Building living systematic reviews and reporting standards for comparative microscopic analysis of white diseases in hard corals

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2024.
Diseases and disease outbreaks are increasing on coral reefs. This study systematically reviews histological methods used to study white diseases in hard coral species from 1984 to 2022 and finds inconsistencies in reporting methodologies and terminology among studies.

Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease and Other Diseases Affect Adults and Recruits of Major Reef Builders at Different Spatial Scales in the Dominican Republic

, 2022
Monitoring programs can help understand coral disease dynamics. Here, we present results from a national program in the Dominican Republic (DR) aimed at evaluating coral diseases 3 times a year following a nested spatial design.

Intersection of coral molecular responses to a localized mortality event and ex situ deoxygenation

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2024.
In July 2016, East Bank of Flower Garden Banks (FGB) National Marine Sanctuary experienced a localized mortality event (LME) of multiple invertebrate species that ultimately led to reductions in coral cover, the source of which was unknown but suspected to be related to deoxygenation. Gene expression of reef‐building corals directly following the event

Mapping global coral vulnerability to stony coral tissue loss disease: implications for biosecurity and conservation

Frontiers in Marine Science
Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD) has devastated Caribbean coral reefs since 2014, but its potential for global impact remains uncertain. We developed predictive models to assess the worldwide vulnerability of coral reefs to SCTLD under different ...

Microorganisms uniquely capture and predict stony coral tissue loss disease and hurricane disturbance impacts on US Virgin Island reefs

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 26, Issue 4, April 2024.
US Virgin Island reefs were recently impacted by major disturbances, but the ecosystem‐wide impacts are not well characterized. Therefore, we measured reef seawater nutrients and microorganisms. Over time, as the underlying reef habitat became enriched in algae, the overlying seawater ecosystem became enriched in ammonium and certain heterotrophic ...

Data_Sheet_2_Reef Sediments Can Act As a Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease Vector.xlsx

, 2022
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 ...

Overcoming barriers to reef restoration: field‐based method for approximate genotyping of Acropora cervicornis

Restoration Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2024.
Reef restoration efforts aim to enhance resilience by safeguarding the genetic diversity of coral populations. This could be facilitated by genotyping methods that are relatively inexpensive, and field‐based. A potential method for assessing coral genotypic diversity arises from self‐recognition phenomena.

Image_1_Similarities and Differences Between Two Deadly Caribbean Coral Diseases: White Plague and Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease.JPEG

, 2021
For several decades, white plagues (WPDs: WPD-I, II and III) and more recently, stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) have significantly impacted Caribbean corals.

Reskinning of large Orbicella faveolata in the wake of SCTLD

, 2022
Stony corals (Scleractinia spp.) are a critically important group of species that engineered the foundation of Florida’s Coral Reef (FCR) over 10,000 years ago.
