Exploring microbiome engineering as a strategy for improved thermal tolerance in Exaiptasia diaphana

Journal of Applied Microbiology, Volume 132, Issue 4, Page 2940-2956, April 2022., 2022
Abstract Aims Fourteen percent of all living coral, equivalent to more than all the coral on the Great Barrier Reef, has died in the past decade as a result of climate change‐driven bleaching. Inspired by the ‘oxidative stress theory of coral bleaching’, we investigated whether a bacterial consortium designed to scavenge free radicals could integrate ...

Viral-Like Particles Are Associated With Endosymbiont Pathology in Florida Corals Affected by Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) was first documented in 2014 near the Port of Miami, Florida, and has since spread north and south along Florida’s Coral Reef, killing large numbers of more than 20 species of coral and leading to the functional ...

Reproductive effort of Montastraea cavernosa across depth in the context of both climate change refugia and emergent disease [PDF]

, 2020
As coral populations on shallow reefs decline globally, mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCE) have been suggested as potential coral refugia in the face of climate changes, leading to the development of a comprehensive deep reef refugia hypothesis.

Temperature stress and disease drives the extirpation of the threatened pillar coral, Dendrogyra cylindrus, in southeast Florida [PDF]

, 2021
Rare species population dynamics can elucidate the resilience of an ecosystem. On coral reefs, climate change and local anthropogenic stressors are threatening stony coral persistence, increasing the need to assess vulnerable species locally.

Environmental and biological drivers of white plague disease on shallow and mesophotic coral reefs

Ecography, Volume 44, Issue 7, Page 1071-1085, July 2021., 2021
Outbreaks of coral white plague (WP) disease have caused significant regional declines of reef‐building Caribbean corals. Due to a greater availability of epidemiological data, studies have primarily focused on shallow coral reefs (< 30 m). In the U.S.

Fine Scale Temporal and Spatial Dynamics of the Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease Outbreak Within the Lower Florida Keys

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
One of the latest threats to Florida’s Coral Reef is the stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) outbreak which affects all but a few Caribbean scleractinian species and has spread throughout the Caribbean since 2014. Without a known pathogen, ecological

Short- and Long-Term Effectiveness of Coral Disease Treatments [PDF]

, 2021
Since 2014, stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) has led to large-scale mortality of over 20 coral species throughout the Florida Reef Tract. In 2019, in-water disease intervention strategies were implemented to treat affected corals.

Coral Restoration in the Omics Era: Development of Point-of-Care Tools for Monitoring Disease, Reproduction, and Thermal Stress. [PDF]

Bioessays
Shown are different multi‐omics approaches that are used to identify potential biomarkers of coral health and disease. The integration of these data streams, using cutting‐edge molecular diagnostic technologies, including colorimetric dipsticks, lateral flow assays, and colorimetric LAMP (loop‐mediated isothermal amplification), holds the promise to ...

Stony coral tissue loss disease accelerated shifts in coral composition and declines in reef accretion potential in the Florida Keys

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Outbreaks of coral disease have been a dominant force shaping western Atlantic coral-reef assemblages since the late 1970s. Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) is nonetheless having an unprecedented impact in the region. Whereas numerous studies over

Differences in the progression rate of SCTLD in Pseudodiploria strigosa are related to colony size and morphology

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD) impacts are unprecedented concerning the level of devastation they have imposed on Caribbean coral assemblages.
