The paper tracks the impact of Stony coral tissue loss disease on coral communities at Carrie Bow Cay, Belize, showing significant mortality and shifts in species composition.

The paper describes three new species of the Microbulbifer genus using phylogenomic analysis of isolates from marine sponges and corals.

The paper characterizes the microbiome of pillar coral Dendrogyra cylindrus in Belize and Curacao, revealing regional differences and novel bacterial taxa.

This study examines how temperature affects seagrass recovery across the Western North Atlantic, finding that higher temperatures generally enhance recovery, while nutrient and herbivore interactions reduce it.

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.

This study examines transcriptomic responses to sediment stress in branching and massive corals across different locations, finding species-specific and morphological differences in gene expression.

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.
