Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease Results in Persistent Microbial-Level Disturbances on Coral Reef Ecosystems. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
Reef 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.

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.

Settlement and post-settlement survival of Orbicella annularis and Orbicella faveolata (Scleractinia: Merulinidae) on substrates with coatings

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 ...

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.

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

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

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.

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).

Differentiation of the bacterial communities associated with Orbicella faveolata across different growth conditions and life-cycle stages. [PDF]

PLoS One
The coral microbiome can strongly influence coral health, development, and resilience. While larval settlement is fundamental for coral restoration efforts using assisted larval propagation, post-settlement survival remains a major challenge. The study of lab-bred Orbicella faveolata settlers
