Rapid recycling of coral mass-spawning products in permeable reef sediments. [PDF]
, 2004 During the annual synchronous release of gametes by corals, a large amount of energy-rich organic material is released to the reef environment. In November 2001, we studied a minor spawning event at Heron Island in the Great Barrier Reef (GBR), Australia.

Genome sequence of the Mediterranean red coral Corallium rubrum
BMC Research NotesObjectives Corallium rubrum, the precious red coral, is an octocoral endemic to the western Mediterranean Sea. Like most octocorals, it produces tiny, calcified structures called sclerites. Uniquely, it also produces a completely calcified axial skeleton

Spatial distribution of benthic macroorganisms on reef flats at Porto de Galinhas Beach (northeastern Brazil), with special focus on corals and calcified hydroids [PDF]
Biotemas, 2010 Despite their ecological and social-economic importance, coral reefs are under constant threat and thus require proper management practices. Data on the spatial structure of these ecosystems are essential for good quality conservation projects in such ...

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

Mg structural state in coral aragonite and implications for the paleoenvironmental proxy [PDF]
, 2008 Thermodynamic calculations and inorganic precipitation experiments indicate a relationship between aragonite Mg/Ca and water temperature. This offers a route to reconstruct seawater temperatures from fossil corals.
