Benthic invertebrates that form habitat on deep banks off southern California, with special reference to deep sea coral [PDF]
, 2006 There is increasing interest in the potential impacts that fishing activities have on megafaunal benthic invertebrates occurring in continental shelf and slope ecosystems.

Persistent termini of 2004- and 2005-like ruptures of the Sunda megathrust [PDF]
, 2012 To gain insight into the longevity of subduction zone segmentation, we use coral microatolls to examine an 1100-year record of large earthquakes across the boundary of the great 2004 and 2005 Sunda megathrust ruptures.

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London, 1879 The specimens of Corals procured at Rodriguez amount to 102 and belong to 49 species. They were taken by Messrs. Slater and Gulliver evidently at moderate depths ; at least no deep-sea forms, especially no Turbinolüdœ or Oculinidœ are represented amongst them.

Ecography, EarlyView.Ocean warming is driving the redistribution of species at a global scale. Biogeographic transition zones are hotspots of species range shifts, as both warm‐ and cold‐adapted species are found toward contrasting range edges. While anecdotal evidence suggests some distributional shifts have occurred in the northeast Atlantic, the empirical evidence base ...

Genetic parallels in biomineralization of the calcareous sponge Sycon ciliatum and stony corals
eLifeThe rapid emergence of mineralized structures in diverse animal groups during the late Ediacaran and early Cambrian periods likely resulted from modifications of pre-adapted biomineralization genes inherited from a common ancestor.

The Effects of Anthropogenic Stressors on Reproduction and Recruitment of Corals and Reef Organisms
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018 The persistence of populations of marine organisms depends on the success of the dual processes of reproduction and recruitment. The production of offspring alone is inconsequential unless larvae and propagules can recruit, which often entails a period ...

Patterns of Sponge Abundance Across a Gradient of Habitat Quality in the Wakatobi Marine National Park, Indonesia [PDF]
, 2011 Sponges are important components of reef communities worldwide, fulfilling a number of important functional roles. Habitat degradation caused by the loss of hard corals has the potential to cause increases in sponge abundance and percentage cover as they

Biogeography of intertidal invertebrates is influenced by latitude along the west coast of Australia
Ecography, EarlyView.Along the west coast of Australia, intertidal rock platforms support high invertebrate diversities that provide vital ecosystem services, yet patterns in diversity are not well understood. Here, we document and examine the invertebrate assemblages on intertidal rock platforms in Western Australia and delineate ecoregions according to assemblage ...

ATP Supply May Contribute to Light-Enhanced Calcification in Corals More Than Abiotic Mechanisms
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018 Zooxanthellate corals are known to increase calcification rates when exposed to light, a phenomenon called light-enhanced calcification that is believed to be mediated by symbionts' photosynthetic activity.

Observations of deep coral and sponge assemblages in Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary, Washington. Cruise Report: NOAA Ship McArthur II Cruise AR06-07/07 [PDF]
, 2007 From May 22 to June 4, 2006, NOAA scientists led a research cruise using the ROPOS Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) to conduct a series of dives at targeted sites in the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary (OCNMS) with the goal of documenting deep ...
