Highlights•Ecosystem services provided by corals are important for Blue Economy, but
anthropogenic stressors threaten coral survival.•Potential of coral holobiont-derived Natural …

The current coral reefs crisis is motivating a number of innovative projects attempting to
leverage new mechanisms to avoid coral bleaching, reduce coral mortality and restore …

Pigments homologous to the green fluorescent protein (GFP) have been proposed to fine-
tune the internal light microclimate of corals, facilitating photoacclimation of photosynthetic …

Fluorescence is highly prevalent in reef-building corals, nevertheless its biological role is
still under ongoing debate. This feature of corals was previously suggested to primarily …

Corals have the ability to synthesize various pigments, responsible for their characteristic
vivid coloration. Most coral host pigments are green fluorescent protein (GFP)-like pigments …

Light pollution is a pervasive global stressor to natural systems. However, due to the
proximity of human activities along the coasts and open ocean, light is a pervasive yet …

Studies on the trophic ecology of scleractinian corals often include stable isotope analyses
of tissue and symbiont carbon and nitrogen. These approaches have provided critical …

Reef building corals are efficient biological collectors of solar radiation and consist of a thin
stratified tissue layer spread over a light scattering calcium carbonate skeleton surface that …

The coral holobiont is underpinned by complex metabolic exchanges between different
symbiotic partners, which are impacted by environmental stressors. The chemical diversity of …

The upregulation of animal chromoproteins (CPs) during thermal stress produces “colorful”
bleached corals that facilitate coral recovery after bleaching. In situ measurements indicate …
