Varied effects of algal symbionts on transcription factor NF-κB in a sea anemone and a coral: possible roles in symbiosis and thermotolerance [PDF]
Many cnidarians, including the reef-building corals, undergo symbiotic mutualisms with photosynthetic dinoflagellate algae of the family Symbiodiniaceae.

Gene expression of endangered coral (Orbicella spp.) in flower garden banks National Marine Sanctuary after Hurricane Harvey [PDF]
About 190 km south of the Texas–Louisiana border, the East and West Flower Garden Banks (FGB) have maintained > 50% coral cover with infrequent and minor incidents of disease or bleaching since monitoring began in the 1970s.

Genome evolution of Symbiodiniaceae [PDF]
Symbiotic interactions between dinoflagellates (Symbiodiniaceae) and corals give rise to the ecological complexity and biodiversity of reef ecosystems. Comparative genomic studies can aid in tracing the evolutionary history of these dinoflagellates, and thus elucidate the evolutionary forces that drove their diversification and adaptation as ...

Healthy coral communities can be found on artificial structures (concrete walls and riprap) within the Port of Miami (PoM), Florida. These communities feature an unusually high abundance of brain corals, which have almost entirely vanished from nearby ...

Rare coral under the genomic microscope: timing and relationships among Hawaiian Montipora [PDF]
Background Evolutionary patterns of scleractinian (stony) corals are difficult to infer given the existence of few diagnostic characters and pervasive phenotypic plasticity.

Unlocking the phylogenetic diversity, primary habitats, and abundances of free-living Symbiodiniaceae on a coral reef. [PDF]
Dinoflagellates of the family Symbiodiniaceae form mutualistic symbioses with marine invertebrates such as reef-building corals, but also inhabit reef environments as free-living cells.

Protocol for the generation of Symbiodiniaceae mutants using UV mutagenesis [PDF]
Genetic approaches are limited in the dinoflagellate family, Symbiodiniaceae, causing a bottleneck in the discovery of useful mutants toward the goal of preventing future coral bleaching events. In this protocol, we demonstrate the application of UV exposure, coupled with downstream phenotypic screening and mutant isolation, to form a UV mutagenesis ...

Metabolic profiling of environmental stress in Scleractinian corals [PDF]
Ben Gordon studied the effects of environmental stress on the metabolome of reef-building corals. His research produced the first extraction and analysis protocol for coral metabolomics and identified machine learning methods to classify the functional ...
