The consequences of partial clonality on the spatiotemporal genetic structure of the red alga Chondria tumulosa (Ceramiales, Rhodophyta)

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract The relative rates of sexual versus clonal reproduction partition genetic diversity, but the quantification of these rates remains limited in natural populations. This knowledge gap is particularly acute among tropical macroalgae. Chondria tumulosa is a red macroalga that has been documented at high abundance in the three northernmost atolls ...

Habitat connectivity in coastal environments: patterns and movements of Caribbean coral reef fishes with emphasis on Bluestriped Grunt, Haemulon sciurus [PDF]

, 2003
Habitat connectivity within tropical marine seascapes may be greatly dependent on the movement of large organisms, particularly fishes. Using visual and trap sampling within two small bays in Virgin Islands National Park/Biosphere Reserve, St. John, U.S.

Biofilms as potential reservoirs of stony coral tissue loss disease

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Since 2014, corals throughout Florida’s Coral Reef have been plagued by an epizootic of unknown etiology, colloquially termed stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD).

Black mangrove growth and root architecture in recycled glass sand: testing a new substrate for coastal restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
As coastal regions experience accelerating land loss, artificial substrates may be useful in restoration efforts to replenish sediment and facilitate plant colonization. Recycled glass sand is a potential artificial substrate for marsh building due to its sustainability, availability, and similarity to natural substrates.

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.

Episodic heterogeneous decline and recovery of coral cover in the Indian Ocean [PDF]

, 2011
Long-term changes in coral cover for the Caribbean and the Pacific/Southeast Asia regions (PSEA) have proven extremely useful in assessing the main drivers, magnitude and timescales of change.

Mesophotic octocoral larval settlement preferences and behaviors

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Lab‐based coral reproduction is advancing restoration efforts to support coral populations injured by the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Objectives This study aimed to answer foundational questions concerning coral spawning and larval settlement that need to be resolved for these mesophotic and deep‐sea coral species before ...

Viral-Like Particles Are Associated With Endosymbiont Pathology in Florida Corals Affected by Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) was first documented in 2014 near the Port of Miami, Florida, and has since spread north and south along Florida’s Coral Reef, killing large numbers of more than 20 species of coral and leading to the functional ...
