Population structure and connectivity of the mountainous star coral, Orbicella faveolata , throughout the wider Caribbean region [PDF]
, 2017 As coral reefs continue to decline worldwide, it becomes ever more necessary to understand the connectivity between coral populations to develop efficient management strategies facilitating survival and adaptation of coral reefs in the future.

Increasing coral calcification in Orbicella faveolata and Pseudodiploria strigosa at Flower Garden Banks, Gulf of Mexico [PDF]
Coral Reefs, 2021 AbstractCoral reefs are globally in decline and western Atlantic reefs have experienced the greatest losses in live coral cover of any region. The Flower Garden Banks (FGB) in the Gulf of Mexico are high-latitude, remote reefs that are an outlier to this trend, as they have maintained coral cover ≥ 50% since at least 1989.

Seasonal Variability in Calorimetric Energy Content of Two Caribbean Mesophotic Corals. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Energetic responses of zooxanthellate reef corals along depth gradients have relevance to the refugia potential of mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs). Previous observations suggested that MCEs in the Caribbean are thermally buffered during the warmest ...

Tissue mortality by Caribbean ciliate infection and white band disease in three reef-building coral species [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Caribbean ciliate infection (CCI) and white band disease (WBD) are diseases that affect a multitude of coral hosts and are associated with rapid rates of tissue losses, thus contributing to declining coral cover in Caribbean reefs.
