Photosynthesis shapes the symbiotic relationships between cnidarians and
Symbiodiniaceae algae—with many cnidarian hosts requiring symbiont photosynthate for …

Plastic pollution is a concern in many nearshore ecosystems, and it is critical to understand
how microplastics (plastics< 5 mm in length) affect nearshore marine biota. Here, we report …

Coral reefs are faced with almost complete destruction by the end of the century due to
global warming unless humanity can cap global temperature rise. There is now a race to …

The intracellular coral–dinoflagellate symbiosis is the engine that underpins the success of
coral reefs, one of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet. However, the breakdown of …

Host-microbe interactions play crucial roles in marine ecosystems. However, we still have
very little understanding of the mechanisms that govern these relationships, the evolutionary …

As coral reefs continue to decline due to climate change and other stressors, scientists have
proposed adopting genomic tools, such as biomarkers, to aid in the conservation and …

Tropical corals construct the three-dimensional framework for one of the most diverse
ecosystems on the planet, providing habitat to a plethora of species across taxa. However …

Recent advances in molecular sequencing technology and the increased availability of
fieldable laboratory equipment have provided researchers with the opportunity to conduct …
