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 ...

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 ...

Heat stress reduces the contribution of diazotrophs to coral holobiont nitrogen cycling

Anders Meibom, Nils Rädecker, Claudia Isabella Pogoreutz, Gabriela Hannah Holligan Perna

Efficient nutrient cycling in the coral-algal symbiosis requires constant but limited nitrogen availability. Coral-associated diazotrophs, i.e., prokaryotes capable of fixing dinitrogen, may thus support productivity in a stable coral-algal symbiosis but c ...

Heat stress destabilizes symbiotic nutrient cycling in corals

Anders Meibom, Nils Rädecker, Claudia Isabella Pogoreutz

Recurrent mass bleaching events are pushing coral reefs worldwide to the brink of ecological collapse. While the symptoms and consequences of this breakdown of the coral–algal symbiosis have been extensively characterized, our understanding of the underlyi ...

Vibrio coralliilyticus infection triggers a behavioural response and perturbs nutritional exchange and tissue integrity in a symbiotic coral

Anders Meibom, Louise Helene Soegaard Jensen, Emma Mary Gibbin

Under homoeostatic conditions, the relationship between the coralPocillopora damicornisandVibrio coralliilyticusiscommensal. An increase in temperature, or in the abundance ofV. coralliilyticus, can turn this association pathogenic,causing tissue lysis, ex ...

Fine-Scale Skeletal Banding Can Distinguish Symbiotic from Asymbiotic Species among Modern and Fossil Scleractinian Corals

Anders Meibom, Jaroslaw Hubert Stolarski

Understanding the evolution of scleractinian corals on geological timescales is key to predict how modern reef ecosystems will react to changing environmental conditions in the future. Important to such efforts has been the development of several skeleton- ...

Antioxidant plasticity and thermal sensitivity in four types of Symbiodinium sp

Thomas Krüger

Warmer than average summer sea surface temperature is one of the main drivers for coraltemperature is one of the main drivers for coral bleaching, which describes the loss of endosymbiotic dinoflagellates (genus: Symbiodinium) in reef-building corals. Past ...
