Environmental acclimatization of the relatively high latitude scleractinian coral Pavona decussata: integrative perspectives on seasonal subaerial exposure and temperature fluctuations

BMC Genomics
Background Coral reefs are being increasingly threatened due to global climate change. However, some coral species have shown strong tolerance despite living in marginal environments.

XXVIII. Corals and Coral Reefs [PDF]

Transactions of the Geological Society of Glasgow, 1900
T he lecturer began by pointing out that the carbonate of lime, of which the hard parts of most corals consist, has been derived in the first instance from the decomposition of such eruptive rocks as basalt and dolerite.

Corals, fishermen and tourists [PDF]

, 2004
Two major anthropogenic activities that disturb coral reefs are fishing and tourism, even though coral reefs are important for both fishing and tourism. Already more than 60 per cent of all reefs worldwide are endangered. The use of explosives and poison

Ecological indicators for coral reef fisheries management [PDF]

, 2016
Coral reef fisheries are of great importance both economically and for food security, but many reefs are showing evidence of overfishing, with significant ecosystem-level consequences for reef condition.

Diazotroph Diversity Associated With Scleractinian Corals and Its Relationships With Environmental Variables in the South China Sea

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
Coral reef ecosystems cannot operate normally without an effective nitrogen cycle. For oligotrophic coral reef areas, coral-associated diazotrophs are indispensable participants in the nitrogen cycle.

Feeding Habits of Acanthaster spp., as Indicated by the Carbon Stable Isotope Values of Food in Their Gastric Contents and Pyloric Gut

Redai dili
The periodic outbreaks of Acanthaster spp. which are predators of coral, are important reasons for the degradation of coral reefs. Information on the food sources of Acanthaster spp. Would be useful for suppressing outbreaks of the species.

Distinct Bacterial Communities Associated with Massive and Branching Scleractinian Corals and Potential Linkages to Coral Susceptibility to Thermal or Cold Stress

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
It is well known that different coral species have different tolerances to thermal or cold stress, which is presumed to be related to the density of Symbiodinium. However, the intrinsic factors between stress-tolerant characteristics and coral-associated
