Unraveling Deep-Ocean Connections to Climate with Deep-Sea Coral Records of Radiocarbon and Cd/Ca [PDF]

, 2006
We generated records of radiocarbon and trace metals in deep-sea corals to investigate the role of the deep ocean during episodes of rapid environmental change.

Characterization of Available Light for Seagrass and Patch Reef Productivity in Sugarloaf Key, Lower Florida Keys

Remote Sensing, 2016
Light availability is an important factor driving primary productivity in benthic ecosystems, but in situ and remote sensing measurements of light quality are limited for coral reefs and seagrass beds.

Determination of prey capture rates in the stony coral Galaxea fascicularis: a critical reconsideration of the clearance rate concept [PDF]

, 2012
In order to determine optimal feeding regimes for captive corals, prey capture by the scleractinian coral Galaxea fascicularis was determined by measuring clearance of prey items from the surrounding water. Colonies of G.

Chemical mutagenesis and thermal selection of coral photosymbionts induce adaptation to heat stress with trait trade‐offs

Evolutionary Applications, 2023
Despite the relevance of heat‐evolved microalgal endosymbionts to coral reef restoration, to date, few Symbiodiniaceae strains have been thermally enhanced via experimental evolution. Here, we investigated whether the thermal tolerance of Symbiodiniaceae

Collagen of Extracellular Matrix from Marine Invertebrates and Its Medical Applications

Marine Drugs, 2019
The extraction and purification of collagen are of great interest due to its biological function and medicinal applications. Although marine invertebrates are abundant in the animal kingdom, our knowledge of their extracellular matrix (ECM), which mainly

Genomic Attributes of Novel Symbiont Pseudovibrio brasiliensis sp. nov. Isolated From the Sponge Arenosclera brasiliensis

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Sponge holobionts are defined as the host animals and their associated microbiomes. Both host and microbiome produce extracellular products that facilitate interaction within the holobiont.

Fluorescent protein-mediated colour polymorphism in reef corals: multicopy genes extend the adaptation/acclimatization potential to variable light environments

, 2015
The genomic framework that enables corals to adjust to unfavourable conditions is crucial for coral reef survival in a rapidly changing climate. We have explored the striking intraspecific variability in the expression of coral pigments from the green ...

Geochemical Mechanisms of Biomineralization from Analysis of Deep-Sea and Laboratory Cultured Corals [PDF]

, 2010
The ocean is a major component of global heat transport and represents a large exchangeable reservoir of CO₂. The importance of these effects on climate can be quantified with records of ocean temperature, chemistry and dynamics spanning past climate ...
