Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD) has affected Caribbean coral reef colonies since it was first detected in Florida in 2014. Its rapid spread and virulent nature are a major concern to coastal nations in the Caribbean Sea.

Molecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 19, Page 5394-5413, October 2023., 2023 Abstract Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) remains an unprecedented disease outbreak due to its high mortality rate and rapid spread throughout Florida's Coral Reef and wider Caribbean. A collaborative effort is underway to evaluate strategies that mitigate the spread of SCTLD across coral colonies and reefs, including restoration of disease ...

Habitat quality effects on the abundance of a coral-dwelling fish across spatial scales. [PDF]
Ecol EvolCoral‐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 ...

Variability of morphological descriptors in Sicilian oat (Avena sativa L.) populations
Agronomy Journal, Volume 115, Issue 5, Page 2469-2488, September/October 2023., 2023 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.

Effectiveness of topical antibiotics in treating corals affected by Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Since 2014, Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD) has led to mass mortality of the majority of hard coral species on the Florida Reef Tract. Following the successful treatment of SCTLD lesions on laboratory corals using water dosed with antibiotics ...

Coral reef erosion: In situ measurement on different dead coral substrates on a Caribbean reef
Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 67, Issue 12, Page 2734-2749, December 2022., 2022 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.
