Coral transcriptome and bacterial community profiles reveal distinct Yellow Band Disease states in Orbicella faveolata. [PDF]

ISME J, 2014
AbstractCoral diseases impact reefs globally. Although we continue to describe diseases, little is known about the etiology or progression of even the most common cases. To examine a spectrum of coral health and determine factors of disease progression we examined Orbicella faveolata exhibiting signs of Yellow Band Disease (YBD), a widespread condition

Gene Expression Response to Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease Transmission in M. cavernosa and O. faveolata From Florida

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Since 2014, corals within Florida’s Coral Reef have been dying at an unprecedented rate due to stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD). Here we describe the transcriptomic outcomes of three different SCTLD transmission experiments performed at the ...

An Update of Knowledge of the Bacterial Assemblages Associated with the Mexican Caribbean Corals Acropora palmata, Orbicella faveolata, and Porites porites

Diversity, 2023
In this study, the bacterial microbiota associated with apparently healthy corals of Acropora palmata, Orbicella faveolata, and Porites porites and the surrounding seawater and sediment were evaluated via the MiSeq Illumina sequencing of the V4 region of

Is Acropora Palmata recovering? A case study in Los Roques National Park, Venezuela [PDF]

, 2016
Eight years ago (2007), the distribution and status of Acropora palmata was quantified throughout Los Roques archipelago in Venezuela. The aim was to produce a baseline study for this species which combined population genetics with demographic data.

Mechanisms and potential immune tradeoffs of accelerated coral growth induced by microfragmentation [PDF]

PeerJ, 2022
Microfragmentation is the act of cutting corals into small pieces (~1 cm2) to accelerate the growth rates of corals relative to growth rates observed when maintaining larger-sized fragments. This rapid tissue and skeletal expansion technique offers great

SAMPLE: An R Package to Estimate Sampling Effort for Species' Occurrence Rates. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study presents SAMPLE, a novel R package that guides researchers in determining adequate sampling effort for accurately estimating species occurrence rates, a fundamental metric underlying many spatial ecology analyses. Through a real‐world case study of coral‐dwelling species and simulations, we demonstrate how SAMPLE can account for factors like

Field-Testing a Proteomics-Derived Machine-Learning Model for Predicting Coral Bleaching Susceptibility

Applied Sciences, 2023
Given the widespread decline of coral reefs, temperature-focused models have been generated to predict when and where bleaching events may occur (e.g., Coral Reef Watch).

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.

Tracking Transmission of Apicomplexan Symbionts in Diverse Caribbean Corals [PDF]

, 2013
Symbionts in each generation are transmitted to new host individuals either vertically (parent to offspring), horizontally (from exogenous sources), or a combination of both.

Symbiont composition and coral genotype determines massive coral species performance under end-of-century climate scenarios

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
The recent decline of coral health and substantial loss of coral cover along Florida’s Coral Reef (FCR) results from local stressors such as degraded water quality and disease outbreaks in addition to anthropogenically driven global stressors including ...
