Defining coral bleaching as a microbial dysbiosis within the coral holobiont
A Boilard, CE Dubé, C Gruet, A Mercière… - Microorganisms, 2020 - mdpi.com
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 …

Clade D Symbiodinium in Scleractinian Corals: A “Nugget” of Hope, a Selfish Opportunist, an Ominous Sign, or All of the Above?
Clade D Symbiodinium are thermally tolerant coral endosymbionts that confer resistance to
elevated sea surface temperature and bleaching to the host. The union between corals and …

[HTML][HTML] The jellyfish Cassiopea exhibits a sleep-like state
Do all animals sleep? Sleep has been observed in many vertebrates, and there is a growing
body of evidence for sleep-like states in arthropods and nematodes [1–5]. Here we show …

The Coral Trait Database, a curated database of trait information for coral species from the global oceans
Trait-based approaches advance ecological and evolutionary research because traits
provide a strong link to an organism's function and fitness. Trait-based research might lead …

Limits to the thermal tolerance of corals adapted to a highly fluctuating, naturally extreme temperature environment
Naturally extreme temperature environments can provide important insights into the
processes underlying coral thermal tolerance. We determined the bleaching resistance of …
