The paper identifies probiotic potential in the microbiome of Orbicella faveolata corals that may contribute to resilience against stony coral tissue loss disease.

This paper documents the severe decline of Florida's pillar coral population due to SCTLD and highlights the success of in situ and ex situ conservation efforts.

The paper analyzes metabolomic profiles of four stony coral species to identify inter- and intraspecies variation in host and endosymbiont-derived pathways related to disease resistance.

The paper uses metabolomics to identify metabolic markers of stony coral tissue loss disease in Montastraea cavernosa, revealing differences between healthy, diseased, and recovered corals.
