Unprecedented evidence for high viral abundance and lytic activity in coral reef waters of the South Pacific Ocean

Creator:: Payet, Jérôme P., McMinds, Ryan, Burkepile, Deron E., and Thurber, Rebecca L. Vega
Abstract:: Despite nutrient-depleted conditions, coral reef waters harbor abundant and diverse microbes; as major agents of microbial mortality, viruses are likely to influence microbial processes in these ecosystems. However, little is known about marine viruses in these rapidly changing ecosystems. Herewe examined spatial and short-term temporal variability in marine viral abundance...

Viral Outbreak in Corals Associated with an In Situ Bleaching Event: Atypical Herpes-Like Viruses and a New Megavirus Infecting Symbiodinium

Creator:: Correa, Adrienne M. S., Ainsworth, Tracy D., Rosales, Stephanie M., Thurber, Andrew R., Butler, Christopher R., and Thurber, Rebecca L. Vega
Abstract:: Previous studies of coral viruses have employed either microscopy or metagenomics, but few have attempted to comprehensively link the presence of a virus-like particle (VLP) to a genomic sequence. We conducted transmission electron microscopy imaging and virome analysis in tandem to characterize the most conspicuous viral types found within the...

Two distinct microbial communities revealed in the sponge Cinachyrella

Creator:: Cuvelier, Marie L., Blake, Emily, Mulheron, Rebecca, McCarthy, Peter J., Blackwelder, Patricia, Thurber, Rebecca L. Vega, and Lopez, Jose V.
Abstract:: Marine sponges are vital components of benthic and coral reef ecosystems, providing shelter and nutrition for many organisms. In addition, sponges act as an essential carbon and nutrient link between the pelagic and benthic environment by filtering large quantities of seawater. Many sponge species harbor a diverse microbial community (including...

Sewage pollution: mitigation is key for coral reef stewardship

Creator:: Wear, Stephanie L. and Thurber, Rebecca Vega
Abstract:: Coral reefs are in decline worldwide, and land-derived sources of pollution, including sewage, are a major force driving that deterioration. This review presents evidence that sewage discharge occurs in waters surrounding at least 104 of 112 reef geographies. Studies often refer to sewage as a single stressor. However, we show...

Microbial community structure and dynamics in restored subtropical seagrass sediments

Creator:: Bourque, Amanda S., Vega-Thurber, Rebecca, and Fourqurean, James W.
Abstract:: Microorganisms in seagrass sediments facilitate many key ecosystem processes, yet current knowledge of microbial facilitation of seagrass community recovery following disturbance or restoration is limited. We studied microbial community responses to restoration of a subtropical seagrass meadow disturbed by vessel groundings in south Florida, USA, and relationships between microbial communities...

Disturbance Driven Colony Fragmentation as a Driver of a Coral Disease Outbreak

Creator:: Brandt, Marilyn E., Smith, Tyler B., Correa, Adrienne M. S., and Vega-Thurber, Rebecca
Abstract:: In September of 2010, Brewer's Bay reef, located in St. Thomas (U.S. Virgin Islands), was simultaneously affected by abnormally high temperatures and the passage of a hurricane that resulted in the mass bleaching and fragmentation of its coral community. An outbreak of a rapid tissue loss disease among coral colonies...

Macroalgae Decrease Growth and Alter Microbial Community Structure of the Reef-Building Coral, Porites astreoides

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:: With the continued and unprecedented decline of coral reefs worldwide, evaluating the factors that contribute to coral demise is of critical importance. As coral cover declines, macroalgae are becoming more common on tropical reefs. Interactions between these macroalgae and corals may alter the coral microbiome, which is thought to play...

Hidden state prediction: a modification of classic ancestral state reconstruction algorithms helps unravel complex symbioses

Creator:: Zaneveld, Jesse R. R. and Thurber, Rebecca L. V.
Abstract:: Complex symbioses between animal or plant hosts and their associated microbiotas can involve thousands of species and millions of genes. Because of the number of interacting partners, it is often impractical to study all organisms or genes in these host-microbe symbioses individually. Yet new phylogenetic predictive methods can use the...
