Coral microbiome dynamics, functions and design in a changing world
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 …

Conservation biology needs a microbial renaissance: a call for the consideration of host-associated microbiota in wildlife management practices
The central aim of conservation biology is to understand and mitigate the effects of human
activities on biodiversity. To successfully achieve this objective, researchers must take an …

Adapting with microbial help: microbiome flexibility facilitates rapid responses to environmental change
Animals and plants are metaorganisms and associate with microbes that affect their
physiology, stress tolerance, and fitness. Here the hypothesis that alteration of the …

Considerations for maximizing the adaptive potential of restored coral populations in the western Atlantic
Active coral restoration typically involves two interventions: crossing gametes to facilitate
sexual larval propagation; and fragmenting, growing, and outplanting adult colonies to …

Coral bacterial community structure responds to environmental change in a host-specific manner
The global decline of coral reefs heightens the need to understand how corals respond to
changing environmental conditions. Corals are metaorganisms, so-called holobionts, and …

[HTML][HTML] Metaorganisms in extreme environments: do microbes play a role in organismal adaptation?
From protists to humans, all animals and plants are inhabited by microbial organisms. There
is an increasing appreciation that these resident microbes influence the fitness of their plant …

Symbiodiniaceae‐bacteria interactions: rethinking metabolite exchange in reef‐building corals as multi‐partner metabolic networks
The intimate relationship between scleractinian corals and their associated microorganisms
is fundamental to healthy coral reef ecosystems. Coral‐associated microbes …

Coral microbiome composition along the northern Red Sea suggests high plasticity of bacterial and specificity of endosymbiotic dinoflagellate communities
Background The capacity of reef-building corals to tolerate (or adapt to) heat stress is a key
factor determining their resilience to future climate change. Changes in coral microbiome …

Metabolomic signatures of coral bleaching history
Coral bleaching has a profound impact on the health and function of reef ecosystems, but
the metabolomic effects of coral bleaching are largely uncharacterized. Here, untargeted …

Symbiodiniaceae photophysiology and stress resilience is enhanced by microbial associations
Symbiodiniaceae form associations with extra-and intracellular bacterial symbionts, both in
culture and in symbiosis with corals. Bacterial associates can regulate Symbiodiniaceae …
