An Acute Permethrin Exposure Causes Significant Microbial Shifts in Montastraea cavernosa
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 ...

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

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).

Salpivory by Colonial Reef Corals at Curaçao, Southern Caribbean
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 ...

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]
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
