Warming exacerbates fungal pathogenicity to drive physiological collapse and microbiome reorganization in octocorals

This study shows that ocean warming increases fungal pathogenicity in octocorals, leading to physiological collapse and microbiome reorganization.

Coral Probiotics Buffer Adjacent Ecosystem-Level Responses to Extreme Marine Heatwave

This study shows coral probiotics reduce ecosystem-level impacts of marine heatwaves by maintaining biodiversity and microbial interactions in adjacent communities.

Pathogen priming reveals host immune training and microbiome conditioning in corals

This study shows that coral immune priming through pathogen exposure improves resilience to heat stress and infection, mediated by microbiome changes and gene expression modulation.
