The paper examines gene expression responses of coral hosts and their symbionts to thermal stress, finding hosts show stronger responses than symbionts, with symbionts exhibiting greater plasticity when free-living.

The paper identifies gene expression patterns associated with disease resistance and long-term growth in corals from a marine sanctuary, showing no trade-off between resistance and calcification.

This study examines gene expression changes in coral species after Hurricane Harvey, finding oxidative stress responses and sub-lethal stress from poor water quality.

This study examines how thermal stress affects coral mucus composition and antibacterial properties, finding increased protein, lipid content, and antibacterial activity in bleached corals.
