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...

Impacts of Environmental Change on a Newly-characterized Symbiosis between a Novel Bacterial Parasite, Genus Aquarickettsia, and the Coral Acropora cervicornis

Creator:

Klinges, J. Grace

Abstract:

Coral reef ecosystems continue to be significantly altered by disease epizootics, but why some host populations remain resistant while others succumb to outbreaks remains unknown. Research across diverse animal and plant host systems has revealed that disease severity is strongly influenced by host genetics and by environmental influences on both...
