The paper characterizes the eukaryotic diversity in coral reef environments, revealing high diversity and identifying environmental drivers shaping these communities.

The paper investigates the diversity and distribution of Apicomplexa across marine environments using metabarcoding data, revealing previously unknown diversity and biogeographic patterns.

The paper analyzes corallicolid parasites in Pocillopora corals across the Pacific Ocean, finding their widespread presence and linking their abundance to environmental factors and host immune responses.

This study assesses the microbial biosynthetic potential of reef-building corals using genome-resolved metagenomics, revealing host-specific microbiomes with high biotechnological value.

The paper shows density increases network connectedness in wild animal populations, but effects saturate, with stronger spatial than social impacts.

The paper analyzes global ocean data to show that physical and biological patchiness are decoupled, using variance slope to quantify spatial patterns.

The paper analyzes genetic divergence in three coral species across a Pacific environmental gradient, showing species-specific evolutionary patterns despite similar environments.

The paper reports higher gene counts in two coral genomes due to tandem duplications, suggesting a role in immune system and disease resistance.

The paper uses dual RNAseq to study the kinetics of skin microbiome and host response to T. maritimum infection in fish, finding immune gene upregulation in resistant individuals.

This paper develops a field-friendly framework for characterizing coral holobionts using nanopore sequencing and bioinformatics pipelines, revealing reef-scale bacterial networks and host-specific associations.
