Quantification of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) production in the sea anemone Aiptasia sp. to simulate the sea-to-air flux from coral reefs [PDF]

, 2017
The production of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) is poorly quantified in tropical reef environments but forms an essential process that couples marine and terrestrial sulfur cycles and affects climate.

Coral microbiome database: Integration of sequences reveals high diversity and relatedness of coral-associated microbes [PDF]

, 2019
Coral-associated microorganisms are thought to play a fundamental role in the health and ecology of corals, but understanding of specific coral-microbial interactions are lacking.

Assisted recovery of tissue loss in massive corals Orbicella faveolata: an alternative conservation tool for restoring damaged colonies

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

Efecto de las condiciones lumínicas ambientales en el crecimiento del coral Orbicella faveolata en el Caribe mexicano

Ciencias Marinas
Los corales masivos del género Orbicella son organismos clave que ayudan a mantener la estructura física de los arrecifes de coral del Caribe. Sin embargo, estos arrecifes están actualmente amenazados por los cambios ambientales, como el aumento de ...

Corals of the genus Porites are a locally abundant component of the epibiont community on mangrove prop roots at Calabash Caye, Turneffe Atoll, Belize [PDF]

, 2019
Mangroves are generally regarded as inhospitable for corals, but recent reports suggest they provide ecological refuge for some species. We surveyed diverse mangrove habitats on Turneffe Atoll, Belize, documenting 127 colonies of Porites divaricata (Thin

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.

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.

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 ...

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.
