Lunar and seasonal patterns of a longnose emperor spawning aggregation in Palau

Scientific Reports
Many species of reef fishes form spawning aggregations during predictable seasons and lunar phases, which are often targeted by fishers, leading to their depletion over time.

Bathymetry of the Coral Reefs of Weizhou Island Based on Multispectral Satellite Images

Remote Sensing, 2017
Shallow water depth measurements using multispectral images are crucial for marine surveying and mapping. At present, relevant studies either depend on the use of other auxiliary data (such as field water depths or water column data) or contain too many ...

The future of coral reefs [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2001
Coral reefs, with their millions of species, have changed profoundly because of the effects of people, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Reefs are subject to many of the same processes that affect other human-dominated ecosystems, but some special features merit emphasis: ( i

A Pentaradial and Bilateral Combined Photoreception System in the Sea Cucumber is Mediated by a Blue Light‐Sensitive R‐Opsin

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The sea cucumber Holothuria leucospilota detects blue and adjacent wavelengths of light via an r‐opsin with a maximum absorption at 459 nm. In the oral tentacles, papillae, and tube feet, distinct light‐sensing structures with specialized morphologies are formed, constituting a unique pentaradial and bilateral combined photoreception system.

Variation in growth rates of branching corals along Australia’s Great Barrier Reef

Scientific Reports, 2017
Coral growth is an important component of reef health and resilience. However, few studies have investigated temporal and/or spatial variation in growth of branching corals, which are important contributors to the structure and function of reef habitats.

Deep genetic divergences among Indo-Pacific populations of the coral reef sponge Leucetta chagosensis (Leucettidae) [PDF]

, 2008
Background: An increasing number of studies demonstrate that genetic differentiation and speciation in the sea occur over much smaller spatial scales than previously appreciated given the wide distribution range of many morphologically defined coral reef

Regulating Cells Fate and Function to Facilitate Bone Regeneration via Designing Programmable Bio‐Interactive Materials

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This article aims to elucidate the biological mechanisms of bone repair and the evolution of material design, highlighting key cellular and molecular processes. It further proposes strategies and prospects for programmable bio‐interactive materials, which enable precisely guided bone tissue regeneration by dynamically regulating cell behavior and the ...

Frequent coral disease interventions reduces tissue loss

Scientific Reports
Stony coral tissue loss disease is a highly contagious coral disease, causing rapid colony mortality and local extinctions. Conducting disease interventions on all corals in a region during an outbreak is virtually impossible, therefore, intervention ...

Using size-weight relationships to estimate biomass of heavily targeted aquarium corals by Australia’s coral harvest fisheries

Scientific Reports, 2023
Coral reefs are highly threatened environs subject to ongoing unprecedented degradation as a result of anthropogenic activities. Given the existential threat to coral reef ecosystems, extractive industries that make use of coral reef resources, are ...
