Evolutionary Ecology, 2011
Recent advances in morphometrics and genetics have led to the discovery of numerous cryptic species in coral reef ecosystems. A prime example is the Montastraea annularis scleractinian coral species complex, in which morphological, genetic, and reproductive data concur on species boundaries, allowing evaluation of long-term patterns of speciation and ...

AbstractCoral reefs are increasingly threatened worldwide by a variety of biological and physical factors, including disease, bleaching and ocean acidification. Understanding levels of connectivity among widespread populations can assist in conservation efforts and the design of marine protected areas, as larval dispersal scales affect population ...

To investigate sex-related differences in the skeleton of the reef-building coral Montastraea cavernosa, a gonochoric broadcaster species with an annual cycle of gametogenesis, we collected six colonies during the reproductive season. Sex was determined by histological techniques and sclerochronological characteristics of digital X-ray images.

Coral Reefs, 2018
It is critical to determine the methods by which coral colonies regenerate tissue lost to physical injury as they provide the physical structure of coral reef systems. To explore regeneration, circular lesions (12 mm diameter × 3 mm depth) were created in the fall of 2014 on 124 Montastraea cavernosa colonies located in the coastal waters of Grenada ...

Severe coral mortality after bleaching is well documented in the Indo-Pacific and Caribbean, but in the marginal Southwestern Atlantic, corals often exhibit lower post-bleaching mortality and high recovery following temperature anomalies. Understanding how these corals respond to environmental fluctuations can provide insights into their resilience ...

Marine Biology, 2015
Climate change and other types of environmental stress are known to increase corals’ vulnerability to bleaching, a process whereby colonies lose their colour either due to the loss of photosynthetic symbionts or their pigments. Although bleaching leaves the coral skeleton visible under its transparent tissue, not all white coral colonies display this ...

Abstract. Benthic organisms compete for space, and standoff interactions, i. e. interactions with no clearly observable outcome such as win or loss, are very common in marine hard substratum communities. Standoffs were more common than overgrowths among all sponge‐coral interactions observed in a coral reef community off Santa Marta, NE Colombia.

Dredging, the removal of sediments and rocks from an aquatic environment, is necessary to ensure that adequate coastal infrastructure is maintained for maritime shipping. However, the sediment plumes generated by dredging could have adverse impacts on coral reef ecosystems that are already facing numerous local and global stressors.
