Human-induced environmental changes have been linked directly with loss of biodiversity. Coral reefs, which have been severely impacted by anthropogenic activities over the last few decades, exemplify this global problem and provide an opportunity to ...

Acute Heat Priming Dampens Gene Expression Response to Thermal Stress in a Widespread Acropora Coral
(a) Experimental design. Corals from 10 genotypes were distributed across two experimental blocks, each containing nine flow‐through tanks. Fragments from five genotypes were placed in each tank. (b) Temperature profiles and sampling time points in the heat stress assay, demonstrating ramp up from control conditions (27ºC, MMM) to the preconditioning ...

Complex and distinct bacterial communities inhabit marine sponges and are believed to be essential to host survival, but our present-day inability to domesticate sponge symbionts in the laboratory hinders our access to the full metabolic breadth of these

Abstract Scleractinian coral evolved under nitrogen (N)‐limited conditions. The increase in N flux from anthropogenic activities to these otherwise N‐depleted environments is threatening coral health and coral reef ecosystem function. We tested the effect of elevated ammonium (NH4+) loading on Acropora metabolism responses (respiration, gross primary ...

Abstract All plant organs have the potential to harbor microbial communities and each organ may form unique niches for specialized microbial communities. There have been very few detailed investigations of microbiomes within a single plant organ along different developmental stages.

Marine infectious diseases can have large-scale impacts when they affect foundation species such as seagrasses and corals. Interactions between host and disease, in turn, may be modulated by multiple perturbations associated with global change. A case in

The results reveal low adaptedness but high adaptability among beech seedlings, supporting mixed plantings of local and climate‐matched non‐local populations to strengthen forest resilience. Root‐associated fungi strongly influenced seedling growth through nitrogen uptake, with mycorrhizal fungi having positive effects and saprotrophs negative ones ...

Behavioural microbiomics: a multi-dimensional approach to microbial influence onbehaviour
The role of microbes as a part of animal systems has historically been an under-appreciated aspect of animal life histories. Recently, evidence has emerged that microbes have wide-ranging influences on animal behaviour.

The Coral Host Microbiome Modulates the Virulence of the Bacterial Pathogen Vibrio coralliilyticus
The coral microbiome has been shown to protect the host (bottom right panel), but dysbiosis can increase susceptibility to infection by the bacterial pathogen Vibrio coralliilyticus. Treatment of Montipora capitata coral with antibiotics induced dysbiosis, which increased infection rates of less pathogenic V. coralliilyticus strains.
