• Deciphering Coral Disease Dynamics: Integrating Host, Microbiome, and the Changing Environment (2020, background): “Ocean acidification is also considered a significant environmental impact affecting reef-building corals, with experimental studies showing potential shifts in coral-associated bacterial communities toward a more disease-associated state with decreasing pH (Thurber et al., 2009; Meron et al., 2011; ”
• Teleost microbiomes: the state of the art in their characterization, manipulation and importance in aquaculture and fisheries (2014, background): “…outbreaks (Snieszko, 1974; Wakabayashi, 1991; Wendelaar Bonga, 1997; Le Moullac et al., 1998; Sudo et al., 2004; Schimel et al., 2007; Freestone et al., 2008; O’Mahony et al., 2009; Thurber et al., 2009; Littman et al., 2010; Boutin et al., 2012; Verbrugghe et al., 2012; Moloney et al., 2013).”
• Effect of ocean acidification on microbial diversity and on microbe-driven biogeochemistry and ecosystem functioning (2010, background): “Vega Thurber et al. (2009) reported changes in the diversity of coral-associated microbiota, which shifts from a healthy-associated community to a community often found on diseased corals (e.g. Bacterioidetes, Fusobacteria and Fungi) after a strong decline in pH (8.1 to 6.7).”
• 40 Years of benthic community change on the Caribbean reefs of Curaçao and Bonaire: the rise of slimy cyanobacterial mats (2017, background): “Nevertheless, algae, BCM and sponges all compete for space with corals and can have negative consequences for the coral microbiome, reducing coral resilience to disturbances and reinforcing reef degradation (Vega Thurber et al. 2009; Pawlik et al. 2016).”
