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 …

Coral microbiomes are critical to holobiont health and functioning, but the stability of host–
microbial interactions is fragile, easily shifting from eubiosis to dysbiosis. The heat-induced …

The swiftly changing climate presents a challenge to organismal fitness by creating a
mismatch between the current environment and phenotypes adapted to historic conditions …

The coral holobiont is a complex ecosystem consisting of coral animals and a highly diverse
consortium of associated microorganisms including algae, fungi, and bacteria. Several …

Coral-associated microorganisms are essential for maintaining the health of the coral
holobiont by participating in nutrient cycling and protecting the coral host from pathogens …

Animal development is an inherently complex process that is regulated by highly conserved
genomic networks, and the resulting phenotype may remain plastic in response to …

Bacterial communities are fundamental symbionts of corals. However, the process by which
bacterial communities are acquired across the life history of corals, particularly in larval and …

Reef‐building corals form associations with a huge diversity of microorganisms, which are
essential for the survival and well‐being of their host. While the acquisition patterns of …

Background Reef-building corals, the foundation of tropical coral reefs, are vulnerable to
climate change eg ocean acidification and elevated seawater temperature. Coral …

Contamination of perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) is ubiquitously detected in various
environments. However, their potential effects on microbial communities remain largely …
