Repeated ex situ Spawning in Two Highly Disease Susceptible Corals in the Family Meandrinidae
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Members of the family Meandrinidae are highly susceptible to stony coral tissue loss disease, resulting in population reductions up to 88% in both Dendrogyra cylindrus and Meandrina meandrites along the Florida Reef Tract. Reductions in abundance on this

Shotgun Proteomic Analysis of Thermally Challenged Reef Corals
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Although coral reef ecosystems across the globe are in decline due to climate change and other anthropogenic stressors, certain inshore reefs of the Upper Florida Keys reef tract have persisted, with some even thriving, under marginalized conditions.

Reef Structure of the Florida Reef Tract 2005-2020
, 2023 Abstract Shallow-water coral reefs of the Florida Reef Tract comprise the third largest reef in the world, but during the last several decades scleractinian (stony) corals have suffered unprecedented declines from global and local stressors.

Impacts of a Regional, Multi-Year, Multi-Species Coral Disease Outbreak in Southeast Florida
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018 Globally coral reefs have been declining at alarming rates as a result of anthropogenic stressors, leading to increased frequency and severity of widespread bleaching and disease events. These events are often associated with increased water temperatures

Reconstruction of nitrogen sources on coral reefs: d15N and d13C in gorgonians from Florida Reef Tract [PDF]
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2005 The gorgonians Plexaura spp. occur throughout the Florida Reef Tract, and lay down annual bands of a tough protein, gorgonin, in their skeletons. We analyzed stable isotopes of nitrogen (δ 15 N) and carbon (δ 13 C) from individual annual bands in skeletons of Plexaura homomalla and P.

Spatial Epidemiology of the Stony-Coral-Tissue-Loss Disease in Florida
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 The stony-coral-tissue-loss disease (SCTLD) has recently caused widespread loss of coral along the Florida reef tract. Yet little is known about where, when, and why this coral disease outbreak occurred.

Metabolomics of Healthy and Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease Affected Montastraea cavernosa Corals
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Stony coral tissue loss disease, first observed in Florida in 2014, has now spread along the entire Florida Reef Tract and on reefs in many Caribbean countries.
