Varied effects of algal symbionts on transcription factor NF-κB in a sea anemone and a coral: possible roles in symbiosis and thermotolerance [PDF]

, 2019
Many cnidarians, including the reef-building corals, undergo symbiotic mutualisms with photosynthetic dinoflagellate algae of the family Symbiodiniaceae.

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.

Hypoxia threatens coral and sea anemone early life stages

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 3, Page 684-699, March 2025.
Abstract Seawater hypoxia is increasing globally and can drive declines in organismal performance across a wide range of marine taxa. However, the effects of hypoxia on early life stages (e.g., larvae and juveniles) are largely unknown, and it is unclear how evolutionary and life histories may influence these outcomes.

Effects of future climate on coral-coral competition.

PLoS ONE, 2020
As carbon dioxide (CO2) levels increase, coral reefs and other marine systems will be affected by the joint stressors of ocean acidification (OA) and warming.

Physical Connectivity Between Mesophotic Areas in the Northern Gulf of Mexico

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 130, Issue 2, February 2025.
Abstract Understanding connectivity patterns is crucial for marine planning, particularly in the design of marine protected areas or restoration plans. In this study, we assess the potential physical connectivity between mesophotic areas in the northern Gulf of Mexico and investigate the dynamical features influencing such connectivity using a physical

Estudios preliminares de las características espermáticas y de criopreservación del coral formador de arrecifes Orbicella faveolata

Bulletin of Marine and Coastal Research, 2018
Cryopreservation has been recently applied to coral gametes and tissue with successful results that can be applied for different purposes on coral conservation and restoration. In this study, we decided to determine the sperm morphology of the coral Orbicella faveolata and assess the feasibility of sperm cryopreservation using a combination of ...

Physiological and symbiotic flexibility of reef‐building corals to new habitats: Insights from clonal colony transplants

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 2, Page 207-219, February 2025.
These findings improve our understanding of coral acclimatization and physiological plasticity, highlighting potential side effects of domestication. As coral restoration accelerates globally, this knowledge is crucial for guiding efforts and conserving endangered ecosystems by supplying considerations for improving coral‐rearing systems and providing ...

Disease Diagnostics and Potential Coinfections by Vibrio coralliilyticus During an Ongoing Coral Disease Outbreak in Florida

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
A deadly coral disease outbreak has been devastating the Florida Reef Tract since 2014. This disease, stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD), affects at least 22 coral species causing the progressive destruction of tissue.

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

Habitat quality effects on the abundance of a coral‐dwelling fish across spatial scales

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2024.
Coral‐dwelling fishes are expected to be negatively affected by reef degradation, but the factors underlying this relationship are poorly understood. We showed that the functionally important cleaner fish Elacatinus evelynae is affected by habitat quality metrics across spatial scales, requiring large, healthy coral heads and preferring a subset of ...
