The microbiome shapes many host traits, yet the biology of microbiomes challenges
traditional evolutionary models. Here, we illustrate how integrating the microbiome into …

Anthropogenic climate change and environmental degradation destroy coral reefs, the
ecosystem services they provide, and the livelihoods of close to a billion people who …

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

In the Anthropocene, in which we now live, climate change is impacting most life on Earth.
Microorganisms support the existence of all higher trophic life forms. To understand how …

Recurrent mass bleaching events are pushing coral reefs worldwide to the brink of
ecological collapse. While the symptoms and consequences of this breakdown of the coral …

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 …

The global impacts of climate change are evident in every marine ecosystem. On coral reefs,
mass coral bleaching and mortality have emerged as ubiquitous responses to ocean …

The use of Beneficial Microorganisms for Corals (BMCs) has been proposed recently as a
tool for the improvement of coral health, with knowledge in this research topic advancing …

The recognition that all macroorganisms live in symbiotic association with microbial
communities has opened up a new field in biology. Animals, plants, and algae are now …

The symbiotic association between the coral animal and its endosymbiotic dinoflagellate
partner Symbiodinium is central to the success of corals. However, an array of other …
