Saving the Last Unicorns: The Genetic Rescue of Florida’s Pillar Corals
As stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) swept through the Florida Reef Tract, one of the most severely impacted species was the iconic pillar coral, Dendrogyra cylindrus.

Land cover change that leads to increased nutrient and sediment runoff is an important driver of change in coral reef ecosystems. In this study, we combined satellite remote sensing and field monitoring to assess concomitant changes in watershed land cover and coral cover in northeastern Puerto Rico in 2000–2015.

Testing a site‐prioritisation framework to maximise survival of seeded corals
The framework tested can improve the efficiency of seeded‐coral deployments by increasing average survival through site selection for most taxa, thereby reducing the number of deployed spat needed to achieve a target outcome. Species‐specific weighting of factors was unnecessary for many Acropora species, but may be important for other taxa.

Oxygen Deprivation Implicated in Rapid Coral Mortality Under Acute Heating Events
When corals were exposed to rapid heating, oxygen around their tissues fell sharply before the tissues broke down and the corals died. Similar tissue breakdown occurred when corals were deprived of oxygen without heating, while stronger water flow delayed the damage by improving oxygen delivery.

Abstract Aquaculture has increasingly turned toward plant extracts' usage as functional additives, owing to their rich content of bioactive compounds that enhance growth performance, boost immune responses, and improve antioxidant capacity in cultured species.

Monitoring Corals from Rescue to Care with ArcGIS and Flickr
This article intervenes in disaster media research by investigating the complex system of mediation that is required to mitigate coral disease and to monitor coral rescue and care. Stony coral tissue loss disease, discovered in 2014, has rapidly infected

Abstract Oxygen is critical for nearly all life on Earth, including aquatic species that breathe dissolved oxygen in both freshwater and marine systems. The rapid, global, and anthropogenic loss of dissolved oxygen known as “aquatic deoxygenation” threatens life in these environments, the human communities that depend on them, and Earth system ...

Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) has devastated Florida’s Coral Reef since 2014, affecting many endangered coral species and particularly Orbicella faveolata. While there exists anecdotal evidence of disease resistance in O. faveolata populations,

ABSTRACT Understanding the impact of microbial interactions on plants is critical for maintaining healthy native ecosystems and sustainable agricultural practices. Despite the reality that genetically distinct plants host multiple microbes of large effect in the field, it remains unclear the extent to which host genotypes modulate non‐additive ...
