Three‐dimensional photogrammetry‐based monitoring to enhance site‐level carbonate budget assessments of coral reefs

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 23, Issue 12, Page 905-923, December 2025.
Abstract Census‐based carbonate budget assessments synthesize metrics on biologically derived carbonate production and erosion rates to generate estimates of net carbonate production (NCP). ReefBudget is a widely used in‐water carbonate budget approach, but this methodology can be field‐intensive and logistically challenging, limiting spatial data ...

Wave Friction Factor and Roughness Definition in Multi‐Scale Coral Barrier Reef

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Wave frictional dissipation is a key process in rough seabed’s environments such as coral reefs, expected to significantly reduce incoming wave energy. In phase‐averaged models, wave dissipation is typically estimated through a wave friction factor fw ${f}_{w}$ which is dependent of the near‐bed orbital excursion and the hydraulic length, a ...

The caprellid Aciconula acanthosoma (Crustacea: Amphipoda) associated with gorgonians from Ecuador, Eastern Pacific [PDF]

, 2016
During a sampling programme focused on Anthozoa from Ecuador, the caprellid Aciconula acanthosoma was found attached to gorgonians of the genus Leptogorgia collected in Machalilla National Park in November 2012 and June 2013 between 15-20 meters depth ...

Unveiling the Microeukaryotic Landscape of the Red Coral Corallium rubrum Across the Northwestern Mediterranean Sea

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 6, December 2025.
This study demonstrates that the eukaryome of the Mediterranean octocoral Corallium rubrum exhibits high variability, and the dominance of certain taxa is influenced by spatiotemporal environmental factors. Despite this, core microeukaryotic families, such as Licnophoridae and Dino‐Group I Clade 1, were consistently present, suggesting key roles in the

Alkaloids and Sesquiterpenes from the South China Sea Gorgonian Echinogorgia pseudossapo

Marine Drugs, 2011
Five zoanthoxanthin alkaloids (1–5) and four sesquiterpenes (6–9) were isolated from the South China Sea gorgonian Echinogorgia pseudossapo. Their structures were determined on the bases of extensive spectroscopic analyses, including 1D and 2D NMR data ...

Aspergillus sydowii and other potential fungal pathogens in Gorgonian Octocorals of the Ecuadorian Pacific [PDF]

, 2017
Emerging fungal diseases are threatening ecosystems and have increased in recent decades. In corals, the prevalence and consequences of these infections have also increased in frequency and severity. Coral reefs are affected by an emerging fungal disease

Ecophysiology of two mesophotic octocorals intended for restoration: Effects of light and temperature

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 11, Page 3309-3321, November 2025.
Abstract Light and temperature are driving forces that shape the evolution and physiology of mesophotic organisms. On the Mississippi‐Alabama continental shelf, octocorals dominate the mesophotic seascape and provide habitat for many fish and invertebrate species.

Grazers and predators mediate the post-settlement bottleneck in Caribbean octocoral forests

Frontiers in Marine Science
In the Caribbean, reef-building scleractinian corals have declined precipitously and octocorals have emerged as one of their main successors. The success of octocorals and the formation of octocoral forests has been attributed to their continuing ...
