Host-specific epibiomes of distinct Acropora cervicornis genotypes persist after field transplantation

Emily G. Aguirre et al.

Summary: This study explored the influence of host genotype and environment on host-specific epibionts in Acropora cervicornis corals. The results showed that healthy A. cervicornis genotypes retain distinct epibiome signatures through time, suggesting a strong host component. Additionally, differences in the abundances of microbial indicators (MD3-55) can be consistently detected in the epibiome of distinct host genotypes, which reinforces the potential use of microbial indicators in reef restoration efforts.

Phosphate enrichment induces increased dominance of the parasite Aquarickettsia in the coral Acropora cervicornis

J. Grace Klinges et al.

Summary: The study found that nutrient-enriched water increased total bacterial abundance, but only the addition of phosphate significantly changed the dominance of the parasite Aquarickettsia. This suggests that nutrient pollution may play a role in increasing coral disease susceptibility and severity.

The coral symbiont Candidatus Aquarickettsia is variably abundant in threatened Caribbean acroporids and transmitted horizontally

Lydia J. Baker et al.

Summary: This study investigated the infection and ecology of the symbiont Candidatus Aquarickettsia rohweri in threatened Acropora corals, finding that the infection magnitude is influenced by coral host and geographic location. Phylogenomic analysis showed clustering by geographic region, with positive selection observed in Florida populations due to greater nutrient stress. Aquarickettsia was not found to codiversify significantly with coral animal or algal symbiont, suggesting horizontal transmission as the likely route of infection.

Differential Response of the Microbiome of Pocillopora acuta to Reciprocal Transplantation Within Singapore

Lindsey K. Deignan et al.

Summary: The study monitored differences in the microbiome of Pocillopora acuta colonies reciprocally transplanted between two reefs within the Port of Singapore. Coral microbiomes responded rapidly to transplantation, becoming similar to those of the local corals at the destination reef within one day at Raffles and within two days at Kusu. Elevated nitrate concentrations at Raffles potentially influenced the microbiome's response to transplantation.

Differential survival of nursery-reared Acropora cervicornis outplants along the Florida reef tract

Robert van Woesik et al.

Summary: This study examines the survival of nursery-reared Acropora cervicornis colonies outplanted along the Florida reef tract between 2012 and 2018. Factors influencing their survival include coral-colony size at outplanting, reef habitat, geographical subregion, and the year of monitoring. Larger colonies outplanted to back-reef and fore-reef habitats in higher latitudes showed the highest survival rates, highlighting the need for refined restoration strategies.

Host-microbial systems as glass cannons: Explaining microbiome stability in corals exposed to extrinsic perturbations

Courtney M. Dunphy et al.

Summary: While coral hosts harbor persistent, species-specific microbiomes, the stability of these microbiomes varies across coral species. Microbiome regulation driven by host sanctioning can result in low resistance and resilience to invasion, leading to instability despite high direct costs to corals. Conversely, microbiome regulation associated with microbial processes can promote stability at no direct cost to corals. Understanding how processes at multiple levels of biological organization interact is critical for predicting the effects of environmental perturbations on host-microbial systems.
