Coral reefs [PDF]

open access: yes, 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

Coral reefs [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent 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.

Fungiidae Classification, Life History, and Biogeographic Research Progress

open access: yesRedai dili, 2022
Most species of Fungiidae are formed by a single giant polyp that secretes calcium carbonate, which is one of the main builders of the coral reef ecosystem frameworks.

Borneo coral reefs subject to high sediment loads show evidence of resilience to various environmental stressors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
For reefs in South East Asia the synergistic effects of rapid land development, insufficient environmental policies and a lack of enforcement has led to poor water quality and compromised coral health from increased sediment and pollution.

Impacts of stratospheric aerosol geoengineering strategy on Caribbean coral reefs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Purpose: Currently, negotiation on global carbon emissions reduction is very difficult due to lack of international willingness. In response, geoengineering (climate engineering) strategy is proposed to artificially cool the planet.

Region-wide temporal and spatial variation in Caribbean reef architecture: is coral cover the whole story? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The architectural complexity of coral reefs is largely generated by reef-building corals, yet the effects of current regional-scale declines in coral cover on reef complexity are poorly understood.

Metabolomics Characterization of Scleractinia Corals with Different Life-History Strategies: A Case Study about Pocillopora meandrina and Seriatopora hystrix in the South China Sea

open access: yesMetabolites, 2022
Life-history strategies play a critical role in susceptibility to environmental stresses for Scleractinia coral. Metabolomics, which is capable of determining the metabolic responses of biological systems to genetic and environmental changes, is ...

The 27–year decline of coral cover on the Great Barrier Reef and its causes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This study investigates the spatial and temporal dynamics of coral cover, identifies the main drivers of coral mortality, and quantifies the rates of potential recovery of the Great Barrier Reef.The world’s coral reefs are being degraded, and the need to

Climate-driven coral reorganisation influences aggressive behaviour in juvenile coral-reef fishes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Globally, habitat degradation is altering the abundance and diversity of species in a variety of ecosystems. This study aimed to determine how habitat degradation, in terms of changing coral composition under climate change, affected abundance, species ...

Insights into the Understanding of Adsorption Behaviors of Legacy and Emerging Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFASs) on Various Anion-Exchange Resins

open access: yesToxics, 2023
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have received extensive attention due to their various harmful effects. In this study, the adsorptive removal of 10 legacy and emerging PFASs by four anion-exchange resins (including gel and macroreticular ...
