Coral Ultrastructural Response to Elevated pCO2 and Nutrients During Tissue Repair and Regeneration [PDF]
, 2008 Corals and coral reefs have recently experienced widespread decline attributed to anthropogenic pressure on reef systems. Studies have demonstrated that nutrient and pCO2 stress effect coral growth and calcification, but study of specific effects on ...

Assessment of the Coral Reefs of the Turks and Caicos Islands (Part 2: Fish Communities) [PDF]
, 2003 Ecologically and commercially significant coral reef fishes were surveyed at 28 sites in the Turks and Caicos Islands during August 1999. Our results constitute the first quantitative census of these fishes and can serve as baseline information for ...

An Experimental Histopathological Rating Scale of Sedimentation Stress in the Caribbean Coral Montastraea cavernosa [PDF]
, 2006 Colonies of Montastraea cavernosa were exposed to daily applications of approx. 200–225 mg cm– 2 sediments, during a four-week period, in order to investigate coral responses to increased sedimentation.

Bacterial Communities Associated With Crustose Coralline Algae Are Host‐Specific
MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 1, February 2026.Fifteen Indo‐Pacific crustose coralline algae (CCA) species surface microbial communities were characterised with 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and are distinct. The CCA surface microbiome primarily differentiate by algal host species, but core bacterial communities additionally correlated to host phylogeny.

Growth and Survivorship of Scleractinian Coral Transplants and the Effectiveness of Plugging Core Holes in Transplant Donor Colonies [PDF]
, 2006 Replicate scleractinian coral transplants were obtained from the species Meandrina meandrites and Montastrea cavernosa on a natural reef, off Dania Beach, Florida, using a hydraulic drill fitted with a 4 in. (~10 cm) core barrel.

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Herbivorous fish are key components in maintaining functionality in reef environments; however, this group is widely threatened by overfishing and habitat degradation. Investigating the main factors determining the structure of herbivorous fish becomes paramount to defining management strategies amid anthropogenic impacts. This study evaluated

Coral Persistence to Ocean Warming via Developmental Acclimation [PDF]
, 2016 Scleractinian corals are the ‘engineers’ of tropical coral reef ecosystems. Their three-dimensional structure provides habitat for thousands of fish and invertebrate species. The persistence of corals is threatened by climate change.
