Global increases in coral disease prevalence have been linked to ocean warming through
changes in coral‐associated bacterial communities, pathogen virulence and immune system …

Microplastic pollution is an increasing threat to coral reefs, which are already strongly
challenged by climate change-related heat stress. Although it is known that scleractinian …

Freshwater mussels, aquatic keystone species, are in global decline. Long life spans,
sedentary lifestyles, and unique reproductive strategies involving obligate parasitic stages …

This study explored the physiological responses of the coral Pocillopora damicornis to high
nitrate concentrations and thermal stresses. The expression of heat shock proteins Hsp60 …

The red gorgonian Paramuricea clavata is a fundamental ecosystem engineer of
coralligenous biocenosis in the Mediterranean Sea, where it plays crucial ecological …

The intensity and frequency of coral bleaching events have increased worldwide especially
due to thermal stress and seawater pollution. Although it has been observed that metal …

Coral bleaching represents the most serious threat to contemporary coral reefs. In response,
focus is being laid on understanding the cellular processes involved in the response of …

Osmotic stress represents a limiting physical parameter for marine organisms and especially
for sessile scleractinian corals which are known to be basically stenohaline and …

Due to the increasing frequency and severity of the coral bleaching events in the context of
global warming, there is an urgent need to improve our understanding of the susceptibility of …

Heat shock proteins are biomarkers commonly used to determine the effects of abiotic
stresses on the physiology of reef building corals. In this study the effectiveness of the Hsp60 …
