Stony corals, the engines and engineers of reef ecosystems, face unprecedented threats
from anthropogenic environmental change. Corals are holobionts that comprise the …

Anthropogenic climate change and environmental degradation destroy coral reefs, the
ecosystem services they provide, and the livelihoods of close to a billion people who …

Corals live in a complex, multipartite symbiosis with diverse microbes across kingdoms,
some of which are implicated in vital functions, such as those related to resilience against …

Animals and plants are metaorganisms and associate with microbes that affect their
physiology, stress tolerance, and fitness. Here the hypothesis that alteration of the …

Background Microbiome manipulation could enhance heat tolerance and help corals
survive the pressures of ocean warming. We conducted coral microbiome transplantation …

Beneficial microorganisms for corals (BMCs), or probiotics, can enhance coral resilience
against stressors in laboratory trials. However, the ability of probiotics to restructure the coral …

Coral reefs rely upon the highly optimized coral–Symbiodiniaceae symbiosis, making them
sensitive to environmental change and susceptible to anthropogenic stress. Coral bleaching …

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 …

Endozoicomonas are prevalent, abundant bacterial associates of marine animals, including
corals. Their role in holobiont health and functioning, however, remains poorly understood …

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 …
