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 ...

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).

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.

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.

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

Ecol Evol
Coral‐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 ...

Management responses in Belize and Honduras, as stony coral tissue loss disease expands its prevalence in the Mesoamerican reef

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.

Stony coral tissue loss disease intervention with amoxicillin leads to a reversal of disease‐modulated gene expression pathways

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 ...

Rhodobacterales and Rhizobiales Are Associated With Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease and Its Suspected Sources of Transmission

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
In 2014, Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD) was first detected off the coast of Miami, FL, United States, and continues to persist and spread along the Florida Reef Tractr (FRT) and into the Caribbean.

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.
