Evaluating the effect of amoxicillin treatment on the microbiome of Orbicella faveolata with Caribbean yellow band disease [PDF]
Applied and Environmental MicrobiologyHost 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 ...

Speciation across depth gradients in reef corals [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsEcological speciation through adaptation to different habitats can readily occur without strong geographic isolation when the same traits underlie both ecological divergence and reproductive isolation.

Genotype and symbiont composition rather than environment influence susceptibility to stony coral tissue loss disease in coral restoration broodstock [PDF]
Scientific ReportsOver the last several decades, Florida’s Coral Reef has been impacted by global and local stressors causing significant declines in living coral with no signs of natural recovery.

Frontiers in Marine ScienceThe 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.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 As coral reefs face increasing threats from a variety of stressors, coral restoration has become an important tool to aid coral populations. A novel strategy for restoring boulder corals is microfragmentation, which may enhance coral growth by at least ...

Increased Algal Symbiont Density Reduces Host Immunity in a Threatened Caribbean Coral Species, Orbicella faveolata [PDF]
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Scleractinian corals are the principal builders of coral reefs. These megadiverse ecosystems are declining due to coral mortality from a variety of stressors, including disease.

Sponge-derived matter is assimilated by coral holobionts [PDF]
Communications BiologyCoral reef biodiversity is maintained by a complex network of nutrient recycling among organisms. Sponges assimilate nutrients produced by other organisms like coral and algae, releasing them as particulate and dissolved matter, but to date, only a ...

Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease Results in Persistent Microbial-Level Disturbances on Coral Reef Ecosystems. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepReef microbiomes before the arrival of stony coral tissue loss disease (vulnerable stage) during the outbreak (epidemic) and after (endemic). Microbial diversity, network metrics, and functional potential varied among apparently healthy corals and the surrounding water and sediments across the stages.

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.

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2023 Introduction: One of the main bottlenecks in restoration projects based on sexual reproduction is post-settlement survival, mainly due to competition for substrate with fleshy algae and predation. Therefore, substrates of different shapes and materials have been created and tested, seeking to optimize these processes with attractive surfaces for the ...
