Evidence for microbially-mediated tradeoffs between growth and defense throughout coral evolution

H. E. Epstein, T. Brown, A. O. Akinrinade, R. McMinds, F. J. Pollock, D. Sonett, S. Smith, D. G. Bourne, C. S. Carpenter, R. Knight, B. L. Willis, M. Medina, J. B. Lamb, R. V. Thurber, J. R. Zaneveld

This study shows that microbial symbionts, particularly Endozoicomonas, influence coral growth and disease susceptibility across 425 million years of evolution.

Inconsistent patterns of microbial diversity and composition between highly similar sequencing protocols: a case study with reef-building corals

H. E. Epstein, A. Hernandez-Agreda, S. Starko, J. K. Baum, R. Vega Thurber

This study evaluates inconsistencies in microbial diversity metrics between two similar 16S rRNA sequencing protocols used on reef-building coral samples, highlighting the need for caution when combining data from different protocols.
