The term “core microbiome” has become widely used in microbial ecology over the last
decade. Broadly, the core microbiome refers to any set of microbial taxa, or the genomic and …

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 …

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 …

Aquatic ecosystems are under increasing stress from global anthropogenic and natural
changes, including climate change, eutrophication, ocean acidification, and pollution. In this …

Ocean warming threatens corals and the coral reef ecosystem. Nevertheless, corals can be
adapted to their thermal environment and inherit heat tolerance across generations. In …

The symbiotic association between the coral animal and its endosymbiotic dinoflagellate
partner Symbiodinium is central to the success of corals. However, an array of other …

Pivotal to projecting the fate of coral reefs is the capacity of reef-building corals to
acclimatize and adapt to climate change. Transgenerational plasticity may enable some …

Seed microbiota constitutes a primary inoculum for plants that is gaining attention owing to
its role for plant health and productivity. Here, we performed a meta‐analysis on 63 seed …

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 …

Corals are considered one of the most complex microbial biospheres studied to date,
hosting thousands of bacterial phylotypes in species-specific associations. There are …
