisted evolution.

Florida\u27s Pillar Coral (Dendrogyra cylindrus): The Roles of the Holobiont Partners in Bleaching, Recovery, and Disease Processes [PDF]
, 2018 The iconic pillar coral, Dendrogyra cylindrus, is one of five Caribbean species listed in 2014 under the US Federal Endangered Species Act because of its extreme low abundance and continued decline in US waters. Until recently, little was known about the

Genomic conservation and putative downstream functionality of the phosphatidylinositol signalling pathway in the cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis. [PDF]
The mutualistic cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis underpins the evolutionary success of stony corals and the persistence of coral reefs. However, a molecular understanding of the signalling events that lead to the successful establishment and ...

Whole-genome duplication in an algal symbiont bolsters coral heat tolerance. [PDF]
The algal endosymbiont Durusdinium trenchii enhances the resilience of coral reefs under thermal stress. D. trenchii can live freely or in endosymbiosis, and the analysis of genetic markers suggests that this species has undergone whole-genome ...

Non-genetic means of adaptation in symbiotic reef-building corals [PDF]
As coral reefs decline due to climate change, understanding mechanisms to facilitate coral acclimatization is paramount. Corals are symbiotic organisms, and as temperatures rise, corals which used to harbor only specialist symbionts are being colonized ...

Species-specific patterns of population genetic structure differ on a microgeographic scale [PDF]
Coral exhibits substantial variation in pelagic larval duration, dispersal range, and population connectivity. In this study, we used reduced representation genotyping to compare the genetic structure of Caribbean reef-building species along the ...
