Higher survival in chimeras. Chimeras lose plasticity and express/frontload genes at a higher level responsive to stress. Frontloading = higher baseline expression but reduced plasticity associated with stress response; dampening = reduced expression plasticity, e.g. dampening of metabolic processing genes during stress response. Can have a mix of frontloading or dampening. Found chimeric state influenced frontloading and plasticity. https://bmcbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12915-022-01371-7

Mechanisms of epigenetic signal transmission: replicative transmission (transmitted across mitosis), reconstructive transmission (signals are erased across mitosis, but are regenerated by second epigenetic signal; ncRNAs, biophysical properties, 3D genome organization, transcription factor binding), and paramutation (transmission of epigenetic information from one allel or locus to its pair on a sister chromosome; horizontal transfer of epigenetic information).

Smith et al. 2023Biological Impacts of Marine HeatwavesAnnual Review of Marine ScienceReview, marine heatwave, climate change, warming, marine ecosystemsReview and synthesis of marine heatwave effects. MHW = When temps exceed the 90th percentile of local climatology for five days or more. Under stress, organisms use cellular thermal stress response and adjust metabolism to conserve energy. If organism can't move, it may respond by helping deficit with feeding or decreased repro investment. Complex life cycles mean organisms will respond individually to MHWs. There are multiple pressure points (parent and offspring devel. stages) for spawning organisms for example. Positive outcome = priming, negative outcome = reduced investment. Response dependent on disturbance history. Could provide benefits for non native species during MHWs. In coral reefs, some events provide thermal protection. Larger colonies may be less tolerant, affecting reproductive output. Mesocosms could be useful resaerch systems to look at more realistic situations.

Virbrio was co-occurent between symbionts and bacteria as well as Synechococcus, may be attributed to DMSP degradation pathways. Vibrio could influence nitrogen and DMSP degradation. DMSP confers protection to ROS and protect against pathogens. Other taxa capable of DMSP degradatino are Alteromonas, Synechococcus, Flavobacteriaceae, and Rhodobacteraceae.

Allen-Waller & Barott2023Symbiotic dinoflagellates divert energy away from mutualism during coral bleaching recoverySymbiosisBleaching, Cladocopium, Durusdinium, translocation, isotope, pHA) Without stress, coral investment in symbiont photosynthesis and growth produces returns in photosynthetically fixed carbon translocated to the coral. B) After a bleaching event reduces symbiont population density, symbionts may invest in their own cell division and regrowth at the expense of translocating fixed carbon to the coral. The coral is left with fewer resources for its own growth and recovery while maintaining a smaller but growing symbiont population. Coral symbiont thermotolerance confers no nutritional advantage to hosts during heat treatment. Symbionts at higher density sequester a greater share of the carbon they fixed. After bleaching, symbionts can divert photosynthate from the mutualism to their own cell division. This would exaccerbate energetic deficit for corals after bleaching. Regardless of treatment, corals hosting C incorporated more fixed carbon than D colonies. Hawaii 2023, Mcap2022https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s13199-023-00901-3

Different types of fatty acids were enriched in sperm as compraed to eggs (more n-3 fatty acids in sperm and more PCs in bundles). Neutral lipids are long term energy storage and polar lipids are structural and membrane lipids. Fatty acid composition changes by developmental stage and symbiotic state.

Measured total lipids by Thin Layer Chromatography. Used MALDI for localization. Fatty acids measured through GCMS. Neutral lipids were higher in eggs and polar lipids were not different in total amount between eggs and sperm. PC content higher in eggs then sperm. There were sperm specific lipids.

Mantanona and DeCarlo2023Coral growth persistence amidst bleaching eventsLimnology and Oceanography LettersBleaching, growth, calcification, thermal stressRaman spectrometry to assess biogeochemical response of corals that survived bleaching (before, during, and after). Corals upregulate calcifying fluid saturation state during bleaching and for 2 years after recovery. There is unexpected resilience during bleaching despite decreasing energy reserves. Used coral skeleton cores and back calculated saturation state. There were higher extension rates after bleaching than before. May result from reduced negative competition between symbionts and host for inorganic carbon needed for P and for growth. The loss of symbionts would decrease proton gradient between coral and seawater, making the conversion of HCO3- to H+ and CO32- more favorable and elevate saturation state. This may change under OA however. But there is a permanent shift in calcification that occurs after bleaching. This may be because symbionts do not fully recover. Or symbionts may be shuffled to thermally tolerant genera. This would change energy dynamics and decreased carbon fixation and therefore more DIC left for host. The changes could also be driven by the host and shift to more nighttime calcification than daytime. https://aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/lol2.10340

Roik et al. 2023Trade-offs in a reef building coral after six years of thermal acclimationbioRxivTrade offs, Pocillopora acuta, thermal stress, cool, metabolic rates, biomass, physiology, growthLong term exposure of P. acuta to 31°C in comparison with others in a cooler regime. At high temp, corals had higher metabolic rates and higher biomass and energy reserves than ambient corals. There was a shift to higher lipid build up at high temp. But there was decreased skeletal growth and higher density skeletons. This could impact reef function and growth. Symbionts at 31°C were compromised with lower energy reserves, possibly an exploitation by the host and lower stress resilience. There is a difference in long vs short term acclimation.

Evensen et al. 2023The roles of heating rate, intensity, and duration on the response of corals and their endosymbiotic algae to thermal stressJEMBEThermal stress, symbiosis, Acropora, Porites, Red Sea, photophysiologyMeasured FvFm in corals exposed to acute or prolonged heat stress. Thermal thresholds were higher in corals that were from a higher variability site. There were minimal differences in density, chl a, and host protein between sites. Thermal history likely shapes thermal tolerance. Good example of dose response curves. Repeated measures of live physiology helps detect subtle differences in tolerance over time. Rapid heating a time above 34C was most damaging to physiology. Rapid heat could limit capacity to expel symbionts fast enough and/or may compromise immunity or overwhelm capacity for CSR.

Heat stress promoted inflammatory FA biosyntehsis in the host and inhibited FA biosynthesis in symbiont. Nitrate enrichment also disrupted FA biosynthesis n host and symbiont. However, ammonium enrichment promotes anti-inflammatory FA biosynthesis in symbionts and translcation to the host, allowing corals to better endure heat stress. "This phenomenon might be due to short-term heat stress and ammonium enrichment promoted translocation rate of photosynthetic products in Symbiodiniaceae (Rosic et al., 2014; Ezzat et al., 2015; Rädecker et al., 2021), subsequently might render Symbiodiniaceae to transfer more lipids to coral hosts (Dunn et al., 2012)." <- look at this for Mcap2021.
