This study shows that the coral parasite Candidatus Aquirickettsia rohweri resists antibiotics and thermal stress in disease-susceptible Acropora cervicornis, suggesting antibiotic treatment may not disrupt its dominance.

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

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

This study links terrigenous nutrient inputs to microbial community structure and nutrient dynamics in tropical lagoons through analysis of macroalgal nitrogen content and water chemistry.

The paper uses transcriptomic data to analyze Puffy Snout Syndrome in Pacific Mackerel, identifying gene expression patterns linked to tumorigenesis and immune response in captive versus wild fish.

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