A rapid spread of the stony coral tissue loss disease outbreak in the Mexican Caribbean. [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
Caribbean reef corals have experienced unprecedented declines from climate change, anthropogenic stressors and infectious diseases in recent decades. Since 2014, a highly lethal, new disease, called stony coral tissue loss disease, has impacted many reef-coral species in Florida.

Exploring the Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease Bacterial Pathobiome [PDF]

, 2020
ABSTRACTA devastating novel coral disease outbreak, referred to as Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD), was first described in 2014. It is thought to have originated offshore of Miami-Dade County, FL, but has persisted and spread, affecting new reefs along the Florida Reef Tract and reefs of at least 8 other Caribbean jurisdictions. We investigated

Advances in coral immunity ‘omics in response to disease outbreaks

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Coral disease has progressively become one of the most pressing issues affecting coral reef survival. In the last 50 years, several reefs throughout the Caribbean have been severely impacted by increased frequency and intensity of disease outbreaks ...

Reef Sediments Can Act As a Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease Vector

Frontiers in Marine Science, 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 ...

Changing Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease Dynamics Through Time in Montastraea cavernosa

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) is affecting corals across the Western Atlantic and displays species-specific and regional differences in prevalence, incidence, degree of mortality, and lesion morphology.

Impacts of a Regional, Multi-Year, Multi-Species Coral Disease Outbreak in Southeast Florida

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Globally coral reefs have been declining at alarming rates as a result of anthropogenic stressors, leading to increased frequency and severity of widespread bleaching and disease events. These events are often associated with increased water temperatures

Rare coral under the genomic microscope: timing and relationships among Hawaiian Montipora [PDF]

, 2019
Background Evolutionary patterns of scleractinian (stony) corals are difficult to infer given the existence of few diagnostic characters and pervasive phenotypic plasticity.

Association of butterflyfishes and stony coral tissue loss disease in the Florida Keys [PDF]

Coral Reefs, 2020
AbstractSince 2014, stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) has rapidly spread throughout the Florida reef tract infecting and killing dozens of coral species. Previous studies have found that corallivorous fishes, such as butterflyfishes, are positively correlated with coral disease prevalence at both local and regional scales. This study investigates

Effects of reduced dissolved oxygen concentrations on physiology and fluorescence of hermatypic corals and benthic algae. [PDF]

, 2014
While shifts from coral to seaweed dominance have become increasingly common on coral reefs and factors triggering these shifts successively identified, the primary mechanisms involved in coral-algae interactions remain unclear. Amongst various potential
