Creator:

Thurber, Rebecca Vega, Burkepile, Deron E., Correa, Adrienne M. S., Thurber, Andrew R., Shantz, Andrew A., Welsh, Rory, Pritchard, Catharine, and Rosales, Stephanie

Abstract:

What is killing the corals? Viral and bacterial interrogations using metagenomics and microscopy

Creator:

Soffer, Nitzan

Abstract:

Corals have multiple roles in maintaining ocean health and are some of the world’s most diverse ecosystems. The coral animal is host to a multitude of taxa, including symbiotic dinoflagellate algae, fungi, bacteria, protists, and viruses. Environmental stressors and disease agents can perturb the delicate balance of the coral host...

Reef Microbiomes of Mo'orea, French Polynesia, a Socio-Ecological Island System

Creator:

McConnell, Kaitlin M.

Abstract:

At a time of rapid global change, a socio-ecological system (SES) approach can provide a framework through which to quantify and communicate the risks and uncertainties of coupled human-natural systems. Islands, and tropical coral reef islands in particular, can be excellent models for SES research since they may be considered...
