Tracking Bacterial and Viral Shifts in Three Organisms to Shed Light on the Complex Role of Microbes in Coral Reef Health

Creator:

Messyasz, Adriana

Abstract:

Stony corals are the ecosystem engineers of the vital, dynamic, and complex marine ecosystem known as coral reefs. Globally, coral reefs are undergoing degradation from multiple anthropogenic stressors. Coral reef organism holobionts, or the host along with its microbial components, are key to reef ecosystem success and functioning. Marine microbes...

Multiple Stressors Drive Changes in Coral Microbiome Diversity and Composition Demonstrating the Role of a Bacterial Symbiont in Microbial Community Sensitivity and Resilience

Creator:

Maher, Rebecca L.

Abstract:

On coral reefs, disturbances rarely occur in isolation. Global stressors such as increasing seawater temperature often coincide with local stressors like nutrient pollution. In the face of increasing anthropogenic stress, corals can function as environmental sentinels, although little is known about how multiple stressors interact to disrupt their associated bacterial...
