Nitrogen cycling in corals: the key to understanding holobiont functioning?
Corals are animals that form close mutualistic associations with endosymbiotic
photosynthetic algae of the genus Symbiodinium. Together they provide the calcium …

Coral-associated bacteria demonstrate phylosymbiosis and cophylogeny
Scleractinian corals' microbial symbionts influence host health, yet how coral microbiomes
assembled over evolution is not well understood. We survey bacterial and archaeal …

The pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis disturbs the frog skin microbiome during a natural epidemic and experimental infection
Symbiotic microbial communities may interact with infectious pathogens sharing a common
host. The microbiome may limit pathogen infection or, conversely, an invading pathogen can …

[HTML][HTML] Adding insult to injury: Effects of chronic oxybenzone exposure and elevated temperature on two reef-building corals
Coral bleaching due to global warming currently is the largest threat to coral reefs, which
may be exacerbated by altered water quality. Elevated levels of the UV filter oxybenzone in …

Multiple opportunistic pathogens can cause a bleaching disease in the red seaweed Delisea pulchra
While macroalgae (or seaweeds) are increasingly recognized to suffer from disease, in most
cases the causative agents are unknown. The model macroalga Delisea pulchra is …
