The effects of disease lesions and amoxicillin treatment on the physiology of SCTLD-affected corals

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
Metrics of coral physiology can be used to identify changes in coral health due to environmental stressors or management actions. One of the most unprecedented stressors to Caribbean corals is the spread of stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD), which ...

Tasa de calcificación y densidad esqueletal entre sexos de Montastraea cavernosa

open access: yes, 2014
Montastraea cavernosa es una especie gonocórica y liberadora de gametos. Presenta una estrategia de crecimiento en densidad y es una de las principales especies constructoras de arrecifes en el Caribe Mexicano. Se colectaron seis colonias (dos machos y cuatro hembras) a 4.5 m de profundidad en el Parque Nacional Arrecife de Puerto Morelos, Quintana Roo

Regeneration of artificially induced lesions in the Caribbean great star coral (Montastraea cavernosa) in the nearshore waters of Grenada.

open access: yes, 2017
Sessile scleractinian corals provide the three-dimensional structure of critically important coral reefs around the globe. Their ability to regenerate damaged tissue is of crucial importance to the long-term health and continued presence of the reef ecosystem as a whole.

Photoacclimatization by the coral Montastraea cavernosa in the mesophotic zone: light, food, and genetics [PDF]

open access: yesEcology, 2010
Most studies on coral reefs have focused on shallow reef (<30 m) systems due to the technical limitations of conducting scientific diving deeper than 30 m. Compared to their shallow‐water counterparts, these mesophotic coral reefs (30–150 m) are understudied, which has slowed our broader understanding of the biodiversity, ecology, and connectivity ...

Diazotrophic diversity in the Caribbean coral, Montastraea cavernosa

Archives of Microbiology, 2013
Previous research on the Caribbean coral Montastraea cavernosa reported the presence of cyanobacterial endosymbionts and nitrogen fixation in orange, but not brown, colonies. We compared the diversity of nifH gene sequences between these two color morphs at three locations in the Caribbean and found that the nifH sequences recovered from M.

Comparative Genomics of Color Morphs In the Coral Montastraea cavernosa [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
AbstractMontastraea cavernosa is a common coral in the Caribbean basin found in several color morphs. To investigate the causes for brown and orange morphs we undertook a genomics approach on corals collected at the same time and depth in the Bahamas.

Differential protein abundance associated with delayed regeneration of the scleractinian coral Montastraea cavernosa

Coral Reefs, 2020
Scleractinian corals provide the three-dimensional structure and function of coral reefs around the globe. These sessile animals are subject to physical injuries from a variety of sources and can completely regenerate damaged tissue as a survival mechanism; however, tissue regeneration rates vary widely within and across taxa.

Physicochemical Properties of Photoconvertible Fluorescent Protein from Montastraea cavernosa

Russian Journal of Bioorganic Chemistry, 2021
Among the wide variety of currently known fluorescent probes, photoconvertible fluorescent proteins (PCFPs), which are capable to irreversibly change their maximum of fluorescence emission under specific light irradiation, are of special interest. In this work, we have studied the basic physicochemical properties of PCFP isolated from Montastraea ...

Light absorption and utilization by colonies of the congeneric hermatypic corals Montastraea faveolata and Montastraea cavernosa [PDF]

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, 2000
The congeneric species Montastraea faveolata and Montastraea cavernosa are important hermatypic corals on reefs throughout the Bahamas, Caribbean, and the Florida reef tract that have overlapping bathymetric distributions. However, these congeners differ in their respective abundance at similar depths.
