Coral reefs globally are increasingly impacted by climate change. High temperature and p
CO2 levels disrupt multiple physiological and biochemical pathways in marine organisms …

Recent research has explored the possibility that increased sea-surface temperatures and
decreasing pH (ocean acidification) contribute to the ongoing decline of coral reef …

Coral reefs are one of the most diverse and productive ecosystems on the planet, yet they
have suffered tremendous losses due to anthropogenic disturbances and are predicted to …

Microbial processes largely control the health and resilience of coral reef ecosystems, and
new technologies have led to an exciting wave of discovery regarding the mechanisms by …

Corals are fundamental ecosystem engineers, creating large, intricate reefs that support
diverse and abundant marine life. At the core of a healthy coral animal is a dynamic …

Reef-building corals provide the foundation for the structural and biological diversity of coral-
reef ecosystems. These massive biological structures, which can be seen from space, are …

Over the past 2 decades, molecular techniques have established the critical role of both free-
living and host-associated microbial partnerships in the environment. Advancing research to …

Key calcifying reef taxa are currently threatened by thermal stress associated with elevated
sea surface temperatures (SST) and reduced calcification linked to ocean acidification (OA) …

Beneficial microorganisms for corals (BMCs) ameliorate environmental stress, but whether
they can prevent mortality and the underlying host response mechanisms remains elusive …

Corals associate with a diverse assemblage of microorganisms, which collectively support
the engineering of coral reefs. As reef ecosystems are experiencing unprecedented and …
