Exploitation, secondary extinction and the altered trophic structure of Jamaican coral reefs [PDF]
Coral reef communities of the Greater Antilles in the Caribbean have a long history of anthropogenic disturbance, driven by the exploitation for food of both vertebrate and invertebrate species.

Aspergivones A and B, two new flavones isolated from a gorgonian-derived Aspergillus candidus fungus
Two new flavones, aspergivones A (1) and B (2), were isolated from the fungus Aspergillus candidus cultured from the gorgonian coral Anthogorgia ochracea collected from the South China Sea.

ABSTRACT Linguistic uncertainty is a prime source of uncertainty pervading ecology and conservation. Coralline algae are a widespread and diverse group of calcifying red macroalgae that underpin coastal ecosystem function and service provision. Recent increasing interest in coralline algae in the scientific literature has revealed a diverse but ...

Immunophylogenetic aspects of a Gorgonian coral
One goal of comparative immunology is to derive inferences about evolutionary pathways in the development of immune-defense systems. Almost 700 million years ago, a major divergence occurred in the phylogeny of animals, spitting all descendants into either the protostome or deuterostome (includes vertebrates) lineages.

Octocorals are among the main habitat‐engineering species, generating complex three‐dimensional ecosystems of unquestioned importance. Despite their importance, octocoral habitats have dramatically declined in the last decades due to several stressors. Consequently, octocoral gardens are internationally recognized as Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems.

Abstract Aquatic organisms are natural data loggers and record chemical variations within hardened accretionary structures like shells and teeth. Chemical sclerochronology is the study of these chemical variations through time and how they are used to understand environmental change and the physiology and ecology of species.
