Gene expression of Pocillopora damicornis coral larvae in response to acidification and ocean warming

Objectives The endosymbiosis with Symbiodiniaceae is key to the ecological success of reef-building corals. However, climate change is threatening to destabilize this symbiosis on a global scale. Most studies looking into the response of corals to heat str ...

Excess labile carbon promotes diazotroph abundance in heat-stressed octocorals

Claudia Isabella Pogoreutz

Nitrogen limitation is the foundation of stable coral-algal symbioses. Diazotrophs, prokaryotes capable of fixing N-2 into ammonia, support the productivity of corals in oligotrophic waters, but could contribute to the destabilization of holobiont function ...

The Reef Environment Centralized InFormation System (RECIFS) : An integrated geo‐environmental database for coral reef research and conservation

Stéphane Joost, Oliver Michele Selmoni

Motivation: Host to intricate networks of marine species, coral reefs are among the most biologically diverse ecosystems on Earth. Over the past few decades, major degradations of coral reefs have been observed worldwide, which is largely attributed to the ...

Photobiology and metabolic interactions in the symbiotic jellyfish Cassiopea

Niclas Heidelberg Lyndby

The symbiont-bearing jellyfish Cassiopea live a benthic lifestyle, positioning themselves upside-down on sediments in shallow waters to allow their endosymbiotic algae to photosynthesize in the sunlight. Over the last decades Cassiopea has become increasin ...

A roadmap to understanding diversity and function of coral reef-associated fungi

Claudia Isabella Pogoreutz

Tropical coral reefs are hotspots of marine productivity, owing to the association of reef-building corals with endosymbiotic algae and metabolically diverse bacterial communities. However, the functional importance of fungi, well-known for their contribut ...

Worldwide analysis of reef surveys sorts coral taxa by associations with recent and past heat stress

Stéphane Joost, Oliver Michele Selmoni, Véronique Berteaux-Lecellier

Coral reefs around the world are under threat from anomalous heat waves that are causing the widespread decline of hard corals. Different coral taxa are known to have different sensitivities to heat, although variation in susceptibilities have also been ob ...

Contrasting Microbiome Dynamics of Putative Denitrifying Bacteria in Two Octocoral Species Exposed to Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) and Warming

Nils Rädecker, Claudia Isabella Pogoreutz

Mutualistic nutrient cycling in the coral-algae symbiosis depends on limited nitrogen (N) availability for algal symbionts. Denitrifying prokaryotes capable of reducing nitrate or nitrite to dinitrogen could thus support coral holobiont functioning by limi ...

Integrating environmental variability to broaden the research on coral responses to future ocean conditions

Cristina Martin Olmos, Nils Rädecker

Our understanding of the response of reef-building corals to changes in their physical environment is largely based on laboratory experiments, analysis of long-term field data, and model projections. Experimental data provide unique insights into how organ ...

Seascape genomics reveals candidate molecular targets of heat stress adaptation in three coral species

Stéphane Joost, Oliver Michele Selmoni, Véronique Berteaux-Lecellier

Anomalous heat waves are causing a major decline of hard corals around the world and threatening the persistence of coral reefs. There are, however, reefs that have been exposed to recurrent thermal stress over the years and whose corals appear to have bee ...

In situ eutrophication stimulates dinitrogen fixation, denitrification, and productivity in Red Sea coral reefs

Nils Rädecker, Hal Hunt Jones II

Eutrophication (i.e. the increase of [in-]organic nutrients) may affect the functioning of coral reefs, but knowledge about the effects on nitrogen (N) cycling and its relationship to productivity within benthic reef communities is scarce. Thus, we investi ...
