DOI: 10.1007/s00338-019-01783-y
Abstract: Rapid climate change due to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions is pushing corals to and past their physiological limits, while their microbiome is being pressed towards dysbiosis. Microbes greatly influence the health and functioning of corals,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00338-021-02152-4
Abstract: Despite their recognized importance in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, marine fungi, especially those associated with host organisms, remain poorly studied. Corals contain diverse communities of microbes that play important roles in adapting to disturbance and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-10560-2
Abstract: Processes of cnidarian evolution, including hybridization and phenotypic plasticity, have complicated the clear diagnosis of species boundaries within the phylum. Pocillopora acuta, a species of scleractinian coral that was recently split from the widespread Pocillopora… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.adg0773
Abstract: Corals are associated with a variety of bacteria, which occur in the surface mucus layer, gastrovascular cavity, skeleton, and tissues. Some tissue-associated bacteria form clusters, termed cell-associated microbial aggregates (CAMAs), which are poorly studied. Here,… read more here.

DOI: 10.12688/wellcomeopenres.17058.2
Abstract: Background: Pocillopora acuta is a hermatypic coral with strong ecological importance. Anthropogenic disturbances and global warming are major threats that can induce coral bleaching, the disruption of the mutualistic symbiosis between the coral host and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0192001
Abstract: Although most reef-building corals live near the upper threshold of their thermotolerance, some scleractinians are resilient to temperature increases. For instance, Pocillopora acuta specimens from an upwelling habitat in Southern Taiwan survived a nine-month experimental… read more here.

First report of successful recruitment by conjoined larvae in the brooding scleractinian coral Pocillopora acuta, southern Taiwan
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Bulletin of Marine Science"
DOI: 10.5343/bms.2021.0004
Abstract: We report the first observation of conjoined larvae (CL) in the scleractinian coral Pocillopora acuta. Colonies at an elevated temperature had a higher ratio of CL (29 °C; 1:200) than colonies at an ambient temperature… read more here.

DOI: 10.7717/peerj.5915
Abstract: Okinawa Island is located near the center of the Nansei Islands (∼24–31°N), at a relatively high latitude for coral reefs. Nevertheless, more than 80 coral genera (over 400 species) are abundant in the Nansei Islands.… read more here.
