Unravelling the Importance of Diazotrophy in Corals – Combined Assessment of Nitrogen Assimilation, Diazotrophic Community and Natural Stable Isotope Signatures

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
There is an increasing interest in understanding the structure and function of the microbiota associated with marine and terrestrial organisms, because it can play a major role in host nutrition and resistance to environmental stress.

In vitro Symbiosis of Reef-Building Coral Cells With Photosynthetic Dinoflagellates

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Coral reefs are the biodiversity hot spots of the oceans, but they have suffered from increasing environmental stresses caused principally by anthropogenic global warming.

Are infestations of Cymomelanodactylus killing Acropora cytherea in the Chagos archipelago? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Associations between branching corals and infaunal crabs are well known, mostly due to the beneficial effects of Trapezia and Tetralia crabs in protecting host corals from crown-of-thorns starfish (e.g., Pratchett et al.

Baseline Assessment of Ecological Quality Index (EQI) of the Marine Coastal Habitats of Tonga Archipelago: Application for Management of Remote Regions in the Pacific

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2023
The loss of coral habitats and associated biodiversity have direct effects both on the physical dynamics of the coast and on natural resources, threatening the survival of local populations.

Discovery and characterization of Hv1-type proton channels in reef-building corals

open access: yeseLife, 2021
Voltage-dependent proton-permeable channels are membrane proteins mediating a number of important physiological functions. Here we report the presence of a gene encoding Hv1 voltage-dependent, proton-permeable channels in two species of reef-building ...

Submergence and uplift associated with the giant 1833 Sumatran subduction earthquake: Evidence from coral microatolls [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
The giant Sumatran subduction earthquake of 1833 appears as a large emergence event in fossil coral microatolls on the reefs of Sumatra's outer-arc ridge.

High-Resolution Dynamics of Hydrogen Peroxide on the Surface of Scleractinian Corals in Relation to Photosynthesis and Feeding

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
We developed and used a microsensor to measure fast (<1 s) dynamics of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) on the polyp tissue of two scleractinian coral species (Stylophora pistillata and Pocillopora damicornis) under manipulations of illumination ...

Coral reefs [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2008
Coral reefs are the most diverse of marine ecosystems, with hundreds of thousands if not millions of species associated with reefs. For this reason they are often called the rain forests of the sea, and as such they have been of interest not only to marine scientists but also to ecologists and evolutionary biologists broadly.
