Observations of deep coral and sponge assemblages in Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary, Washington. Cruise Report: NOAA Ship McArthur II Cruise AR06-07/07 [PDF]
From May 22 to June 4, 2006, NOAA scientists led a research cruise using the ROPOS Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) to conduct a series of dives at targeted sites in the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary (OCNMS) with the goal of documenting deep ...

Critical knowledge gaps in the conservation and restoration of cold‐water corals
Abstract Introduction Critical knowledge gaps hamper effective conservation of threatened cold‐water coral (CWC) ecosystems, facing cumulative anthropogenic and climate pressures. This review provides a strategic roadmap for urgent, informed intervention.

Deep-sea coral distribution on seamounts, oceanic islands, and continental slopes in the Northeast Atlantic [PDF]
A database of deep-water (\u3e 200 m) antipatharians, scleractinians, and gorgonians has been assembled for the NE Atlantic to determine what their distribution and diversity was before coral habitats became heavily impacted by bottom fishing gear ...

A new gorgonian genus from deep-sea Antarctic waters (Octocorallia, Alcyonacea, Plexauridae) [PDF]
Mesogligorgia scotiae gen. nov., sp. nov. is described and illustrated from a colony collected in the Scotia Sea, 2,201–2,213 m in depth, on the ANDEEP-I cruise. The new taxon is placed in the family Plexauridae because of: 1) the presence of a horny

Residual Chemical Shift Anisotropies in the Structure Determination of Small Molecules
Plasma neutrophil elastase(ELANE) was markedly elevated in patients with alcohol use disorder, indicating a dysregulated protease‐antiprotease inflammatory balance characterised by decreased SERPINA3. ELANE showed excellent diagnostic specificity(AUC = 0.8683), supporting its potential utility as a neuroinflammatory biomarker for AUD.

A case of modular phenotypic plasticity in the depth gradient for the gorgonian coral Antillogorgia bipinnata (Cnidaria: Octocorallia) [PDF]
Background: Phenotypic plasticity, as a phenotypic response induced by the environment, has been proposed as a key factor in the evolutionary history of corals. A significant number of octocoral species show high phenotypic variation, exhibiting a strong

Polygonal tepee structures of Arabia
Tepee structures on Sheybarah Island form polygonal microbial cemented crusts in the intertidal. Radiocarbon dating suggests they formed in the Holocene and reflect minor sea‐level changes, highlighting their value as palaeoenvironmental indicators. Satellite surveys identified 126 polygonal features, including coral reefs that may have developed on ...

Rapid Evolution in a Coral Population Following a Mass Mortality Event
ABSTRACT Globally, corals face an increased frequency of mass mortality events (MMEs) as populations experience repeated marine heatwaves which disrupt their obligate algal symbiosis. Despite greater occurrences of MMEs, the relative roles of the environment, host, and symbiont genetic variation in survival, subsequent recovery, and carry‐over effects ...
