• Allelochemicals produced by Caribbean macroalgae and cyanobacteria have species-specific effects on reef coral microorganisms (2011, background): “…within the marine environment varies in response to changing environmental conditions (e.g., temperature, pH, nutrients, pollutants) (Wommack et al. 1999), and bacterial symbionts may allow host organisms to respond more efficiently to these changes (Reshef et al. 2006; Rosenberg et al. 2007).”
• The Hologenome Concept: Human, Animal and Plant Microbiota (2014, background): “Apparently, a bacterium which prevents bleaching of corals by a specific pathogen spread to corals in the Eastern Mediterranean over a period of 3 years (Reshef et al. 2006; Mills et al. 2013).”
• Role of microorganisms in the evolution of animals and plants: the hologenome theory of evolution. (2008, background): “Because corals possess a restricted adaptive immune system and do not produce antibodies, we presented the coral probiotic hypothesis to explain the development of resistance to infection by V. shiloi (Reshef et al., 2006).”
• Are infectious diseases really killing corals? Alternative interpretations of the experimental and ecological data (2007, background): “One bacterial infection of corals, the infection ofOculina patagonica by Vibrio shiloi Rosenberg and Ben-Haim, 2002), has not been observed since 2004 (Reshef et al., 2006).”
• Climate change and coral reef bleaching: An ecological assessment of long-term impacts, recovery trends and future outlook (2008, background): “Reshef et al. (2006) have suggested that the failure of the bleaching pathogen Vibrio shiloi to infect previously susceptible corals is a sign of newly-developed resistance.”
• Algae-bacteria interactions: Evolution, ecology and emerging applications. (2016, background): “Many studies also prove that algae and bacteria act in unison to maintain host health as any disturbance in either community leads to coral mortality (Barott et al., 2011, 2012; Reshef et al., 2006; Rosenberg et al., 2007).”
• Coral disease following massive bleaching in 2005 causes 60% decline in coral cover on reefs in the US Virgin Islands (2009, background): “Therefore, the corals either developed a resistance to the bacteria (Reshef et al. 2006), bleaching was always a result of changing environmental conditions and not a result of bacterial infection (Ainsworth et al.”
• Summary for Policymakers (2022, positive): “” This observation is especially important, for during times of high NAO index values, there is a significant reduction in atmospheric moisture transport across southern Europe, the Mediterranean, and north Africa (Hurrell, 1995); and Richardson et al. (1999) note that this phenomenon has led to the”
