Experimental Thermal Stress Increases Corallicolid Relative Abundance in the Stony Coral Pocillopora damicornis
Rising ocean temperatures disrupt previously stable coral-microbe interactions, leading to widespread coral mortality and threatening reef ecosystems worldwide. Growing evidence demonstrates the coral microbiome, including protists, plays a critical role in the host response to thermal stress. Specifically, corallicolids (Phylum: Apicomplexa) are positively correlated with thermal stress…
