Population Genomics for Coral Reef Restoration—A Case Study of Staghorn Corals in Micronesia

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 18, Issue 6, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Staghorn Acropora corals are ecological keystone species in shallow lagoons and back reef habitats throughout the tropics. Their widespread decline coupled with their amenability for asexual propagation propelled them to the forefront of global coral restoration efforts—albeit frequently without much scientific input.

Invertebrate Bile Acid‐Sensitive Ion Channels and Their Emergence in Bilateria

The FASEB Journal, Volume 39, Issue 8, 30 April 2025.
This graphical abstract presents the evolutionary distribution and functional characteristics of bile acid‐sensing ion channels (BASICs) across bilaterians. A phylogenetic tree illustrates the presence of BASICs in diverse groups, extending beyond previously established mammalian findings.

Genomic Insights From Natural History Collections Reveal Cryptic Speciation in Coral Guard Crabs (Family: Trapeziidae)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2025.
We explored the evolutionary history of Trapezia crabs, key coral mutualists, using genomic data from museum and freshly collected samples. We recovered a well‐supported phylogeny of the Trapezia genus, clarifying species relationships and supporting the division of Trapezia into two genera. Detailed analyses of the widespread species T.

Bias associated with the detectability of the coral-eating pest crown-of-thorns seastar and implications for reef management [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2017
Outbreaks of the predator crown-of-thorns seastar (COTS) Acanthaster planci cause widespread coral mortality across the Indo-Pacific. Like many marine invertebrates, COTS is a nocturnal species whose cryptic behaviour during the day can affect its ...

Growth of Juvenile Acanthaster planci (L.) in the Laboratory [PDF]

, 1974
Seven juvenile Acanthaster planci were reared from fertilized eggs to sexual maturity in 18 to 21 months in the laboratory. Four-month-old juveniles, about 8 mm in total diameter, began to transform into coral predators from the prior herbivore stage ...

Pembelajaran Pengelolaan Terumbu Karang di Sekitar Lokasi Pengeboran Minyak dan Gas Lapangan Tiaka, Tomori Sulawesi Tengah [PDF]

, 2015
Offshore oil drilling creates impacts to marine ecosystem, not only to the lives in the water column but also tobenthic organisms. Coral reefs is one indicator that is prone to physical and chemical impacts of oil drilling.

The 27–year decline of coral cover on the Great Barrier Reef and its causes [PDF]

, 2012
This study investigates the spatial and temporal dynamics of coral cover, identifies the main drivers of coral mortality, and quantifies the rates of potential recovery of the Great Barrier Reef.The world’s coral reefs are being degraded, and the need to

Early life stage bottleneck determines rates of coral recovery following severe disturbance

Ecology, Volume 106, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract Understanding how foundation species recover from disturbances is key for predicting the future of ecosystems in the Anthropocene. Coral reefs are dynamic ecosystems that can undergo rapid declines in coral abundance following disturbances. Understanding why some reefs recover quickly from these disturbances whereas others recover slowly (or ...

Carotenoids in Marine Invertebrates Living along the Kuroshio Current Coast

Marine Drugs, 2011
Carotenoids of the corals Acropora japonica, A. secale, and A. hyacinthus, the tridacnid clam Tridacna squamosa, the crown-of-thorns starfish Acanthaster planci, and the small sea snail Drupella fragum were investigated. The corals and the tridacnid clam
