Differential protein abundance during the first month of regeneration of the Caribbean star coral Montastraea cavernosa

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 ...

Isolation of microsatellite loci from the scleractinian corals, Montastraea cavernosa and Porites astreoides

Molecular Ecology Notes, 2004
AbstractThe ability to assess genetic variation is critical for determining genetic diversity and population structure. In corals, slow evolutionary rates in mitochondrial genomes have left allozymes as the only markers presently available to investigate patterns of intraspecific genetic variation.

Population connectivity among shallow and mesophotic Montastraea cavernosa corals in the Gulf of Mexico identifies potential for refugia

Coral Reefs, 2018
Successful management of spatially isolated coral reefs is contingent on an understanding of ecological connections across populations. To investigate genetic connectivity of the depth-generalist coral species Montastraea cavernosa, populations from both shallow (15–30 m) and mesophotic coral ecosystems (30–70 m) in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) were ...

Sex-related differences in the sclerochronology of the reef-building coral Montastraea cavernosa: the effect of the growth strategy

Marine Biology, 2018
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.

Dynamics Behind Standoff Interactions in Three Reef Sponge Species and the Coral Montastraea cavernosa

Marine Ecology, 2000
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.

Interannual health status stability of the reef-building coral Montastraea cavernosa in a Southwestern Atlantic marginal reef

Marine Environmental Research
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 ...
