Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease Results in Persistent Microbial-Level Disturbances on Coral Reef Ecosystems. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
Reef microbiomes before the arrival of stony coral tissue loss disease (vulnerable stage) during the outbreak (epidemic) and after (endemic). Microbial diversity, network metrics, and functional potential varied among apparently healthy corals and the surrounding water and sediments across the stages.

The relative effectiveness of chlorine and antibiotic treatments for stony coral tissue loss disease [PDF]

Frontiers in Marine Science
Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) causes severe mortality in many hard corals and is now present in most of the Caribbean. The application of amoxicillin paste is currently the most successful local intervention to treat SCTLD lesions in nature ...

Southeast Florida large Orbicella faveolata are highly fecund without evident disease intervention effects [PDF]

Frontiers in Marine Science
The recent widespread mortality and tissue loss in Florida from stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) has propelled the need for assisted reproduction to restore reefs, especially for the ESA listed species Orbicella faveolata.

Biofilms as potential reservoirs of stony coral tissue loss disease

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
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).

Impacts of Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD) on Coral Community Structure at an Inshore Patch Reef of the Upper Florida Keys Using Photomosaics [PDF]

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Since the appearance of stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) on reefs off Miami in 2014, this unprecedented outbreak has spread across the entirety of Florida’s coral reef tract, as well as to many territories throughout the Caribbean. The endemic zone reached the upper Florida Keys by 2016, resulting in partial or complete mortality of coral ...

Diversity and Prevalence of Coral Diseases in the Nearshore Regions of the Northern South China Sea. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
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.

Dynamics of the Benthic Communities of Pigeon Islets (Guadeloupe Island, Lesser Antilles) from 2012 to 2021 Monitored by a Photo-Quadrats Technique [PDF]

, 2023
Since 2012, the benthic communities of the Pigeon Islets (Guadeloupe Island, Lesser Antilles) have been monitored biannually by the National Park of Guadeloupe using photo—quadrats.

Effect of species, size, and chimerism on the susceptibility of Caribbean brain coral recruits to stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) [PDF]

, 2021
AbstractStony 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.

Discovery of Genetically Distinct, Sympatric Coral Lineages With Temporal but Not Gametic Reproductive Isolation. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Coral species abundance and biodiversity estimates are typically based on colony macromorphology. However, such measurements often underestimate the true diversity within coral communities because morphology does not necessarily reflect behavioral or genetic divergence. We previously reported on the unusual spawning behavior of the brain coral
