Linking seaweed farming with coral restoration: Bioremediation boosts early coral survivorship

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
These findings improve our understanding of seaweed cultivation on coral reefs, highlighting the ways in which farmed seaweed can improve water quality and enhance early coral survival. Linking coral restoration with a commercially viable seaweed industry creates a scalable, market‐driven mechanism to overcome costly post‐settlement survival ...

Predicting Coral Offspring Survival From Reef Thermal Histories in Ningaloo World Heritage Reef

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.
Coral collection, spawning, selective breeding, larval rearing, heat stress test, using survival data and satellite‐derived sea surface temperature data to carry out a boosted regression tree analysis to predict areas of expected higher larval survival.

Whole Genome Sequencing Reveals Genetic Differences Between Symbiodiniaceae Populations Among Reproductively and Geographically Isolated Acropora Colonies in Western Australia

Ecology and Evolution
Significant genetic differentiation between Symbiodiniaceae populations in coral hosts can be induced by a range of factors including geography, latitude, depth, temperature and light utilisation.

Fecal pellets of giant clams as a route for transporting Symbiodiniaceae to corals.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Because more than 80% of species of gamete-spawning corals, including most Acroporidae species, do not inherit Symbiodiniaceae from their parents, they must acquire symbiont cells from sources in their environment. To determine whether photosynthetically

Even a slight temperature increase triggers the inhibition of Symbiodiniaceae cell division and promotes cell expulsion in the coral Acropora selago

Phycological Research, Volume 74, Issue 3, Page 224-233, July 2026.
SUMMARY Coral bleaching, characterized by the loss of Symbiodiniaceae symbionts from corals, is promoted both by acute high‐temperature events and by prolonged moderate thermal stress. However, the mechanisms responsible for decreases in Symbiodiniaceae cell densities within corals remain unclear. Symbiodiniaceae cells within corals proliferate through

Depth Influences Symbiodiniaceae Associations Among Montastraea cavernosa Corals on the Belize Barrier Reef

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
In Belize, shallow populations (10 and 16 m) of the coral species Montastraea cavernosa from the back reef and reef crest are genetically differentiated from deeper populations on the fore reef and reef wall (25 and 35 m).

Stress‐Resistant Symbiodiniaceae and Diverse Bacterial Communities Promote Coral Persistence in Variable, Multi‐Stressor Environments

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Corals living in multi‐stressor bays in Curaçao maintain stress‐tolerant symbiotic algae and specialized bacterial communities in comparison to those in nearby reefs. These findings provide insight into how Caribbean coral holobionts persist in extreme and marginal conditions and may respond under future environmental conditions.

Species‐Specific Vulnerability of Northern Red Sea Mesophotic Corals to Accelerated Warming

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.
Mesophotic reefs are often considered climate refuges, yet experimental thermal‐stress reveals species‐dependent vulnerability. Skeletal optics, energy reserves, and light environment determine bleaching severity. A depth‐generalist coral resisted stress while the mesophotic specialist bleached severely.

Rapid sexual reproduction intensifies blooms of a mixotrophic dinoflagellate

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Sexual reproduction is fundamental to the ecology and evolution of eukaryotes, yet its dynamics in microbial eukaryotes are often cryptic. Dinophysis are specialist mixotrophs that must balance prey capture, cell division, and sexual recombination during blooms, but relatively little is known about the occurrence and role of sex in their ...

Symbiotic Symbiodiniaceae mediate coral-associated bacterial communities along a natural thermal gradient

Environmental Microbiome
The coral-associated microbiome plays a vital role in the holobiont, enabling coral adaptation to diverse environments by modulating its composition and mediating interactions among its constituents.
