Impacts of Light and Food Availability on Early Development of Cassiopea Medusae
The Cassiopea genus is an emergent focus for behavioral, ecological, and genetic research. Cassiopea ephyrae, a key intermediate in the life cycle of this benthic jellyfish, have been left out of much work on the genus.

Mitigating the seductive details effect by topic and irrelevance signals
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

Acidification-induced cellular changes in Symbiodinium isolated from Mussismilia braziliensis.
Dinoflagellates from the Symbiodiniaceae family and corals have an ecologically important endosymbiotic relationship. Scleractinian corals cannot survive for long periods without their symbionts.

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

The Coral Host Microbiome Modulates the Virulence of the Bacterial Pathogen Vibrio coralliilyticus
The coral microbiome has been shown to protect the host (bottom right panel), but dysbiosis can increase susceptibility to infection by the bacterial pathogen Vibrio coralliilyticus. Treatment of Montipora capitata coral with antibiotics induced dysbiosis, which increased infection rates of less pathogenic V. coralliilyticus strains.
