Transgenerational inheritance of shuffled symbiont communities in the coral Montipora digitata [PDF]
, 2019 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,

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 6, December 2025.This study demonstrates that the eukaryome of the Mediterranean octocoral Corallium rubrum exhibits high variability, and the dominance of certain taxa is influenced by spatiotemporal environmental factors. Despite this, core microeukaryotic families, such as Licnophoridae and Dino‐Group I Clade 1, were consistently present, suggesting key roles in the

Assessing Molecular Localization of Symbiont Microalgae in Coral Branches Through Mass Spectrometry Imaging [PDF]
Reef-building corals are a fundamental pillar of coral reef ecosystems in tropical and subtropical shallow environments. Corals harbor symbiotic dinoflagellates belonging to the family Symbiodiniaceae, commonly known as zooxanthellae.

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 6, December 2025.Reef microbiomes before the arrival of stony coral tissue loss disease (vulnerable stage) during the outbreak (epidemic) and after (endemic). Microbial diversity, network metrics, and functional potential varied among apparently healthy corals and the surrounding water and sediments across the stages.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.ABSTRACT Coral reefs around the world are increasingly threatened by rising ocean temperatures, leading to more frequent mass bleaching events. However, some corals, typically found in more thermally variable environments, have demonstrated resilience to thermal stress.

Genomic conservation and putative downstream functionality of the phosphatidylinositol signalling pathway in the cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis. [PDF]
The mutualistic cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis underpins the evolutionary success of stony corals and the persistence of coral reefs. However, a molecular understanding of the signalling events that lead to the successful establishment and ...

Characterizing the NF-κB pathway of the innate immune system in the sea anemone Exaiptasia pallida [PDF]
, 2020 Coral reefs are unique and globally important ecosystems that provide vital services to marine life as well as to human health and the economy. The survival of the reef ecosystem is based upon an endosymbiotic relationship between the coral and a ...

Mechanisms for the Persistence of the Coral Holobiont in the Warming Oceans of the Anthropocene [PDF]
, 2019 Coral Reefs are rapidly deteriorating in response to an onslaught of human-mediated stressors. Just one stressor alone, climate change, may extirpate coral reef ecosystems within a human lifetime, threatening societal and ecological catastrophe.

Recurring Episodes of Thermal Stress Shift the Balance from a Dominant Host-Specialist to a Background Host-Generalist Zooxanthella in the Threatened Pillar Coral, Dendrogyra cylindrus [PDF]
, 2019 Most scleractinian corals form obligate symbioses with photosynthetic dinoflagellates (family Symbiodiniaceae), which provide differential tolerances to their host. Previously, research has focused on the influence of symbiont composition and the dynamic
