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 ...

Estimation of the growth and survival rate of various species of corals (Pocillopora damicornis) and (Acropora calthrata) during the use of Biorock technology in the Chabahar Bay [PDF]
Using the electric field in the biorock method increases the growth and survival rate in a wide variety of coral species. In this regard, we evaluated the effects biorock method on the growth and survival of coral Acropora calthrata and Pocillopora ...

Effects of reduced dissolved oxygen concentrations on physiology and fluorescence of hermatypic corals and benthic algae. [PDF]
While shifts from coral to seaweed dominance have become increasingly common on coral reefs and factors triggering these shifts successively identified, the primary mechanisms involved in coral-algae interactions remain unclear. Amongst various potential

Region-wide temporal and spatial variation in Caribbean reef architecture: is coral cover the whole story? [PDF]
The architectural complexity of coral reefs is largely generated by reef-building corals, yet the effects of current regional-scale declines in coral cover on reef complexity are poorly understood.

Spatial distribution and feeding substrate of butterflyfishes (family Chaetodontidae) on an Okinawan coral reef [PDF]
Coral reefs support diverse communities, and relationships among organisms within these communities are quite complex. Among the relationships, clarifying the habitat association and foraging substrate selection relative to habitat characteristics is of ...

Are infestations of Cymomelanodactylus killing Acropora cytherea in the Chagos archipelago? [PDF]
Associations between branching corals and infaunal crabs are well known, mostly due to the beneficial effects of Trapezia and Tetralia crabs in protecting host corals from crown-of-thorns starfish (e.g., Pratchett et al.
