This study shows that diel thermal variability does not improve thermal stress resistance in two endangered corals, despite physiological and gene expression responses to heat challenges.

This study examines how environmental factors influence metabolomic profiles in two cryptic lineages of Montastraea cavernosa, finding similar adaptive responses despite genetic divergence.

The study predicts coral microbiome composition using host genetics, algal symbionts, and environmental factors in Acropora millepora during a bleaching event.

This study compares spatial and temporal dynamics of microbial and Symbiodiniaceae communities in reef sediments and corals, finding persistent spatial structure despite temporal changes in sediments.

This study examines how temperature influences genetic variation in two marine snail species along a temperature gradient, finding temperature explains 9-12% of genetic differentiation.

The paper identifies three cryptic coral lineages with distinct thermal tolerance strategies by analyzing their associations with photobionts and bacteria across different reef environments.

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.
