Disentangling the impacts of macroalgae on corals via effects on their microbiomes
CS Clements, ME Hay - Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 - frontiersin.org
Tropical reefs are commonly transitioning from coral to macroalgal dominance, but the role
of macroalgae in coral decline remains inadequately understood. A growing body of …

Assessing the contribution of bacteria to the heat tolerance of experimentally evolved coral photosymbionts
Coral reefs are extremely vulnerable to ocean warming, which triggers coral bleaching—the
loss of endosymbiotic microalgae (Symbiodiniaceae) from coral tissues, often leading to …

Inoculation with Roseovarius increases thermal tolerance of the coral photosymbiont, Breviolum minutum
Coral reefs are diverse marine ecosystems that have tremendous ecological and cultural
value and support more than 25% of eukaryote marine biodiversity. Increased ocean …
