Measuring Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease Induction and Lesion Progression Within Two Intermediately Susceptible Species, Montastraea cavernosa and Orbicella faveolata

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
During the last several decades, Florida’s Coral Reef (FCR) has been impacted by both global and local stressors that have devastated much of its living coral cover.

Three-Dimensional Molecular Cartography of the Caribbean Reef-Building Coral Orbicella faveolata

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
All organisms host a diversity of associated viruses, bacteria, and protists, collectively defined as the holobiont. While scientific advancements have enhanced the understanding of the functional roles played by various components of the holobiont ...

Low pH reduces the virulence of black band disease on Orbicella faveolata [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Black band is a deadly coral disease found worldwide, which may become more virulent as oceanic conditions continue to change. To determine the effects of climate change and ocean acidification on black band disease virulence, Orbicella faveolata corals ...

Intersection of coral molecular responses to a localized mortality event and ex situ deoxygenation

Ecology and Evolution
In July 2016, East Bank of Flower Garden Banks (FGB) National Marine Sanctuary experienced a localized mortality event (LME) of multiple invertebrate species that ultimately led to reductions in coral cover.

Algal symbiont genera but not coral host genotypes correlate to stony coral tissue loss disease susceptibility among Orbicella faveolata colonies in South Florida

Frontiers in Marine Science
Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) has spread throughout the entirety of Florida’s Coral Reef (FCR) and across the Caribbean, impacting at least 30 coral species.

Southeast Florida large Orbicella faveolata are highly fecund without evident disease intervention effects

Frontiers in Marine Science
The recent widespread mortality and tissue loss in Florida from stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) has propelled the need for assisted reproduction to restore reefs, especially for the ESA listed species Orbicella faveolata.

Evaluating the effect of amoxicillin treatment on the microbiome of Orbicella faveolata with Caribbean yellow band disease

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
Host microbiomes play a key role in coral disease dynamics; thus, it is essential to characterize microbial communities of diseased tissues and identify how they are altered by potential treatments, especially as coral reef populations continue to ...

Larval longevity and competency patterns of Caribbean reef-building corals [PDF]

PeerJ, 2020
The potential for long-distance larval dispersal depends on the longevity of planktonic, free-swimming larvae and their capacity to successfully recruit to reef habitat.

Low regeneration of lesions produced by coring in Orbicella faveolata [PDF]

PeerJ, 2016
The extraction of tissue-skeleton cores from coral colonies is a common procedure to study diverse aspects of their biology, water quality or to obtain environmental proxies.

Corals regulate the distribution and abundance of Symbiodiniaceae and biomolecules in response to changing water depth and sea surface temperature

Scientific Reports, 2021
The Scleractinian corals Orbicella annularis and O. faveolata have survived by acclimatizing to environmental changes in water depth and sea surface temperature (SST).
