Climate change promotes parasitism in a coral symbiosis
Coastal oceans are increasingly eutrophic, warm and acidic through the addition of
anthropogenic nitrogen and carbon, respectively. Among the most sensitive taxa to these changes …

Trophic strategy and bleaching resistance in reef-building corals
Ocean warming increases the incidence of coral bleaching, which reduces or eliminates the
nutrition corals receive from their algal symbionts, often resulting in widespread mortality. In …

Nitrate competition in a coral symbiosis varies with temperature among Symbiodinium clades
Many reef-building corals form symbioses with dinoflagellates from the diverse genus
Symbiodinium. There is increasing evidence of functional significance to Symbiodinium diversity, …

Nitrogen identity drives differential impacts of nutrients on coral bleaching and mortality
Nitrogen pollution increases the susceptibility of corals to heat-induced bleaching. However,
different forms of nitrogen (nitrate vs. ammonium/urea) may have different impacts on …

Northern mid-latitude glaciation in the Late Amazonian period of Mars: Criteria for the recognition of debris-covered glacier and valley glacier landsystem deposits
Lobate debris aprons (LDA) and lineated valley fill (LVF) have been known to characterize
the mid-latitude regions of Mars since documented by Viking; their flow-like character …

Reefs of tomorrow: eutrophication reduces coral biodiversity in an urbanized seascape
Although the impacts of nutrient pollution on coral reefs are well known, surprisingly, no
statistical relationships have ever been established between water quality parameters, coral …

Link between sewage-derived nitrogen pollution and coral disease severity in Guam
The goals of this study were to evaluate the contribution of sewage-derived N to reef flat
communities in Guam and to assess the impact of N inputs on coral disease. We used stable …
