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.

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.

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 ...

Effectiveness of topical antibiotics in treating corals affected by Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Since 2014, Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD) has led to mass mortality of the majority of hard coral species on the Florida Reef Tract. Following the successful treatment of SCTLD lesions on laboratory corals using water dosed with antibiotics ...

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 10, May 2026.ABSTRACT Shallow coral reefs are under threat from anthropogenic stress and climate change. Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs), found in deeper, cooler and less impacted waters, are proposed as potential refugia or larval sources for shallow reefs. However, this hypothesis of such deep‐reef refugia is now controversial because their effectiveness is ...

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Introduction Coral reefs, vital for marine ecosystems and human well‐being, face drastic decline due to climate change effects. In the Caribbean, global disturbances and regional water pollution exacerbate conditions, eliciting disease outbreaks that, in synergy with coral bleaching and hurricanes, cause significant damage to key reef‐building
