Holobiont Evolution: Mathematical Model with Vertical vs. Horizontal Microbiome Transmission [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
A holobiont is a composite organism consisting of a host together with its microbiome, such as a coral with its zooxanthellae. To explain the often intimate integration between hosts and their microbiomes, some investigators contend that selection ...

Screening by coral green fluorescent protein (GFP)-like chromoproteins supports a role in photoprotection of zooxanthellae

open access: yes, 2013
Green fluorescent protein (GFP)-like pigments are responsible for the vivid colouration of many reef-building corals and have been proposed to act as photoprotectants.

Zooxanthellae expelled from bleached corals at 33°C are photosynthetically competent [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
While a number of factors have been linked to coral bleaching, such as high light, high temperature, low salinity, and UV exposure, the best explanation for recent coral bleaching events are small temperature excursions of 1 to 2°C above summer sea ...

Building like a Coral—Parallelized, Multiscale Biofabrication

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 17, 20 March 2026.
Corals build stiff, strong, and inherently circular skeletal materials under resource‐ and energy‐limited conditions—offering blueprints for transformative materials. We synthesize the current understanding of coral biomineralization and reframe coral growth as a multiscale, parallelized biofabrication process.

Acidification-induced cellular changes in Symbiodinium isolated from Mussismilia braziliensis.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
Dinoflagellates from the Symbiodiniaceae family and corals have an ecologically important endosymbiotic relationship. Scleractinian corals cannot survive for long periods without their symbionts.

Mitigating the seductive details effect by topic and irrelevance signals

open access: yesBritish Journal of Educational Psychology, Volume 96, Issue 1, Page 382-400, March 2026.
Abstract Background Seductive details (interesting digressions in learning materials) are often integrated into learning units to make them more appealing to learners. However, studies indicate that this tends to overload students cognitively and impairs their learning performance. Aims The present study investigated whether these negative consequences

Coral Disease and Health Workshop: Coral Histopathology II [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The health and continued existence of coral reef ecosystems are threatened by an increasing array of environmental and anthropogenic impacts. Coral disease is one of the prominent causes of increased mortality among reefs globally, particularly in the ...

Individual and Interactive Effects of Ocean Warming and Acidification on Adult Favites colemani

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Tropical coral reefs are threatened by local-scale stressors that are exacerbated by global ocean warming and acidification from the post-industrial increase of atmospheric CO2 levels.

The Ecological Mechanism of Coral–Algal Phase Shifts: A Case Study of Wenchang in Hainan Province

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study selected the coral reef areas in the coastal waters of Wenchang, Hainan, China, which were significantly affected by human activities. Through four consecutive years of field investigations, the key driving factors and potential mechanisms of ecological phase shifts between corals and macroalgae were identified, thus providing a scientific ...

Fluorescent protein-mediated colour polymorphism in reef corals: multicopy genes extend the adaptation/acclimatization potential to variable light environments

open access: yes, 2015
The genomic framework that enables corals to adjust to unfavourable conditions is crucial for coral reef survival in a rapidly changing climate. We have explored the striking intraspecific variability in the expression of coral pigments from the green ...
