Spatial variation of hermatypic coral assemblages in Cayos Cochinos Archipelago, Honduras Variación espacial de los ensamblajes de corales hermatípicos en el archipiélago Cayos Cochinos, Honduras

Latin American Journal of Aquatic Research, 2012
Spatial variations of hermatypic coral assemblages were evaluated at five sites in Cayos Cochinos Archipelago, Honduras, in February 2008. Richness and coverage of corals and other benthic morpho-functional groups were estimated using 56 videotransects ...

Microbial Community Shifts Associated With the Ongoing Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease Outbreak on the Florida Reef Tract

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
As many as 22 of the 45 coral species on the Florida Reef Tract are currently affected by stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD). The ongoing disease outbreak was first observed in 2014 in Southeast Florida near Miami and as of early 2019 has been ...

Sulfate reducing bacteria as secondary and necessary pathogens in black band disease of corals

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2014
Black band disease (BBD) is a complex, polymicrobial disease that consists of cyanobacteria, sulfide-oxidizing and sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB), and heterotrophic bacteria.

Assessing the efficacy of coral restoration along Florida’s coral reef under the chronic persistence of stony coral tissue loss disease

Frontiers in Marine Science
Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) has caused unprecedented coral mortality across Florida’s Coral Reef (FCR) since 2014, raising concerns about whether coral restoration can succeed under chronic disease conditions and whether outplanting ...

Broadscale coral disease interventions elicit efficiencies in endemic disease response

Frontiers in Marine Science
The presence and abundance of reef-building corals are crucial to the long-term existence of Caribbean coral reef ecosystems, providing both direct and indirect, local and global, ecological, economic, and social benefits.

Bacterial and Symbiodiniaceae communities’ variation in corals with distinct traits and geographical distribution

Scientific Reports
Coral microbiomes play crucial roles in holobiont homeostasis and adaptation. The host’s ability to populate broad ecological niches and to cope with environmental changes seems to be related to the flexibility of the coral microbiome.

Seasonal variation modulates coral sensibility to heat-stress and explains annual changes in coral productivity

Scientific Reports, 2017
The potential effects of seasonal acclimatization on coral sensitivity to heat-stress, has received limited attention despite differing bleaching thresholds for summer and winter.

EVALUACIÓN DE CORALES ESCLERACTINEOS Y GORGONIAS EN DOS LOCALIDADES DE CIUDAD DE LA HABANA, CUBA.

Revista de Investigaciones Marinas, 2023
En la desembocadura de los ríos Quibú y Almendares se colocaron emisarios submarinos en 1997 y 1999 respectivamente. Esto debería haber contribuido a la recuperación de los arrecifes coralinos en estas zonas de la costa de la Ciudad de La Habana.

Spatial differences in recruit density, survival, and size structure prevent population growth of stony coral assemblages in southeast Florida

Frontiers in Marine Science
The size structure of stony coral populations can reveal underlying demographic barriers to population growth or recovery. Recent declines in coral cover from acute disturbances are well documented, but few studies have assessed size structure and the ...
