Coral Skeletal Cores as Windows Into Past Symbiodiniaceae Community Dynamics

Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 11, November 2025.
Stony 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.

Microbial Community Shifts Associated With the Ongoing Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease Outbreak on the Florida Reef Tract

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
As many as 22 of the 45 coral species on the Florida Reef Tract are currently affected by stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD). The ongoing disease outbreak was first observed in 2014 in Southeast Florida near Miami and as of early 2019 has been ...

Dating a Medieval Tsunami With Uranium‐Series Techniques on Caribbean Corals

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 19, 16 October 2025.
Abstract Uranium‐series dates from coral boulders constrain the timing of a medieval tsunami from the Puerto Rico Trench. Previously reported evidence for this tsunami includes hundreds of coral boulders that came to rest hundreds of meters inland on Anegada, British Virgin Islands.

Spatio-Temporal Symbiont Mosaics Influence on SCTLD Susceptibility in Orbicella faveolata

, 2022
Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD) has decimated vital reef-building corals along Florida’s Coral Reef over the last 7 years. Populations of Florida’s mountainous star coral (Orbicella faveolata) have been among the top priority corals for receiving

Use of predator exclusion cages to enhance Orbicella faveolata micro-fragment survivorship and growth during restoration

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
As coral reefs face increasing threats from a variety of stressors, coral restoration has become an important tool to aid coral populations. A novel strategy for restoring boulder corals is microfragmentation, which may enhance coral growth by at least ...

Thermal and Acidification Gradients Reveal Tolerance Thresholds in Pocillopora acuta Recruits

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 20, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Ocean warming and acidification are among the biggest threats to the persistence of coral reefs. Organismal stress tolerance thresholds are life stage specific, can vary across levels of biological organisation and also depend on natural environmental variability.

Contact‐ and Water‐Mediated Interactions With an Allelopathic Macroalga Drive Distinct Coral Microbiome and Metabolome

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2025.
By integrating multi‐omics, this study demonstrates that contact and close proximity interactions trigger distinct microbial and chemical changes within the coral holobiont and its near‐surface water. While microbial dysbiosis was spatially constrained to the interaction zone, changes in lipid metabolism and production of defence metabolites occurred ...

Multi‐year evaluation of rearing techniques for three sexually propagated Caribbean corals in a restoration setting

Restoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 4, May 2025.
In response to declining coral populations worldwide, conservation groups are increasingly applying restoration strategies to bolster abundance and diversity, including sexual propagation of corals. Collection and fertilization of coral gametes as well as larval rearing and settlement have been successful.

Deep Amplicon Sequencing Quantitatively Detected Mixed Community Assemblages of Symbiodinium in Orbicella faveolata and Orbicella franksi [PDF]

, 2014
The taxonomic diversity of endosymbiont Symbiodinium species and the physiological contributions they confer to coral host species are challenging to assess.
