Screening by coral green fluorescent protein (GFP)-like chromoproteins supports a role in photoprotection of zooxanthellae [PDF]
Green fluorescent protein (GFP)-like pigments are responsible for the vivid colouration of many reef-building corals and have been proposed to act as photoprotectants.

Stable Sr isotope (88Sr/86Sr) fractionation in calcite precious corals
Stable isotope ratios of Sr (88Sr/86Sr) are a novel indicator for identifying terrestrial and oceanic Sr cycling and biological processes. Here we evaluate the temperature dependence of stable Sr isotope ratios (δ88Sr) in the calcite skeletons of ...

ANTI-BACTERIAL PROPERTY OF A CORAL-ASSOCIATED BACTERIUM Bacillus sp. AGAINST CORAL PATHOGENIC [PDF]
Marine organisms such as corals are frequently colonized by bacteria that may be pathogenic to them. One of the means by which they are able to combat microbial attack is by chemical defense.

Climate warming, marine protected areas and the ocean-scale integrity of coral reef ecosystems [PDF]
Coral reefs have emerged as one of the ecosystems most vulnerable to climate variation and change. While the contribution of a warming climate to the loss of live coral cover has been well documented across large spatial and temporal scales, the ...

Coral Reef Recovery in the Mexican Caribbean after 2005 Mass Coral Mortality—Potential Drivers
In 2005, an extreme heatwave hit the Wider Caribbean, followed by 13 hurricanes (including hurricanes Emily and Wilma) that caused significant loss in hard coral cover. However, the drivers of the potential recovery are yet to be fully understood.
