Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) is destructive and poses a significant threat to
Caribbean coral reef ecosystems. Characterized by the acute loss of coral tissue, SCTLD …

Microbial diversity has been extensively explored in reef-building corals. However, the
functional roles of coral-associated microorganisms remain poorly elucidated. Here, we …

Coral reef ecosystems are now commonly affected by major climate and disease
disturbances. Disturbance impacts are typically recorded using reef benthic cover, but this …

Covering: 1982 up to the end of 2024Marine exometabolites (EMs) are small molecules
released by marine (micro) organisms into the seawater. Collectively, all of the released …

Background Seawater microbes (bacteria and archaea) play essential roles in coral reefs by
facilitating nutrient cycling, energy transfer, and overall reef ecosystem functioning …

Over the past decades, human impacts have changed the structure of tropical benthic reef
communities towards coral depletion and macroalgal proliferation. However, how these …

Extracellular chemical cues constitute much of the language of life among marine
organisms, from microbes to mammals. Changes in this chemical pool serve as invisible …

Coral reefs are experiencing unprecedented loss in coral cover due to increased incidence
of disease and bleaching events. Thus, understanding mechanisms of disease susceptibility …

Florida's coral reefs are facing a multi-year outbreak of stony coral tissue loss disease
(SCTLD) with dramatic consequences for coral communities. However, potential …

Globally, coral reef ecosystems are undergoing significant change related to climate change
and anthropogenic activities. Yet, the Cuban archipelago of Jardines de la Reina (JR) has …
