Over the past two decades, researchers have searched for methods to better understand the
relationship between coral hosts and their microbiomes. Data on how coral-associated …

Filamentous viruses are hypothesized to play a role in stony coral tissue loss disease
(SCTLD) through infection of the endosymbiotic dinoflagellates (Family Symbiodiniaceae) of …

Since their radiation in the Middle Triassic period∼ 240 million years ago, stony corals have
survived past climate fluctuations and five mass extinctions. Their long-term survival …

Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)-based approaches have proven to be
powerful for elucidating the metabolic basis of the cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis and …

Ocean warming and marine heatwaves induced by climate change are impacting coral reefs
globally, leading to coral bleaching and mortality. Yet, coral resistance and resilience to …

Coral reefs are known for being highly productive ecosystems in oligotrophic oceans, which
is commonly referred to as the Darwin's Paradox. Nitrogen is an essential component of …

A decade of technological advances and research on the human microbiome has re-defined
our understanding of biological systems, and now offers diagnostic tools and new …

All multicellular organisms harbor microbial symbionts (eg, protists, viruses, bacteria,
archaea, fungi), living and evolving collectively as a single biological unit termed the …

Coral and coral reefs are facing increasing existential threats to their existence as a result of
stress from human-accelerated climate change and other various human pressures (Hughes …
