Ocean acidification partially mitigates the negative effects of warming on the recruitment of the coral, Orbicella faveolata

open access: yesCoral Reefs, 2020
Ocean acidification and ocean warming constitute major threats to many calcifying reef organisms, including scleractinian corals. The combined effects of these two environmental stressors on the earliest life history stages of reef calcifiers remain poorly studied, particularly for Atlantic corals.

The Effects of Varying Thermal Stress and Light intensity on the Growth of Orbicella faveolata

open access: yes, 2017
Llenos AL, Hills JN, Coddington NC, Coelho VR. 2017. The effects of varying thermal stress and light intensity on the growth of Orbicella faveolata. Abstract: Coral reefs are one of the most diverse ecosystems in the world, yet due to bleaching caused by the synergy between thermal stress and high light intensity, these ecosystems are being threatened.

Physiological and reproductive repercussions of consecutive summer bleaching events of the threatened Caribbean coral Orbicella faveolata

Coral Reefs, 2019
Thermal stress is a major contributor to loss of coral cover, significantly impacting reefs during the third global bleaching event between 2014 and 2017. The long-term persistence of coral reefs depends on acclimatization and adaptation to changing climate, which are influenced greatly by the interactions between bleaching and reproductive success. We

Characterization of a thermally tolerant Orbicella faveolata reef in Abaco, The Bahamas

Coral Reefs, 2020
Increased ocean temperatures from anthropogenic climate change induce coral bleaching, the breakdown of symbioses between corals and photosynthetic dinoflagellates. However, some corals thrive in marginal, warm environments that exceed typical bleaching thresholds. Their survival may be mediated by specific genes within the coral host, association with

Acute turbidity exposures with Port of Miami sediments impact Orbicella faveolata tissue regeneration

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2023
We evaluated acute turbidity effects on a threatened coral species (Orbicella faveolata) under three short-term challenge scenarios using a Port of Miami sediment homogenate to simulate turbid conditions during dredging. For these experiments we designed a simple coral challenge test system that kept turbidity stable, without adverse effects to the ...

Reef‐wide and long‐term skeletal growth records of the mountainous star coral (Orbicella faveolata) from Belize barrier and atoll reefs (Central America)

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science
Abstract Coral reefs are vulnerable marine ecosystems and reef‐building corals are especially sensitive to the impacts of environmental change. Skeletal growth records of corals (Scleractinia) can be used as archives of ecological and climatological change.

Investigating the roles of transforming growth factor-beta in immune response of Orbicella faveolata, a scleractinian coral

Developmental & Comparative Immunology, 2020
Symbiotic relationships range from parasitic to mutualistic, yet all endosymbionts face similar challenges, including evasion of host immunity. Many symbiotic organisms have evolved similar mechanisms to face these challenges, including manipulation of the host's transforming growth factor-beta (TGFβ) pathway.

Genetic differentiation in the mountainous star coral Orbicella faveolata around Cuba

Coral Reefs, 2018
Caribbean coral reefs are biodiversity-rich habitats which provide numerous ecosystem services with both ecological and economical values, but nowadays they are severely degraded. In particular, populations of the major framework-building coral Orbicella faveolata have declined sharply, and therefore, understanding how these threatened coral ...

Uncertainty and variability of extension rate, density and calcification rate of a hermatypic coral (Orbicella faveolata)

Science of The Total Environment, 2019
Skeleton growth variables of hermatypic corals, such as extension rate, density and calcification rate, are widely used to study coral response to environmental stressors, establish chronological age models and reconstruct the evolution of key climate variables.
