Parametric, Non-Parametric And Statistical Modeling Of Stony Coral Reef Data
Like coral reefs worldwide, the Florida Reef Tract has dramatically declined within the past two decades. Monitoring of 40 sites throughout the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary has undertaken a multiple-parameter approach to assess spatial and temporal changes in the status of the ecosystem. …

Comparing Reef Bioindicators on Benthic Environments off Southeast Florida
… Agency is to develop protocols applicable to coral reefs to distinguish between the effects of local water quality and those associated with regional to global environmental change. One test case is the current-dominated southeast coast of Florida where the Delray Outfall delivers 30 million …

Ecosystem Reboot : How scientists are building an inside-out Noah’s Ark for Florida’s vanished coral reefs
In Florida, a deadly marine plague called stony coral tissue loss disease has inspired an unprecedented conservation plan: to rescue affected corals from the wild, and keep them alive in captivity, indefinitely. The idea was to make a Noah’s Ark turned inside out, evacuating corals from an …

Examining coral reef ecosystem dynamics using microorganisms and metabolites
… of biodiverse and economically important coral reef ecosystems and are also tightly connected. Metabolites are small organic compounds produced by reef organisms and are the chemical currencies exchanged by unicellular microorganisms (bacteria and archaea) within the seawater. Although …

Dynamics and implications of ROS in marine systems
… discovered that a broad diversity of sponges and corals are local hotspots of superoxide at depth. Then, I studied the distribution of superoxide in the stratified water column of the Baltic Sea and found large subsurface maxima in the aphotic zone. In the second part of this thesis, I probed the …

Marine Microbial Communities in Health and Disease: an Exploration of Marine Bacterial Associations Across Space, Time, and Potential Roles Against Pathogens in the Context of the Current Global Climate Change Scenario
… most critically threatened ecosystems worldwide, coral reefs are currently facing an unprecedented decline. This is particularly evident throughout the Caribbean Sea, where the synergistic action of natural and anthropogenic stressors resulted in phase shifts in the composition of the benthic …

Understanding the evolution of the apical organ in the early branching metazoan, Nematostella vectensis
… patterning genes between N. vectensis and stony corals, however some critical genes involved in apical organ formation were absent from the stony coral apical transcriptomes. Further, a significant divergence in the expression of apical domain genes between anthozoans and medusozoans was …

Cellular and molecular characterisation of regeneration in calcareous sponges and soft corals
… investigates the regenerative capacities of soft corals from the genus Xenia and calcareous sponges from the genus Sycon. Cnidarians, which include corals, sea anemone, and jellyfish, are renowned for their remarkable regenerative abilities. Occupying a key phylogenetic position as the sister …
