Forensic analysis of black coral (Order Antipatharia)

Forensic Science International, 2012
Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), discriminate analysis, X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF), and stereoscopic microscopy were used to separate black coral forensic evidence items from similarly appearing items manufactured from plastics, bovid keratin, and mangrove wood.

Black coral as a new environmental recorder: The lead profiles in coral skeletons over the past century

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2015
Lead (Pb) is a typical heavy metal pollutant in the environment, and most Pb contamination comes from human activities. In the present work, the Pb contents of two black coral specimens (Cirrhipathes spp.) collected from the northern South China Sea were measured by synchrotron radiation micro X-ray fluorescence (SR μ-XRF) analysis with 2.5 μm ...

Mediterranean black coral communities

2019
Remotely operated vehicle (ROV) investigations of the Mediterranean deep continental shelf and bathyal zone have provided, in the last decade, a large amount of data concerning an enigmatic group of anthozoans: the black corals. Taxonomic investigations as well as ecological and biological studies contributed to unveil the diversity, population ...

The Black Band Disease of Atlantic Reef Corals.

Marine Ecology, 1983
Abstract.Some reef building corals in the western Atlantic are susceptible to an infection known as black band disease that is caused by the cyanophyte (cyanobacterium)Phormidium corallyticumRützler& Santavy. Field observations on the barrier reef of Belize and on reefs of the Bermuda platform indicate the disease is fairly common in susceptible ...

Black Corals (Anthozoa: Antipatharia) from the Southwestern Atlantic

Zootaxa, 2019
Black corals (Cnidaria: Hexacorallia: Antipatharia) occur in all oceans of the globe, especially at depths greater than 50 m. However, their richness is underestimated due to the scarcity of studies on this group, especially in deep waters. The south Atlantic is one of the most depauperate regions in terms of our knowledge of antipatharians. Herein, we

Feeding mechanisms in black corals (Antipatharia)

Journal of Zoology, 1978
Feeding in the Antipatharia is very similar to that of reef corals. Food capture is accomplished by the tentacles with their nematocysts, by mucus nets and strands, by directional ciliary currents, and by mesenterial filaments.

The black coral fauna (Cnidaria: Antipatharia) of Bermuda with new records

Zootaxa, 2017
The black coral fauna of Bermudan waters is poorly known, in large part due to the logistical challenges of surveying deep-water (>50 m) environments where most species occur. In 2016, the Nekton Expedition sought to survey the deep-water biodiversity around Bermuda using manned submersibles and mixed-gas technical SCUBA.
