Comparative analysis of the expanding genomic resources for scleractinian corals may provide insights into evolution these organisms, with implications their continued persistence under global climate change. Here, we sequenced and annotated genome Pocillopora damicornis, one most abundant widespread in world. We compared this genome, based on protein-coding gene orthology, other publicly available coral genomes (Cnidaria, Anthozoa, Scleractinia), as well from anthozoan groups (Actiniaria,...
Regulating partner abunclance may allow symmotic organisms to mediate interaction outcomes, facilitating adaptive responses environmental change. To explore the capacity for-adaptive regulation in an ecologically important endosymbiosis, we studied population dynamics of symbiotic algae reef-building corals under different abiotic contexts. We found high natural variability symbiont abundance across reefs, but this converged symbiont-specific abundances when colonies were maintained constant...
The quantum yield of fluorescence diacetyl, excited by radiation λ4047 and λ4358, has been measured found to be 0.145±0.03. It is approximately independent pressure. On the other hand, with excitation λ3650, as first observed Henriques Noyes, increases apparently from zero at pressure nearly value obtained for longer wave-length excitations a 5 cm Hg. This marked difference in effect different energies explained assuming that predissociation occurs level between those reached upon λ3650...
Abstract Corals are important models for understanding invertebrate host–microbe interactions; however, to fully discern mechanisms involved in these relationships, experimental approaches manipulating coral–bacteria associations needed. Coral‐associated bacteria affect holobiont health via nutrient cycling, metabolic exchanges and pathogen exclusion, yet it is not understood how bacterial community shifts physiology. In this study, a combination of antibiotics (ampicillin, streptomycin...
For many coral species, the obligate association with phylogenetically diverse algal endosymbiont species is dynamic in time and space. Here, we used controlled laboratory inoculations of newly settled, aposymbiotic corals ( Orbicella faveolata ) two cultured symbiont Symbiodinium microadriaticum S. minutum to examine role identity on growth, survivorship, thermal tolerance holobiont. We evaluated these data context photophysiology for 9 months post‐settlement also during a 5‐d period...
The molecular mechanisms underlying age-related declines in learning and long-term memory are still not fully understood. To address this gap, our study focused on investigating the transcriptional landscape of a singularly identified motor neuron L7 Aplysia, which is pivotal specific type nonassociative known as sensitization siphon-withdraw reflex. Employing total RNAseq analysis single isolated after short-term or (LTS) training Aplysia at 8, 10, 12 months (representing mature, late...

ABSTRACT Molecular mechanisms underlying aging associated impairments in learning and long-term memory storage are poorly understood. Here we leveraged the single identified motor neuron L7 Aplysia, which mediates a form of non-associative learning, sensitization siphon-withdraw reflex, to assess transcriptomic correlates changes learning. RNAseq analysis isolated following short-term or training 8,10 12 months old corresponding mature, late mature senescent stages, has revealed progressive...
