Sea Urchins Predation Facilitates Coral Invasion in a Marine Reserve [PDF]
Macroalgae is the dominant trophic group on Mediterranean infralittoral rocky bottoms, whereas zooxanthellate corals are extremely rare. However, in recent years, the invasive coral Oculina patagonica appears to be increasing its abundance through ...

Antibacterial Property Of A Coral-Associated Bacterium Pseudoalteromonas Luteoviolacea Against Shrimp Pathogenic Vibrio Harveyi(In Vitro Study) [PDF]
A coral-associated bacterium was successfully screened for secondary metabolites production based on PCR amplification of the non-ribosomal peptide synthetase gene and was identified as closely related to Pseudoalteromonas luteoviolacea based on its 16S ...

Coral bleaching responses in Sodwana Bay, South Africa [PDF]
This study assessed the bleaching response (BR) of coral colonies within the central reef complex in Sodwana Bay, South Africa. Bleach surveys were conducted at 16 sites on 8 reefs over the period of 2007 to 2013. A total of 12 858 coral colonies from 30

Deep genetic divergences among Indo-Pacific populations of the coral reef sponge Leucetta chagosensis (Leucettidae) [PDF]
Background: An increasing number of studies demonstrate that genetic differentiation and speciation in the sea occur over much smaller spatial scales than previously appreciated given the wide distribution range of many morphologically defined coral reef
