Revealing novelty from the southwestern Atlantic, Yemanjia gen. nov. and Olokunococcus gen. nov. from the coral cyanobiome of the Abrolhos Bank

Journal of Phycology, Volume 62, Issue 2, Page 533-555, April 2026.
Abstract Cyanobacteria comprise over 6000 species and inhabit diverse environments, including marine invertebrates such as sponges and corals. High‐throughput sequencing has indicated an abundance of Cyanobacteria communities in these hosts, yet taxonomic resolution has remained low below the phylum level.

Survival and reinfection rates of SCTLD-affected corals treated in situ with amoxicillin

Frontiers in Marine Science
The unprecedented mortality to Caribbean corals caused by stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) led to the use of an in-water medicine applied directly to disease lesions.

Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease in Florida Is Associated With Disruption of Host–Zooxanthellae Physiology

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Samples from eight species of corals (Colpophyllia natans, Dendrogyra cylindrus, Diploria labyrinthiformis, Meandrina meandrites, Montastraea cavernosa, Orbicella faveolata, Pseudodiploria strigosa, and Siderastrea siderea) that exhibited gross clinical ...

Synergistic Effects of Thermal Stress and Estuarine Discharge on Transcriptomic Variation of Montastraea cavernosa Corals in Southeast Florida

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Coral reefs at the northern extent of Florida’s coral reef tract are exposed to many localized anthropogenic influences including controlled freshwater discharges, runoff, upwelling, and seasonal environmental variability.

The Ecological Mechanism of Coral–Algal Phase Shifts: A Case Study of Wenchang in Hainan Province

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study selected the coral reef areas in the coastal waters of Wenchang, Hainan, China, which were significantly affected by human activities. Through four consecutive years of field investigations, the key driving factors and potential mechanisms of ecological phase shifts between corals and macroalgae were identified, thus providing a scientific ...

Bacterial Communities Associated With Crustose Coralline Algae Are Host‐Specific

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 1, February 2026.
Fifteen Indo‐Pacific crustose coralline algae (CCA) species surface microbial communities were characterised with 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and are distinct. The CCA surface microbiome primarily differentiate by algal host species, but core bacterial communities additionally correlated to host phylogeny.

Selective Effects of Environmental Conditions and Protection Levels on Herbivorous Fish Functions in the Largest South Atlantic Reef Complex

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Herbivorous fish are key components in maintaining functionality in reef environments; however, this group is widely threatened by overfishing and habitat degradation. Investigating the main factors determining the structure of herbivorous fish becomes paramount to defining management strategies amid anthropogenic impacts. This study evaluated

Evaluating the effectiveness of field-based probiotic treatments for stony coral tissue loss disease in southeast Florida, USA

Frontiers in Marine Science
Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) has spread throughout Florida’s Coral Reef, causing extensive mortality of over 30 species of reef-building corals, and has rapidly spread to many other countries and territories throughout the Caribbean.

Light and photoacclimatization drive distinct differences between shallow and mesophotic coral communities

Ecosphere, 2022
The ecological distribution of coral species from shallow to mesophotic reefs is dependent on light, which varies drastically among local environments.

Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease Results in Persistent Microbial‐Level Disturbances on Coral Reef Ecosystems

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 6, December 2025.
Reef microbiomes before the arrival of stony coral tissue loss disease (vulnerable stage) during the outbreak (epidemic) and after (endemic). Microbial diversity, network metrics, and functional potential varied among apparently healthy corals and the surrounding water and sediments across the stages.
