Association of red fluorescent Santia isopods with the coral-killing sponge Chalinula nematifera. a C. nematifera progression on a large living Echinopora sp. coral colony, b closeup of Echinopora sp. sponge-coral overgrowth zone with associated Santia isopods, c cluster of Santia isopods in a sponge surface hollow, scale bars: 0.4 m (a), 2.5 cm (b), 1.0 cm (c). All photographs were taken during daytime exposed by the water depth-specific natural light spectrum (without excitation/emission filters) using a commercial grade digital still camera (Panasonic DMC-TZ5, 1/2.33″ CCD sensor) and recorded in sRGB (24 bit) colour mode.

Severe disturbances can substantially alter eco-evolutionary processes and dynamics. While the impacts of catastrophic events on the biophysical attributes of communities are sometimes assessed, their effects on the genetic patterns of species remain poorly understood. To characterize how severe disturbances impact species at the molecular level, w...
