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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

Gene expression of settled and metamorphosed Orbicella faveolata during establishment of symbiosis [PDF]
, 2017 Corals rely on a symbiosis with dinoflagellate algae (Symbiodinium spp.) to thrive in nutrient poor tropical oceans. However, the coral-algal symbiosis can break down during bleaching events, potentially leading to coral death. While genome-wide expression studies have shown the genes associated with the breakdown of this partnership, the full ...

Early life history of the Caribbean coral Orbicella faveolata (Scleractinia: Merulinidae)
Revista de Biología Tropical, 2020 Abstract. Introduction: Rehabilitation of hermatypic coral species that have declined in the Caribbean in recent decades is a priority. Production of sexual recruits is considered the best restoration method to aid affected populations. Objective: To gain knowledge of early life stages of Orbicella faveolata and to enhance production of new sexual ...

Natural Variability in Caribbean Coral Physiology and Implications for Coral Bleaching Resilience
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Coral reefs are among the most diverse and complex ecosystems in the world that provide important ecological and economical services. Increases in sea surface temperature linked to global climate change threatens these ecosystems by inducing coral ...
