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 (SCTLD) destabilizes the coral microbiome

AbstractStony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) is a rapidly spreading lethal coral disease, the etiology of which remains poorly understood. In this study, using deep metagenomic sequencing, we investigate microbial and viral community dynamics associated with SCTLD progression in the Caribbean stony coralDiploria labyrinthiformis.

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

Ex situ treatment enhances survival and recovery from stony coral tissue loss disease in Caribbean corals

Frontiers in Marine Science
Caribbean coral reefs have experienced significant genetic loss from the effects of stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD). Since its emergence in 2014, SCTLD has spread from Florida to the Caribbean, affecting at least 25 species of scleractinian ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Survival and reinfection rates of SCTLD-affected corals treated in situ with amoxicillin

AbstractThe unprecedented mortality to Caribbean corals caused by stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) led to the use of an in-water medicine applied directly to disease lesions. This topical amoxicillin paste is highly effective in halting lesions and has been used on tens of thousands of wild corals since 2019, but long-term survival rates of ...

Microbial Community Shifts Associated With the Ongoing Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease Outbreak on the Florida Reef Tract

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
As many as 22 of the 45 coral species on the Florida Reef Tract are currently affected by stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD). The ongoing disease outbreak was first observed in 2014 in Southeast Florida near Miami and as of early 2019 has been ...
