A pre-zygotic barrier to hybridization in two con-generic species of scleractinian corals [v1; ref status: indexed, http://f1000r.es/1uz]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2013
Hybridization is often cited as a potential source of evolutionary novelty in the order Scleractinia. While hybrid embryos can be produced in vitro, it has been difficult to identify adult hybrids in the wild.

Coral Reefs and Carbon Dioxide [PDF]

open access: yesScience, 1996
This commentary argues the conclusion from a previous article, which investigates diurnal changes in carbon dioxide partial pressure and community metabolism on coral reefs, that coral `reefs might serve as a sink, not a source, for atmospheric carbon dioxide.` Commentaries from two groups are given along with the response by the original authors ...

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 ...

Climate warming, marine protected areas and the ocean-scale integrity of coral reef ecosystems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
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 ...

Famines, food insecurity and coral reef 'Ponzi' fisheries [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
This editorial concerns the joint issue of human numbers and failure of food supply, and focuses on the fact that coral reefs, if fished less intensively and destructively, can support much more biomass (food) than they do now.

Seawater eDNA and Underwater Visual Surveys Reveal Genus-Level Reef-Building Coral Communities in the Wanshan Archipelago, South China Sea

open access: yesFishes
Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is increasingly used as a complementary tool for coral biodiversity assessment, but its performance in subtropical, estuary-influenced reef systems remains insufficiently tested.
