Symbiodiniaceae density determination v1
This protocol is for determining Symbiodiniaceae density from Exaiptasia diaphana anemones or coral tissue. This protocol can (and should be) run in conjunction with others such as protein determination and nucleic acid extractions.

ABSTRACT Coral species abundance and biodiversity estimates are typically based on colony macromorphology. However, such measurements often underestimate the true diversity within coral communities because morphology does not necessarily reflect behavioral or genetic divergence. We previously reported on the unusual spawning behavior of the brain coral

Pelagic‐feeding seabirds deliver nutrient subsidies that enhance the productivity, biodiversity, and resilience of terrestrial and marine ecosystems, particularly in nutrient‐poor tropical environments. However, the biogeophysical variables governing the fluxes of these nutrients within and among interconnected ecosystems remain poorly understood.

Transgenerational inheritance of shuffled symbiont communities in the coral Montipora digitata [PDF]
Adult organisms may "prime" their offspring for environmental change through a number of genetic and non-genetic mechanisms, termed parental effects. Some coral species may shuffle the proportions of Symbiodiniaceae within their endosymbiotic communities,

Written Summary: Climate change is reshaping marine ecosystems, with the Mediterranean Sea among the most vulnerable due to warming and non‐native species such as the upside‐down jellyfish Cassiopea andromeda. We investigated the thermal tolerance and habitat suitability of its polyps, a key stage for reproduction and persistence.

Coral bleaching patterns are the outcome of complex biological and environmental networking [PDF]
© 2019 John Wiley & Sons Ltd Continued declines in coral reef health over the past three decades have been punctuated by severe mass coral bleaching-induced mortality events that have grown in intensity and frequency under climate change.

Heat Stress Drives Rapid Viral and Antiviral Innate Immunity Activation in Hexacorallia
ABSTRACT The class Hexacorallia, encompassing stony corals and sea anemones, plays a critical role in marine ecosystems. Coral bleaching, the disruption of the symbiosis between stony corals and zooxanthellate algae, is driven by seawater warming and further exacerbated by pathogenic microbes.

Heterotrophic dependence and bidirectional metabolite exchange dynamics in a temperate coral
Abstract In temperate ecosystems, where cold, turbid waters constrain symbiotic potential, corals have evolved facultative symbiosis, providing an opportunity to explore coral energetics in the face of global climate change. We conducted an in situ light exclusion experiment on the facultatively symbiotic temperate coral Astrangia poculata to explore ...
