Coral Reefs [PDF]

, 2011
Koralji su isključivo morske životinje radijalne simetrije koji se od drugih žarnjaka razlikuju po tome što su pretežno sesilni ili slabo pokretni polipi. Koraljni grebeni su formirani kroz mineralne naslage milijardama kolonijalnih koraljnih polipa. Oni

A Novel Neutral and Mesophilic β-Glucosidase from Coral Microorganisms for Efficient Preparation of Gentiooligosaccharides

Foods, 2021
β-glucosidases can produce gentiooligosaccharides that are lucrative and promising for the prebiotic and alternative food industries. However, the commercial production of gentiooligosaccharides using β-glucosidase is challenging, as this process is ...

Genetic Diversity and Structure of Tropical Porites lutea Populations Highlight Their High Adaptive Potential to Environmental Changes in the South China Sea

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Global climate change and anthropogenic disturbance have significantly degraded biodiversity in coral reef ecosystems. The genetic potential and adaptability of corals are key factors used to predict the fate of global coral reefs under climate change ...

Insights Into the Environmental Impact on Genetic Structure and Larval Dispersal of Crown-of-Thorns Starfish in the South China Sea

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
The coral-eating crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS; Acanthaster spp.) play a major role in coral reef degradation in the Indo-Pacific region. However, the impacts of environmental factors on the phylogenetic and genetic characteristics of COTS in the ...

Significant Changes in Bacterial Communities Associated with Pocillopora Corals Ingestion by Crown-of-Thorns Starfish: An Important Factor Affecting the Coral’s Health

Microorganisms, 2022
Coral ingestion by crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS) is an important cause of coral reef degradation, although the impacts of COTS feeding on coral-associated microbial communities are not well understood.

Tracking Low-Frequency Variations in Land–Sea Water Mass Redistribution during the GRACE/GRACE-FO Era

Remote Sensing, 2023
Climate change has caused a widespread deduction in terrestrial water storage (TWS), leading to ocean water mass gains and sea level rises. A better understanding of how the land–sea water mass has been redistributed can help with the scientific response

Significant Shifts in Microbial Communities Associated with Scleractinian Corals in Response to Algae Overgrowth

Microorganisms, 2022
Microbes play a key role in reef dynamics, mediating the competition between scleractinian corals and benthic algae; however, major shifts in bacterial communities among coral species in response to increases in the abundance of algae are not well ...

High‐Resolution Coral Records of Cadmium in Surface Seawater: Biogeochemical Cycling and a Novel Proxy for Winter Monsoon

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022
Cadmium (Cd) geochemical cycle plays a significant role in the composition and function of the marine ecosystem. Skeletal cadmium‐to‐calcium (Cd/Ca) ratios in hermatypic corals have been applied to reconstruct the historical changes of oceanic and ...

Regulation of the Coral-Associated Bacteria and Symbiodiniaceae in Acropora valida Under Ocean Acidification

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Ocean acidification is one of many stressors that coral reef ecosystems are currently contending with. Thus, understanding the response of key symbiotic microbes to ocean acidification is of great significance for understanding the adaptation mechanism ...

Coral reefs [PDF]

Current Biology, 2008
Coral reefs are the most diverse of marine ecosystems, with hundreds of thousands if not millions of species associated with reefs. For this reason they are often called the rain forests of the sea, and as such they have been of interest not only to marine scientists but also to ecologists and evolutionary biologists broadly.
