Highlights of an epic collaboration between my lab, Blue Indigo Foundation, Ecomares, UM Lowell, Croalina, and PIMS! We're testing new probiotic candidates ex situ if they can protect outplants from #SCTLD and if a promising one can protect corals in situ. The experiemts are currently running...

Assessment of antibiotic resistance genes in Caribbean corals, including those treated with amoxicillin - Coral Reefs The decimation of reefs from stony coral tissue loss disease prompted the use of a topical amoxicillin treatment to prevent coral mortality. Application of this treatment led to concerns about uninten...

Leveraging machine learning to classify and characterize gene expression patterns in two coral diseases

The Mydlarz Lab has a second coral machine learning paper out this month! @emily-vanburen.bsky.social developed a diagnostic tool that classifies two coral diseases: white plague and #SCTLD. 463 genes, some involved in inflammation and protein trafficking, characterized the diseases.

Our recent paper in @FrontMarineSci explores the progression rate of #SCTLD in P. strigosa. We found 70% of mortality, but rates of tissue loss differed among colonies. The disease tended to spread faster in large and vertically compressed colonies

Our paper in @CommsBio @NaturePortfolio shows that the #SCTLD is likely to become the most lethal disturbance ever recorded in the Caribbean, and it will likely result in the onset of a new functional regime defined by the dominance of low relief corals

The Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease #SCTLD is rampaging several species of Caribbean corals. This study in @FrontMarineSci shows how it spread in two months across Cozumel, resulted in c.50% coral cover loss and was followed by a rapid increase of algae.

New publication on the effects of #SCTLD outbreak in the #Caribbean. In a period of only eight months, we observed rapid coral mortality, significant changes in the coral community and reductions in carbonate production.
