Thermal pre-treatment of algal symbiont species differentially affects coral development

Maria Ruggeri, Samuel A. Bedgood, Jun Cai, Jennifer Qian et autres

Abstract The foundation of coral reef ecosystems centered around the nutritional relationship between corals and intracellular algal symbionts. Although these symbioses are highly obligate for coral hosts, many partnerships are re-established anew with each coral generation. Furthermore, climate change destabilizes the symbiosis, …

Mesophotic octocoral larval settlement preferences and behaviors

Mark McCauley, Julia Johnstone, William G. Jenkins, Jayci Grosso et autres

Abstract Introduction Lab‐based coral reproduction is advancing restoration efforts to support coral populations injured by the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Objectives This study aimed to answer foundational questions concerning coral spawning and larval settlement that need to be resolved for these …

Characterization and validation of EHR computable phenotypes for Long COVID using patient-reported symptoms: insights from the nationwide RECOVER program

Victor M Castro, Vivian Gainer, Nich Wattanasin, Andrew Cagan et autres

OBJECTIVE: Long COVID (LC) remains poorly understood, and there is a critical need for advanced computational tools to better identify and characterize patients. In this study, we use summarized symptom reports by RECOVER-Adult cohort participants linked to EHR data to characterize patients …

Long-read nanopore shotgun metagenomic DNA sequencing for river biodiversity, wildlife, pollution, and environmental health monitoring

Orestis Nousias, Fiona G. Duffy, Isabelle J. Duffy, Mark McCauley et autres

Abstract As the human population expands and global temperatures rise, species, populations, and biodiversity decline at unprecedented rates, while the frequency of infectious disease emergence increases. Therefore, it is more vital than ever to accurately understand the current state of natural habitats …

Counts for egg release and juvenile survival for the mesophotic octocorals Swiftia exserta and Thesea nivea

Mark McCauley

From 2021-2023, fragments of the mesophotic octocorals Swiftia exserta and Thesea nivea were collected from the continental shelf offshore from Texas to Florida and transported to a federal facility in Florida. Multiyear spawning allowed for in-depth analysis of spawning periodicity, egg development, …

Cnidarian–algal partnerships structure bacterial communities during strobilation in Cassiopea xamachana

Federica Montesanto, Mark McCauley, Samuel A. Bedgood, Cody Miner et autres

Abstract Cnidarian–algal (Symbiodiniaceae) symbioses rely on complex interactions among the cnidarian host, algal symbionts, and associated bacterial communities. In the upside-down jellyfish Cassiopea xamachana, the polyp-to-medusa transition (strobilation) requires the establishment of symbiosis with Symbiodiniaceae algal partners, yet bacterial community dynamics during …

Ecophysiology of two mesophotic octocorals intended for restoration: Effects of light and temperature

Kassidy Lange, Allisan Aquilina‐Beck, Mark McCauley, Julia Johnstone et autres

Abstract Light and temperature are driving forces that shape the evolution and physiology of mesophotic organisms. On the Mississippi‐Alabama continental shelf, octocorals dominate the mesophotic seascape and provide habitat for many fish and invertebrate species. Gaps in knowledge regarding the fundamental physiological …

Shotgun sequencing of airborne eDNA achieves rapid assessment of whole biomes, population genetics and genomic variation

Orestis Nousias, Mark McCauley, Maximilian R. Stammnitz, Jessica Farrell et autres

Biodiversity and its associated genetic diversity are being lost at an unprecedented rate. Simultaneously, the distributions of flora, fauna, fungi, microbes and pathogens are rapidly changing. Novel technology can help to capture and record genetic diversity before it is lost and to …

A cost and community perspective on the barriers to microbiome data reuse

Julia M. Kelliher, L. Johnson, Francisca E. Rodriguez, Jaclyn K. Saunders et autres

Microbiome research is becoming a mature field with a wealth of data amassed from diverse ecosystems, yet the ability to fully leverage multi-omics data for reuse remains challenging. To provide a view into researchers' behavior and attitudes towards data reuse, we surveyed …

Same data, different analysts: variation in effect sizes due to analytical decisions in ecology and evolutionary biology

Elliot Gould, Hannah Fraser, Timothy Parker, Shinichi Nakagawa et autres

Although variation in effect sizes and predicted values among studies of similar phenomena is inevitable, such variation far exceeds what might be produced by sampling error alone. One possible explanation for variation among results is differences among researchers in the decisions they …
