An Acute Permethrin Exposure Causes Significant Microbial Shifts in Montastraea cavernosa

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Insecticide use is common in developed tropical regions where it may enter coastal reef ecosystems through land-based sources. This local introduction of contaminants could affect ecosystem health as corals can better withstand global stressors more ...

Measuring Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease Induction and Lesion Progression Within Two Intermediately Susceptible Species, Montastraea cavernosa and Orbicella faveolata

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
During the last several decades, Florida’s Coral Reef (FCR) has been impacted by both global and local stressors that have devastated much of its living coral cover.

Metabolomics of Healthy and Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease Affected Montastraea cavernosa Corals

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Depth Influences Symbiodiniaceae Associations Among Montastraea cavernosa Corals on the Belize Barrier Reef

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
In Belize, shallow populations (10 and 16 m) of the coral species Montastraea cavernosa from the back reef and reef crest are genetically differentiated from deeper populations on the fore reef and reef wall (25 and 35 m).

Assessing the effectiveness of two intervention methods for stony coral tissue loss disease on Montastraea cavernosa

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) was first observed in Florida in 2014 and has since spread to multiple coral reefs across the wider Caribbean.

Fine‐scale structure among mesophotic populations of the great star coral Montastraea cavernosa revealed by SNP genotyping

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2020
Mesophotic reefs (30‐150 m) have been proposed as potential refugia that facilitate the recovery of degraded shallow reefs following acute disturbances such as coral bleaching and disease.

The Influence of Foureye Butterflyfish (Chaetodon capistratus) and Symbiodiniaceae on the Transmission of Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Marine diseases have caused large scale decreases in coral cover across the Caribbean and are unfortunately projected to increase as sea surface temperatures rise.

Salpivory by Colonial Reef Corals at Curaçao, Southern Caribbean

open access: yesDiversity, 2021
A salp swarm was observed in Director’s Bay, Curaçao in July 2021, where salps were caught and consumed by three scleractinian colonial reef corals: Madracis auretenra, Locke, Weil & Coates, 2017; Meandrina meandrites (Linnaeus, 1758), and Montastraea ...

Gene Expression Response to Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease Transmission in M. cavernosa and O. faveolata From Florida

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Since 2014, corals within Florida’s Coral Reef have been dying at an unprecedented rate due to stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD). Here we describe the transcriptomic outcomes of three different SCTLD transmission experiments performed at the ...

Population Structure of Montastraea cavernosa on Shallow versus Mesophotic Reefs in Bermuda. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Mesophotic coral reef ecosystems remain largely unexplored with only limited information available on taxonomic composition, abundance and distribution. Yet, mesophotic reefs may serve as potential refugia for shallow-water species and thus understanding
