Status of Florida’s pillar coral population: in situ declines and ex situ successes
Frontiers in Marine ScienceThe population of pillar coral, Dendrogyra cylindrus, in Florida was decimated from 2013 to 2020, primarily by the emergence of stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD).

Reproductive natural history and successful juvenile propagation of the threatened Caribbean pillar coral Dendrogyra cylindrus. [PDF]
BMC Ecol, 2015 The Caribbean pillar coral Dendrogyra cylindrus was recently listed as a threatened species under the United States Endangered Species Act. One of the major threats to this species is its low, virtually undetectable recruitment rate. To our knowledge, sexually-produced recruits have never been found in over 30 years of surveys of Caribbean reefs. Until

Survival, rarity, and extinction in tropical stony corals. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Many reef‐building tropical corals are becoming rare. We considered the meaning of rarity in corals and highlighted taxa that have reached low abundances in the last few decades. The difficulties of quantifying rarity in the marine environment arise from the sheer scale and 3‐dimensional nature of the biome and the inherent challenges therein ...

Two “pillars” of cold-water coral reefs along Atlantic European margins: Prevalent association of Madrepora oculata with Lophelia pertusa, from reef to colony scale [PDF]
Deep Sea Research Part II: Topical Studies in Oceanography, 2017 The scleractinian coral Lophelia pertusa has been the focus of deep-sea research since the recognition of the vast extent of coral reefs in North Atlantic waters two decades ago, long after their existence was mentioned by fishermen. These reefs where shown to provide habitat, concentrate biomass and act as feeding or nursery grounds for many species ...

Effect of Jetty Pillar Orientation on Scleractinian Corals
Malaysian Journal of Science, 2009 This study investigated the effect of orientation of the Pulau Tioman Marine Park jetty pillars on the underwater light intensity, zooxanthellae density and chlorophyll content of Acropora selago (branching coral) and Cyphastrea japonica (encrusting coral).
