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

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 ...

Revealing the status of Orbicella: Main reef-builder of Morrocoy National Park and Cuare Wildlife Refuge, Venezuela, Southern Caribbean. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Reef-building corals are the main basis of coral reef ecosystems, and the Orbicella genus is currently the most important in the Caribbean region. Although Orbicella species have been extensively studied, gaps in some southern Caribbean areas still ...

Development and application of molecular biomarkers for characterizing Caribbean Yellow Band Disease in Orbicella faveolata. [PDF]

PeerJ, 2015
Molecular stress responses associated with coral diseases represent an under-studied area of cnidarian transcriptome investigations. Caribbean Yellow Band Disease (CYBD) is considered a disease of Symbiodinium within the tissues of the coral host Orbicella faveolata

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Development of an integrated genomic map for a threatened Caribbean coral ( Orbicella faveolata ) [PDF]

The Biological Bulletin, 2017
ABSTRACT Genomic methods are powerful tools for studying evolutionary responses to selection, but the application of these tools in non-model systems threatened by climate change has been limited by the availability of genomic resources in those systems. High-throughput DNA sequencing has enabled development of genome

Population structure and connectivity of the mountainous star coral, Orbicella faveolata, throughout the wider Caribbean region. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2017
AbstractAs coral reefs continue to decline worldwide, it becomes ever more necessary to understand the connectivity between coral populations to develop efficient management strategies facilitating survival and adaptation of coral reefs in the future.
