Diversity and function of fluorescent molecules in marine animals

Biological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 4, Page 1391-1410, August 2024.
ABSTRACT Fluorescence in marine animals has mainly been studied in Cnidaria but is found in many different phyla such as Annelida, Crustacea, Mollusca, and Chordata. While many fluorescent proteins and molecules have been identified, very little information is available about the biological functions of fluorescence.

An environmental assessment of the John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park and the Key Largo Coral Reef Marine Sanctuary (Unpublished 1983 Report) [PDF]

, 2002
The Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park was established in 1960 and the Key Largo National Marine Sanctuary in 1975. Field studies, funded by NOAA, were conducted in 1980 - 1981 to determine the state of the coral reefs and surrounding areas in relation to ...

Projected climate‐driven shifts in coral distribution indicate tropicalisation of Southwestern Atlantic reefs

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 30, Issue 8, August 2024.
Abstract Aim Predicting and acting on the future of ecosystems requires understanding species distribution shifts due to climate change. We investigated which corals are more likely to shift their distribution in the Southwestern Atlantic under a warming scenario. Location Southwestern Atlantic (SWA; 1° N–28° S).

Effects of Dredging Induced Resuspension of Fine-Grain Sediment on Two Scleractinian Corals, Montastraea cavernosa and Stephanocoenia intersepta [PDF]

ASEAN Journal of Psychiatry
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.

Triggers, cascades, and endpoints: connecting the dots of coral bleaching mechanisms

Biological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 3, Page 715-752, June 2024.
ABSTRACT The intracellular coral–dinoflagellate symbiosis is the engine that underpins the success of coral reefs, one of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet. However, the breakdown of the symbiosis and the loss of the microalgal symbiont (i.e.

Deep reef fish surveys by submersible on Alderdice, McGrail, and Sonnier Banks in the Northwestern Gulf of Mexico [PDF]

, 2006
Submersible surveys at numerous reefs and banks in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico (NWGOM) were conducted as part of the Sustainable Seas Expedition (SSE) during July/August 2002 to identify reef fish communities, characterize benthic habitats, and ...

The impact of stony coral tissue loss disease and amoxicillin treatments on coral gametogenesis

Frontiers in Marine Science
The unprecedented mortality of stony corals on Florida’s Coral Reef from stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) was mitigated on some priority sites and corals through the use of a topical amoxicillin paste to halt disease lesion progression.

Patterns of Sponge Abundance Across a Gradient of Habitat Quality in the Wakatobi Marine National Park, Indonesia [PDF]

, 2011
Sponges are important components of reef communities worldwide, fulfilling a number of important functional roles. Habitat degradation caused by the loss of hard corals has the potential to cause increases in sponge abundance and percentage cover as they
