Insights into the Coral Microbiome: Underpinning the Health and Resilience of Reef Ecosystems.
Corals are fundamental ecosystem engineers, creating large, intricate reefs that support diverse and abundant marine life. At the core of a healthy coral animal is a dynamic relationship with microorganisms, including a mutually beneficial symbiosis with

The meaning of the term ‘function’ in ecology: A coral reef perspective
The inherent complexity of high-diversity systems can make them particularly difficult to understand. The relatively recent introduction of functional approaches, which seek to infer ecosystem functioning based on species' ecological traits, has ...

Terrigenous sediment-dominated reef platform infilling: an unexpected precursor to reef island formation and a test of the reef platform size-island age model in the Pacific [PDF]
Low-lying coral reef islands are considered highly vulnerable to climate change, necessitating an improved understanding of when and why they form, and how the timing of formation varies within and among regions.

Evaluation of porosity, permeability, and reservoir quality of the Asmari Formation using sedimentary facies and diagenesis data in the Ahvaz oil field [PDF]
The Asmari Formation, the Oligo–Miocene in age, has been deposited in the Dezful Embayment and other parts of the Zagros Basin. In the Ahvaz oil field, this formation is mostly composed of limestones, dolomites, marls, and sandstones.
