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

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]
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, 2013Previous 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]
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.

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, 2021Among 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]
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.
