DOI: 10.1021/acs.jnatprod.0c00203
Abstract: A new, cyclic carbonate eudesmane-type sesquiterpene, eudesmacarbonate (1), was isolated from marine filamentous cyanobacterial mats associated with apparent ingestion-related intoxications of captive bottlenose dolphins in the Florida Keys. Sequencing of 16S rDNA revealed that mats… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.13481
Abstract: Anthropogenic climate change compromises reef growth as a result of increasing temperatures and ocean acidification. Scleractinian corals vary in their sensitivity to these variables, suggesting species composition will influence how reef communities respond to future… read more here.

Environmental specialization and cryptic genetic divergence in two massive coral species from the Florida Keys Reef Tract
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Molecular Ecology"
DOI: 10.1111/mec.15931
Abstract: Broadcast‐spawning coral species have wide geographical ranges spanning strong environmental gradients, but it is unclear how much spatially varying selection these gradients actually impose. Strong divergent selection might present a considerable barrier for demographic exchange… read more here.
