Corals associate not only with dinoflagellates, which are their algal endosymbionts and
which have been extensively studied over the past four decades, but also with a variety of …

Animals and plants are metaorganisms and associate with microbes that affect their
physiology, stress tolerance, and fitness. Here the hypothesis that alteration of the …

Background Microbiome manipulation could enhance heat tolerance and help corals
survive the pressures of ocean warming. We conducted coral microbiome transplantation …

Health and resilience of the coral holobiont depend on diverse bacterial communities often
dominated by key marine symbionts of the Endozoicomonadaceae family. The factors …

As many as 22 of the 45 coral species on the Florida Reef Tract are currently affected by
stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD). The ongoing disease outbreak was first observed …

Potential for, and limits to, adaptation to environmental changes are critical for resilience and
risk mitigation. The Mediterranean basin is a mosaic of biodiversity‐rich ecosystems long …

Diseases of tropical reef organisms is an intensive area of study, but despite significant
advances in methodology and the global knowledge base, identifying the proximate causes …

Stony corals build the framework of coral reefs, ecosystems of immense ecological and
economic importance. The existence of these ecosystems is threatened by climate change …

Coral microbiomes are critical to holobiont health and functioning, but the stability of host–
microbial interactions is fragile, easily shifting from eubiosis to dysbiosis. The heat-induced …

The swiftly changing climate presents a challenge to organismal fitness by creating a
mismatch between the current environment and phenotypes adapted to historic conditions …
