Biogeography and change among regional coral communities across the western Indian Ocean [PDF]
, 2014 Coral reefs are biodiverse ecosystems structured by abiotic and biotic factors operating across many spatial scales. Regional-scale interactions between climate change, biogeography and fisheries management remain poorly understood.

Screening by coral green fluorescent protein (GFP)-like chromoproteins supports a role in photoprotection of zooxanthellae [PDF]
, 2013 Green fluorescent protein (GFP)-like pigments are responsible for the vivid colouration of many reef-building corals and have been proposed to act as photoprotectants.

Patterns of Genetic Structuring in the Coral Pocillopora Damicornis on Reefs in East Africa. [PDF]
, 2009 Studies of population genetic structures provide an indication of direction and magnitude of larval transport and hence are an important component in the assessment of the ability of reefs to recover from severe disturbance.

ANTI-BACTERIAL PROPERTY OF A CORAL-ASSOCIATED BACTERIUM Bacillus sp. AGAINST CORAL PATHOGENIC [PDF]
, 2006 Marine organisms such as corals are frequently colonized by bacteria that may be pathogenic to them. One of the means by which they are able to combat microbial attack is by chemical defense.

PHOTOSYNTHETHIC PARAMETER ASSESSMENT OF CORAL ZOOXANTHELLAE OF Acropora aspera AND Favites abdita USING MAXI I-PAM SYSTEM IN HERON ISLAND, GREAT BARRIER REEF, AUSTRALIA [PDF]
, 2006 Zooxanthellae, which reside inside the coral host, have been an essential component in coral ecosystem studies. While residing inside their host, zooxanthellae photosynthesize provide energy and nutrients to coral. Objectives are to observe the impact of
