<i>oceandatr</i>: An R Package to Acquire and Process Geospatial Ocean Data. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We introduce the oceandatr R package, an interface that provides functions for acquiring and processing marine data sources—including bathymetry, geomorphology, ecological, and human use data—and returns these in several grid‐based formats. We outline uses of oceandatr, such as modeling and spatial analysis, and present two case studies where oceandatr

Genomic Resources for Imperiled Caribbean Reef-Forming Corals (Hexacorallia: Scleractinia): Complete Mitochondrial Genomes of <i>Dichocoenia stokesii</i>, <i>Diploria labyrinthiformis</i>, <i>Oculina patagonica</i>, and <i>Stephanocoenia intersepta</i>. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Mitochondrial genomes of imperiled Caribbean corals are sequenced. These genomic resources will support conservation initiatives. ABSTRACT Coral reefs provide a wide variety of services essential to both marine ecosystems and human societies yet reef‐forming corals are currently facing a multitude of global and local environmental stressors.

Accounting for Intra- and Intergenomic Sequence Variation in Reference Barcodes Improves eDNA Metabarcoding Biodiversity Assessment. [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour
ABSTRACT Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding can rapidly characterise biodiversity, yet its accuracy and effectiveness are limited by incomplete DNA barcode reference databases. We evaluated how comprehensive reference databases that include sequence variation within genomes (intragenomic) and across individuals and species (intergenomic) improve ...

Physiological Differences in Bleaching Response of the Coral Porites astreoides Along the Florida Keys Reef Tract During High-Temperature Stress

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
The Florida Keys reef tract (FKRT) has a unique geological history wherein Holocene sea-level rise and bathymetry interacted, resulting in a reef-building system with notable spatial differences in reef development.

The Host Coral Bleaching Response Viewed Through the Lens of Multi-Omics: Multi-Omics Provides the Tools to Understand the Complex Molecular Basis of Coral Bleaching, Which Can Aid Conservation Efforts. [PDF]

Bioessays
Coral bleaching is driven by multiple inputs, with heat stress and/or high irradiance being most important. The bleaching response is multifactorial with host animal species/strain and algal symbiont genotypes being critical features. Omics readout of heat stress responses includes gene expression, proteomics, metabolite, and SNP data with transcript ...

Antibiotic Treatment Ameliorates the Impact of Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD) on Coral Communities

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Stony coral tissue loss disease has spread widely in the Caribbean and causes substantial changes to coral community composition because of its broad host range and high fatality rate.

Naked corals: Skeleton loss in Scleractinia [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2006
Stony corals, which form the framework for modern reefs, are classified as Scleractinia (Cnidaria, Anthozoa, and Hexacorallia) in reference to their external aragonitic skeletons. However, persistent notions, collectively known as the “naked coral” hypothesis, hold that the scleractinian skeleton does not define a natural group ...

Evolution and biogeography of the Zanclea-Scleractinia symbiosis [PDF]

Coral Reefs, 2020
AbstractScleractinian corals provide habitats for a broad variety of cryptofauna, which in turn may contribute to the overall functioning of coral symbiomes. Among these invertebrates, hydrozoans belonging to the genusZanclearepresent an increasingly known and ecologically important group of coral symbionts.
