Climate change promotes parasitism in a coral symbiosis. [PDF]
, 2018 Coastal oceans are increasingly eutrophic, warm and acidic through the addition of anthropogenic nitrogen and carbon, respectively. Among the most sensitive taxa to these changes are scleractinian corals, which engineer the most biodiverse ecosystems on ...

Gene expression of endangered coral (Orbicella spp.) in flower garden banks National Marine Sanctuary after Hurricane Harvey [PDF]
, 2019 About 190 km south of the Texas–Louisiana border, the East and West Flower Garden Banks (FGB) have maintained > 50% coral cover with infrequent and minor incidents of disease or bleaching since monitoring began in the 1970s.

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 ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 12, December 2023., 2023 Metabolic cooperation and exchange through symbioses with microbes is essential for many multicellular organisms, including invertebrates. Here, we examined how changes in symbiont density and thermal stress affected the microbiome of symbiotic Aiptasia anemones by comparing them with aposymbiotic anemones.

The effects of dissolved organic matter supplements on the metabolism of corals under heat stress
Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 68, Issue 12, Page 2774-2788, December 2023., 2023 Abstract Octocorals represent a major alternative group in the benthic community of reefs that have diverged from hexacoral dominance. Despite their phototrophic symbionts, supplementing their diet with heterotrophic sources may promote their growth, particularly when compared to hexacorals in bleaching conditions.

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 ...

Coral Skeletal Cores as Windows Into Past Symbiodiniaceae Community Dynamics. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolStony corals rely on their association with symbiotic algae for their growth and health. However, corals can lose these symbionts in response to heat stress and bleach, but they can also recover from bleaching and associate with new, more tolerant symbionts.
