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.

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

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.

Holocene development of submerged keep‐up patch reefs on Bermuda without acroporids: A model of future reef accretion

The Depositional Record, Volume 11, Issue 5, Page 1517-1541, November 2025.
Bermuda patch reefs development was primarily controlled by massive coral framework construction, and variation in environmental energy, turbidity and bioerosion. These factors shaped the size, diversity and preservation of the framework, leading to a suppressed, steady vertical accretion.

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.

First record of glitter particles in coral reefs from a remote archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean

Discover Oceans
Microplastic pollution represents a relevant environmental issue for the conservation of marine environments. Glitter particles are often a single-use material and are considered an important group of microplastics.

Bacterial Dynamics in Newly Settled Acropora kenti: Insights From Inoculations With Individual Probiotic Candidates

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2025.
Newly settled Acropora kenti corals were inoculated with native, individual probiotic candidates pre‐screened for putatively beneficial traits. Several bacterial strains persisted in the coral microbiome and induced structural changes still measurable five days after the final inoculation, with coral associated microbial aggregates (CAMAs) formed ...

Shifting baselines of coral‐reef species composition from the Late Pleistocene to the present in the Florida Keys

The Depositional Record, Volume 11, Issue 3, Page 893-916, June 2025.
We produced the first reconstruction of the coral species composition of MIS5d–a reefs in the Florida Keys and compared it with existing regional records from MIS5e, the Holocene, the recent past (1996) and the present (2022) to evaluate how Florida's reefs changed throughout the late Quaternary.

Short-term aggressive behavior in scleractinian corals from La Blanquilla reef, Veracruz Reef System

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2001
The short-term aggressive behavior of scleractinian corals from La Blanquilla Reef, Veracruz Reef System, Gulf of Mexico was determined. Unilateral aggression, bilateral aggression and indifference were observed through experimental interspecific ...

Physical Connectivity Between Mesophotic Areas in the Northern Gulf of Mexico

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 130, Issue 2, February 2025.
Abstract Understanding connectivity patterns is crucial for marine planning, particularly in the design of marine protected areas or restoration plans. In this study, we assess the potential physical connectivity between mesophotic areas in the northern Gulf of Mexico and investigate the dynamical features influencing such connectivity using a physical
