Concentrations, sources, and biological consumption of acrylate and DMSP in the tropical Pacific and coral reef ecosystem in Mo’orea, French Polynesia

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Shallow-water coral reefs hold large quantities of acrylate and its precursor dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP), but production and removal processes for these compounds are poorly characterized.

Two divergent haplogroups of a sacsin-like gene in Acropora corals

Scientific Reports, 2021
Reef-building corals are declining due to environmental changes. Sacsin is a member of the heat shock proteins and has been reported as a candidate protein associated with the stress response in Acropora corals.

New recruitment of staghorn corals in the Gulf of Mannar – the emergence of a resilient coral reef

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2019
Coral Reefs in Gulf of Mannar is degrading with fatser rate due to several environmental stress over the past few decades. Under this severe degredation phase, our work has observed significant coral recruitment at Hare Island and Manoli & Manoliputti ...

Acropora cervicornis and Acropora palmata cultured on a low maintenance line nursery design in The Bahamas.

PLoS ONE, 2022
Acroporid corals are one of the most important corals in the Caribbean because of their role in building coral reefs. Unfortunately, Acropora corals have suffered a severe decline in the last 50 years thus prompting the development of many restoration ...

New records of coral diseases in the Persian Gulf

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2019
We report first observations of three coral diseases including black band disease on Acropora, a syndrome resembling yellow band disease and red band disease on Porites colonies from depth 5–6 m at Abu-Musa Island  after widespread coral bleaching in the

Biological controls to manage Acropora-eating flatworms in coral aquaculture

Aquaculture Environment Interactions, 2020
Coral aquaculture is expanding to supply the marine ornamental trade and active coral reef restoration. A common pest of Acropora corals is the Acropora-eating flatworm Prosthiostomum acroporae, which can cause colonial mortality at high infestation ...

Using Seawater to Document Coral-Zoothanthella Diversity: A New Approach to Coral Reef Monitoring Using Environmental DNA

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Frequent, high-density coral monitoring is essential to understand coral reef ecosystems. For this purpose, we developed a novel method for simultaneous monitoring of Acropora corals and their symbiont, Symbiodinium, from environmental DNA (eDNA) in ...

Comparative genomics highlight the importance of lineage-specific gene families in evolutionary divergence of the coral genus, Montipora

BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Background Scleractinian corals of the genus Montipora (Anthozoa, Cnidaria) possess some unusual biological traits, such as vertical transmission of algal symbionts; however, the genetic bases for those traits remain unknown.
