Global diversity and distribution of coral-associated protists

This study presents the first global survey of coral-associated microbial eukaryotes, revealing greater diversity than the coral bacterial microbiome and identifying new lineages and potential pathogens.

Habitat and Hydrodynamics Influence Coral Reef and Seagrass Microbial and Exometabolite Dynamics

The paper examines how habitat and hydrodynamics affect microbial and exometabolite dynamics in coral reef and seagrass ecosystems.

Characterizing gene expression profiles of various tissue states in stony coral tissue loss disease using a feature selection algorithm

This paper uses a supervised machine learning framework to identify genes associated with SCTLD progression in coral and its algal symbionts, revealing metabolic and immune shifts in disease states.

Advancing Reef Monitoring Techniques through Exometabolomics: Quantification of Labile Dissolved Organic Metabolites on Coral Reefs

This study quantifies polar exometabolites on coral reefs using chemical derivatization and mass spectrometry, identifying 23 previously undetected metabolites and showing geographic variability.
