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 …

Global warming and local eutrophication simultaneously lower oxygen (O2) saturation and
increase biological O2 demands to cause deoxygenation. Tropical shallow waters, and their …

Human populations have been concentrated along and exploiting the coastal zones for
millennia. Of regions with the highest human impacts on the oceans, 6 of the top 10 have …

Microbialization refers to the observed shift in ecosystem trophic structure towards higher
microbial biomass and energy use. On coral reefs, the proximal causes of microbialization …

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 …

Coral reefs are suffering unprecedented declines worldwide. Most studies focus on stressors
such as rising temperatures, nutrient pollution, overfishing, and ocean acidification as …

Lysogens are common at high bacterial densities, an observation that contrasts with the
prevailing view of lysogeny as a low‐density refugium strategy. Here, we review the …

Recent work has shown that hydrophilic and hydrophobic organic matter (OM) from algae
disrupts the function of the coral holobiont and promotes the invasion of opportunistic …

Benthic primary producers in marine ecosystems may significantly alter biogeochemical
cycling and microbial processes in their surrounding environment. To examine these …

Corals and macroalgae release large quantities of dissolved organic matter (DOM), one of
the largest sources of organic matter produced on coral reefs. By rapidly taking up DOM and …
