Fecal pellets of giant clams as a route for transporting Symbiodiniaceae to corals.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Because more than 80% of species of gamete-spawning corals, including most Acroporidae species, do not inherit Symbiodiniaceae from their parents, they must acquire symbiont cells from sources in their environment. To determine whether photosynthetically

Fish and coral assemblages of a highly isolated oceanic island: The first eDNA survey of the Ogasawara Islands

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 6, Issue 1, January–February 2024.
The Ogasawara Islands are a highly isolated Pacific archipelago, that boasts a unique biodiversity. We conducted the first multi‐taxa environmental DNA (eDNA) survey of ray‐finned and elasmobranch fishes, as well as of Scleractinia corals. We identified 124 fish and 38 coral taxa, confirmed that the islands host a rich variety of coral and fish fauna ...

Local and regional controls of phylogenetic structure at the high-latitude range limits of corals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Understanding how range-edge populations will respond to climate change is an urgent research priority. Here, we used a phylogenetic community ecology approach to examine how ecological and evolutionary processes shape biodiversity patterns of ...

Exploring coral speciation: Multiple sympatric Stylophora pistillata taxa along a divergence continuum on the Great Barrier Reef

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, Volume 17, Issue 1, January 2024.
Abstract Understanding how biodiversity originates and is maintained are fundamental challenge in evolutionary biology. Speciation is a continuous process and progression along this continuum depends on the interplay between evolutionary forces driving divergence and forces promoting genetic homogenisation.

Coral Morphology Portrays the Spatial Distribution and Population Size-Structure Along a 5–100 m Depth Gradient

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Population size structure provides information on demographic characteristics, such as growth and decline, enabling post-hoc assessment of spatial differences in susceptibility to disturbance.

Stratigraphic distributions of genera and species of Neogene to Recent Caribbean reef corals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
To document evolutionary patterns in late Cenozoic Caribbean reef corals, we compiled composite stratigraphic ranges of 49 genera and 175 species using Neogene occurrences in the Cibao Valley sequence of the northern Dominican Republic and faunal lists ...

Diversity and distribution of symbiodinium associated with seven common coral species in the Chagos Archipelago, central Indian Ocean.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
The Chagos Archipelago designated as a no-take marine protected area in 2010, lying about 500 km south of the Maldives in the Indian Ocean, has a high conservation priority, particularly because of its fast recovery from the ocean-wide massive coral ...

Presence–absence polymorphisms of single-copy genes in the stony coral Acropora digitifera

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2020
Background Despite the importance of characterizing genetic variation among coral individuals for understanding phenotypic variation, the correlation between coral genomic diversity and phenotypic expression is still poorly understood.
