Acclimation and size influence predation, growth, and survival of sexually produced Diploria labyrinthiformis used in restoration [PDF]
Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) has swept through Florida reefs and caused mass mortality of numerous coral species. In the wake of these losses, efforts are underway to propagate coral species impacted by SCTLD and promote population recovery ...

Biofilms as potential reservoirs of stony coral tissue loss disease
Since 2014, corals throughout Florida’s Coral Reef have been plagued by an epizootic of unknown etiology, colloquially termed stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD).

Reef Sediments Can Act As a Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease Vector
Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) was first observed in 2014 near Virginia Key in Miami-Dade County, Florida. Field sampling, lab experiments, and modeling approaches have suggested that reef sediments may play a role in SCTLD transmission, though ...

Diversity and Prevalence of Coral Diseases in the Nearshore Regions of the Northern South China Sea. [PDF]
This study presents the first systematic survey of coral disease diversity and prevalence in the nearshore regions of the northern South China Sea. Six common diseases and eight stress‐related phenomena were documented across seven sites, revealing distinct regional patterns and host‐specific susceptibilities.

Effect of species, size, and chimerism on the susceptibility of Caribbean brain coral recruits to stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) [PDF]
Abstract Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) has devastated coral populations along Florida’s Coral Reef and beyond. Although widespread infection and mortality of adult colonies have been documented, no studies have yet investigated the susceptibility of recruits to this disease. Here, we exposed eight-month-old

Variability of morphological descriptors in Sicilian oat (Avena sativa L.) populations
Abstract Due to its rusticity and feasibility of use, oat (Avena sativa L.) represents a crucial agronomic and economic resource for many semiarid environments. Presently, the recourse to new commercial varieties has caused a dramatic lowering of areas covered with the traditional local genotypes, and a severe risk of genetic erosion is emerging.

Coral reef erosion: In situ measurement on different dead coral substrates on a Caribbean reef
Abstract Widespread mortality of reef‐building coral substantially reduces the capacity for reef growth and makes available extensive bare substrate areas that in the absence of coral recovery will be eroded by a variety of external and internal bioeroders.
