Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD), one of the most pervasive and virulent coral
diseases on record, affects over 22 species of reef-building coral and is decimating reefs …

Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) was initially documented in Florida in 2014 and
outbreaks with similar characteristics have since appeared in disparate areas throughout the …

Infectious diseases are an increasing threat to coral reefs, resulting in altered community
structure and hindering the functional contributions of disease-susceptible species. We …

Disease outbreaks have caused significant declines of keystone coral species. While
forecasting disease outbreaks based on environmental factors has progressed, we still lack a …

Coral disease has progressively become one of the most pressing issues affecting coral reef
survival. In the last 50 years, several reefs throughout the Caribbean have been severely …

Long-read sequencing is revolutionizing de-novo genome assemblies, with continued
advancements making it more readily available for previously understudied, non-model organisms…

Gene expression, especially in multispecies experiments, is used to gain insight into the
genetic basis of how organisms adapt and respond to changing environments. However, …

Historically mechanisms with which basal animals such as reef-building corals use to respond
to changing and increasingly stressful environments have remained elusive. However, …

Insecticide use is common in developed tropical regions where it may enter coastal reef
ecosystems through land-based sources. This local introduction of contaminants could affect …

Gene family complexity and its influence on expression dynamics has long been theorized
to be an important source of adaptation in natural systems through providing novel genetic …
