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

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 ...

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.

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 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 ...

Abundance of Oligoflexales bacteria is associated with algal symbiont density, independent of thermal stress in Aiptasia anemones

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.

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 ...

The Draft Genome of an Octocoral, Dendronephthya gigantea [PDF]

, 2019
Coral reefs composed of stony corals are threatened by global marine environmental changes. However, soft coral communities of octocorallian species, appear more resilient.
