Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Bleaching was most prevalent on inshore reefs and on shallower transects within reefs, and Coral genera with the highest levels of bleaching were also among the rarest (<1% of coral cover) in 2015.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological and molecular characterization of a coral black band disease outbreak in the Red Sea during a bleaching event.
Ghaida Hadaidi,Maren Ziegler,Amanda Shore-Maggio,Thor Jensen,Greta S. Aeby,Christian R. Voolstra +5 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that BBD represents a global coral disease with predictable etiology, and provides a baseline assessment of BBD disease prevalence in the Red Sea, a still understudied region.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparative baseline of coral disease in three regions along the Saudi Arabian coast of the central Red Sea.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted disease surveys at 22 reefs within three regions (Yanbu, Thuwal, Al Lith) in the central Red Sea along the Saudi Arabian coast.
Journal ArticleDOI
First record of crustose coralline algae diseases in the Red Sea
Posted ContentDOI
A comparative baseline of coral disease across the central Red Sea
Greta S. Aeby,Amanda Shore,Thor Jensen,Maren Ziegler,Maren Ziegler,Thierry M. Work,Christian R. Voolstra,Christian R. Voolstra +7 more
TL;DR: The Red Sea is a unique environment for corals with a strong environmental gradient characterized by temperature extremes and high salinities, but minimal terrestrial runoff or riverine input and their associated pollution as discussed by the authors.
