Effects of surface geometry on light exposure, photoacclimation and photosynthetic energy acquisition in zooxanthellate corals Open
Symbiotic corals display a great array of morphologies, each of which has unique effects on light interception and the photosynthetic performance of in hospite zooxanthellae. Changes in light availability elicit photoacclimation responses …

Phenotypic plasticity for improved light harvesting, in tandem with methylome repatterning in reef‐building corals Open
Acclimatization through phenotypic plasticity represents a more rapid response to environmental change than adaptation and is vital to optimize organisms' performance in different conditions. Generally, animals are less phenotypically plas…

Evaluation of the current understanding of the impact of climate change on coral physiology after three decades of experimental research Open
After three decades of coral research on the impacts of climate change, there is a wide consensus on the adverse effects of heat-stress, but the impacts of ocean acidification (OA) are not well established. Using a review of published stud…
Modulation of the symbionts light environment in hospite in scleractinian corals Open
The upregulation of animal chromoproteins (CPs) during thermal stress produces “colorful” bleached corals that facilitate coral recovery after bleaching. In situ measurements indicate that animal CPs present in coral tissues reduce the ele…
Photosynthetic usable energy explains vertical patterns of biodiversity in zooxanthellate corals Open
The biodiversity in coral reef ecosystems is distributed heterogeneously across spatial and temporal scales, being commonly influenced by biogeographic factors, habitat area and disturbance frequency. In contrast to terrestrial environment…
A Road Map for the Development of the Bleached Coral Phenotype Open
Mass coral bleaching compromises the long-term persistence of coral reefs, yet our current understanding of the different cellular mechanisms leading to the development of a bleached coral is still limited. In this perspective, we mapped t…
Linking photoacclimation responses and microbiome shifts between depth-segregated sibling species of reef corals Open
Metazoans host complex communities of microorganisms that include dinoflagellates, fungi, bacteria, archaea and viruses. Interactions among members of these complex assemblages allow hosts to adjust their physiology and metabolism to cope …
Declining Importance of Herbivores in Structuring a Heavily Impacted Urban Coral Reef near Cartagena Bay, Colombia Open
Coral reefs are beginning to experience conditions unlike any in recent history. Understanding ecosystem function on future reefs will require reassessing ecological processes under novel environmental regimes. For many coastal reefs, seve…
The role of the endolithic alga Ostreobium spp. during coral bleaching recovery Open
In this study, we explore how the Caribbean coral Orbicella faveolata recovers after bleaching, using fragments from 13 coral colonies exposed to heat stress (32 °C) for ten days. Biological parameters and coral optical properties were mon…

Physiological and ecological consequences of the water optical properties degradation on reef corals Open
Degradation of water optical properties due to anthropogenic disturbances is a common phenomenon in coastal waters globally. Although this condition is associated with multiple drivers that affect corals health in multiple ways, its effect…

An algal symbiont (<i>Breviolum psygmophilum</i>) responds more strongly to chronic high temperatures than its facultatively symbiotic coral host (<i>Astrangia poculata</i>) Open
Scleractinian corals form the foundation of coral reefs by secreting skeletons of calcium carbonate. Their intracellular algal symbionts (Symbiodiniaceae) translocate a large proportion of photosynthate to the coral host, which is required…

Increasing comparability among coral bleaching experiments Open
Coral bleaching is the single largest global threat to coral reefs worldwide. Integrating the diverse body of work on coral bleaching is critical to understanding and combating this global problem. Yet investigating the drivers, patterns, …
Surviving marginalized reefs: assessing the implications of the microbiome on coral physiology and survivorship Open
Coral reefs are undergoing degradation due to overexploitation, pollution, and climate change. Management and restoration efforts require that we gain a better understanding of the complex interactions between corals, their microbiomes, an…
