Black band disease of corals is a continuing issue in the long term survival and stability of reefs.  Researchers working in Eilat, within the Red Sea, published an intriguing paper today that highlights the transmission of the disease throughout a season by closely observing the spatial patterns of infection.  Not only did they [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Macroalgae, in recent years, have become a suspected reservoir of coral disease ever since the 2006 study where small corals placed in plastic containers had 100% mortality rates within 48 hours.  After the din from the research, aquarium, and hobby community died down, people questioned if it was the methods in the experiment that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Invasive species are often the culprits behind ecosystem imbalances causing the loss of native species.  We often think of direct competition for food (say introduced Gambusia mosquitofish outcompeting native killifish here in Florida) or space (like kudzu vines overgrowing practically everything) as the sole impact that drives such imbalances, but introduced species also introduce new diseases.

Acropora species corals &#8211; elkhorn and staghorn &#8211; within the Caribbean basin are not in great shape.  I&#8217;ve written before of some intriguing research regarding raw sewage and potential links to an increase in white pox disease of these corals.  Yet white pox isn&#8217;t the only disease plaguing Caribbean stony corals &#8211; white band disease also [...]]]></description>

I noted yesterday that I was under intellectual duress.  The other half of the story from Thursday that I didnt highlight was a lecture I attended by Dr. Katie Sutherland from Rollins College, which is right here in Winter Park, FL. 
Dr. Sutherland&#8217;s work focuses on coral disease and especially white pox disease of elkhorn and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ 
So how does an oyster help a manatee survive?  Well, a single oyster probably doesnt do a darn thing to help out manatees or other animals.  But a reef of them can do a lot.
As filter feeders, oysters combat spikes in plankton populations that are tied to increased fertilizer runoff into the water.  Less plankton [...]]]></description>
