2022年6月9日 · A new deadly coral disease, known as stony coral tissue loss disease, has modified the coral communities across the Caribbean region by disproportionately affecting key reef-building corals...

2022年8月1日 · Results indicate that cumulative impacts of coral diseases outbreaks in the last two decades, in synergy with the effects of coastal development and thermal stressors, have decreased significantly cover and abundance of major reef-building corals, shifting the dominance of the coral assemblage to species belonging to non-framework weedy life his...

In 2023, the CoRAL team monitored six coral species for spawning activity: DLAB, APAL, ACER, OFAV, PSTR, and MCAV. All species monitored, except for MCAV, are hermaphroditic broadcast spawning corals that release bundles containing both eggs and sperm.

2024年12月13日 · In this project, researchers evaluated methods to increase the growth and survivorship of fragments and recruits of four species of SCTLD-susceptible species commonly used for restoration in Florida.

2023年8月23日 · Five coral-derived samples (McH-104, Mcav-2SQ, CnH-101-Mar, CnD-22, and McH-103-4) returned fewer than 300 raw sequences per sample and were considered “failed” samples and removed from analysis. The remaining 50 …

Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD), was first observed near Virginia Key in late 2014, and has since spread to the northernmost extent of the Florida Reef Tract, and south throughout much of the Florida Keys.

Spawning observations and gamete collections were made for the coral species Diploria labyrinthiformis (DLAB) in April, Acropora palmata (APAL) and A. cervicornis (ACER) in July and August, and Orbicella faveolata (OFAV), Montastraea cavernosa (MCAV), and Pseudodiploria strigosa (PSTR) in August and September of 2022.
