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.

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.

A Ship Grounding Over a Century Ago Left a Lasting Channel Among Corals

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
Ship groundings damage coral ecosystems due to the physical abrasion or shattering of corals, but also lead to changes in community structure and increases in coral diseases. In northeastern Brazil, the state of Rio Grande do Norte has a notable history of shipwrecks and maritime incidents due to the combination of strong trade winds, complex currents,

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Understanding Dynamic Molecular Responses Is Key to Designing Environmental Stress Experiments: A Review of Gene and Protein Expression in Cnidaria Under Stress

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 9, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Gene and protein expression analyses are powerful tools to investigate the responses of cnidarians to stress, providing information on both genetic and functional variation and capturing dynamic shifts in organismal physiology. As the use of high throughput sequencing to understand responses of cnidarians to stressors is still relatively new ...

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

The impact of stony coral tissue loss disease and amoxicillin treatments on coral gametogenesis

Frontiers in Marine Science
The unprecedented mortality of stony corals on Florida’s Coral Reef from stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) was mitigated on some priority sites and corals through the use of a topical amoxicillin paste to halt disease lesion progression.

Diversity and function of fluorescent molecules in marine animals

Biological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 4, Page 1391-1410, August 2024.
ABSTRACT Fluorescence in marine animals has mainly been studied in Cnidaria but is found in many different phyla such as Annelida, Crustacea, Mollusca, and Chordata. While many fluorescent proteins and molecules have been identified, very little information is available about the biological functions of fluorescence.
