CoDA: Interactive Segmentation and Morphological Analysis of Dendroid Structures Exemplified on Stony Cold-Water Corals [PDF]
Herein, we present CoDA, the Coral Dendroid structure Analyzer, a visual analytics suite that allows for the first time to investigate the ontogenetic morphological development of complex dendroid coral colonies, exemplified on three important framework-forming dendroid cold-water corals: Lophelia pertusa (Linnaeus, 1758), Madrepora oculata (Linnaeus ...

Hydrodynamics of In-Canopy Flow in Synthetically Generated Coral Reefs Under Oscillatory Wave Motion [PDF]
The interaction of oscillatory wave motion with morphologically complex coral reefs showcases a wide range of consequential hydrodynamic responses within the canopy. While a large body of literature has explored the interaction of morphologically simple coral reefs, the in-canopy flow dynamics in complex coral reefs is poorly understood.

Negligible effects of environmental fluctuations on the maintenance of coral biodiversity: A test of five storage effects [PDF]
The storage effect is a general explanation for ecological coexistence, wherein different species specialize on different states of a fluctuating environment, e.g., hot vs. cold years. Despite the storage effect's prominence in theoretical ecology, we lack evidence on whether it maintains biodiversity in nature. Here, we examine five storage effects in
