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

Frontiers 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.

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

Remote 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.

Mitochondrial and nuclear genes suggest that stony corals are monophyletic but most families of stony corals are not (Order Scleractinia, Class Anthozoa, Phylum Cnidaria) [PDF]

, 2008
Modern hard corals (Class Hexacorallia; Order Scleractinia) are widely studied because of their fundamental role in reef building and their superb fossil record extending back to the Triassic.

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

eLife, 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 ...

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

Frontiers 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 ...

Reactive Oxygen Species Signaling Pathways: Arbiters of Evolutionary Conflict?

Oxygen, 2022
In the history of life, cooperation between biological units has led to increased complexity, e.g., eukaryotic cells and multicellular organisms. Cooperation requires limiting the gains of “defectors” in favor of the cooperative higher-level unit.

Light intensity, photoperiod duration, daily light flux and coral growth of Galaxea fascicularis in an aquarium setting: a matter of photons? [PDF]

, 2012
Light is one of the most important abiotic factors influencing the (skeletal) growth of scleractinian corals. Light stimulates coral growth by the process of light-enhanced calcification, which is mediated by zooxanthellar photosynthesis.
