The paper tests the impact of feces from different fish guilds on coral health, finding that grazer/detritivore feces harm corals while corallivore feces contain beneficial bacteria.

This study shows that thermal stress activates dinoRNAVs in corals, shifting them from persistent to productive infections, which may impact coral symbiosis.

This study shows coral-eating fish disperse Symbiodiniaceae symbionts through feces, which can directly contact corals, potentially aiding their acquisition.

This study shows that severe storms cause runoff that impacts sponge health and bacterial communities in offshore reefs, with evidence of wastewater contamination detected in sponges after flood events.
