Learning from the 4th global coral bleaching event in the Maldives: unravelling microbial and symbiont shifts of Acropora muricata and Porites lutea
Year: 2026
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Symbiodiniaceae communityThis study characterises the spatiotemporal dynamics of Symbiodiniaceae and bacterial communities in Acropora muricata and Porites lutea across three Maldivian reef sites (Athuruga, Thudufushi and Magoodhoo), sampled before (T0) Jan-Mar, during (T1) Apr-Jun, and after (T2) Jul-Oct the 2024 bleaching event, to identify microbial signatures associated with differential bleaching outcomes.
