Ecology of Endozoicomonadaceae in three coral genera across the Pacific Ocean
Health and resilience of the coral holobiont depend on diverse bacterial communities often
dominated by key marine symbionts of the Endozoicomonadaceae family. The factors …

Integrating cryptic diversity into coral evolution, symbiosis and conservation
Understanding how diversity evolves and is maintained is critical to predicting the future
trajectories of ecosystems under climate change; however, our understanding of these …

Host transcriptomic plasticity and photosymbiotic fidelity underpin Pocillopora acclimatization across thermal regimes in the Pacific Ocean
Heat waves are causing declines in coral reefs globally. Coral thermal responses depend
on multiple, interacting drivers, such as past thermal exposure, endosymbiont community …

Telomere DNA length regulation is influenced by seasonal temperature differences in short-lived but not in long-lived reef-building corals
Telomeres are environment-sensitive regulators of health and aging. Here, we present
telomere DNA length analysis of two reef-building coral genera revealing that the long-and …

Genomic data reveals habitat partitioning in massive Porites on Guam, Micronesia
Corals in marginal reef habitats generally exhibit less bleaching and associated mortality
compared to nearby corals in more pristine reef environments. It is unclear, however, if these …

Different environmental response strategies in sympatric corals from Pacific Islands
Coral reefs are severely threatened by global and local environmental changes. However,
susceptibility to perturbations and subsequent mortality varies among coral species. In this …
