The paper assesses antimicrobial resistance genes in Caribbean corals before and after amoxicillin treatment, finding no significant changes in resistance gene expression or microbial communities.

The paper identifies probiotic potential in the microbiome of Orbicella faveolata corals that may contribute to resilience against stony coral tissue loss disease.

The paper characterizes a novel coral disease in Florida Orbicella corals through multidisciplinary methods and defines it as Orbicella acute tissue loss disease.

This study tracks survival and reinfection rates of SCTLD-treated corals in situ, finding 84% survival after three years and species/habitat-specific differences in disease-free periods and reinfection likelihood.

This paper documents the severe decline of Florida's pillar coral population due to SCTLD and highlights the success of in situ and ex situ conservation efforts.

This study examines the impact of the 2023 marine heatwave on Florida Keys corals, finding that most corals survived but some species and sites experienced significant mortality and unusual lesions.

The paper assesses population dynamics and asexual reproduction of a rare coral and its symbiont using microsatellite markers, revealing distinct population structures and threats from climate stress.
