| contents | dominance and Vibrionaceae stability underpin resilience in urban coral . Ruiz-Toquica, Jordan Franco Herrera, Andrés Medina, Mónica Animals Anthozoa Microbiota RNA, Ribosomal, 16S Coral Reefs Colombia Ecosystem Seasons Coral resilience varies across species, with some exhibiting remarkable stability and adaptability, often mediated by their associated microbiomes. Given the species-specific nature of coral-microbiome interactions, investigating the microbiomes of urban-adapted corals provides critical insights into the health, dynamics, and functioning of coral holobionts. In this study, we examined the microbiome of , a Caribbean coral from Santa Marta, Colombia, across contrasting environmental conditions. Over two years, we compared the microbiomes of healthy and stressed coral colonies from two distinct reef habitats-urban and protected-using 16S rRNA gene sequencing (V4 region) to assess microbial diversity. Our findings revealed microbial richness and diversity were primarily influenced by seasonal and local factors rather than host-specific traits such as interaction with algae, health status, or microhabitat. These variations were not substantial enough to disrupt the overall microbial community structure, which remained stable across temporal and spatial scales. Dominant taxa included , along with Vibrionaceae and Rhodobacteraceae, which form dense ecological interaction networks. Notably, nutrient and oxygen levels emerged as key drivers of microbiome fluctuations, yet Vibrionaceae populations exhibited exceptional temporal stability. These findings highlight the presence of a well-structured and resilient coral microbiome with minimal seasonal variability, even in urban-influenced environments. We propose that the dominance of and the stability of Vibrionaceae populations play a pivotal role in maintaining microbiome balance, ultimately contributing to the ecological resilience of in dynamic reef habitats. |
