Rapid decline in pH of coral calcification fluid due to incorporation of anthropogenic CO2

Scientific Reports, 2017
Marine calcifying organisms, such as stony corals, are under threat by rapid ocean acidification (OA) arising from the oceanic uptake of anthropogenic CO2.

Transcriptomic Resilience of the Montipora digitata Holobiont to Low pH

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017
Ocean acidification is considered as one of the major threats for coral reefs at a global scale. Marine calcifying organisms, including stony corals, are expected to be the most affected by the predicted decrease of the surface water pH at the end of the

Impacts of stony coral tissue loss disease on the persistence of Caribbean cleaner gobies

Frontiers in Marine Science
Because they serve as the main architects of coral reefs, the distribution and abundance of stony coral species have major impacts on other associated community members. Thus, coral diseases can have significant cascading effects throughout the ecosystem.

Ineffectiveness of topical antibiotics in treating Acropora spp. affected by white diseases

Frontiers in Marine Science
For many decades, white band disease (WB) and white pox disease (WPX) have been severely impacting populations of the reef building corals Acropora palmata and A. cervicornis throughout the Caribbean region.

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

Frontiers in Marine Science
The 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.
