Climate Change Drives Bathymetric Shifts in Taxonomic and Trait Diversity of Deep‐Sea Benthic Communities

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 8, August 2025.
This study uses modeling techniques to predict the characteristics of deep‐water coral communities under climate scenarios. It reveals that climate change will drive shifts of many deep‐water corals to deeper waters, leading to major changes in biodiversity and ecosystem functions of deep‐water coral communities.

Revision of the family Felixaraeidae (Scleractinia; Cretaceous) [PDF]

open access: yesGeodiversitas, 2013
ABSTRACT The Late Cretaceous coral family Felixaraeidae (suborder Fungiina) is revised on the basis of its type genus and respective type species. The family encompasses solitary and colonial forms with very strong and perforated radial elements with a subregular radial symmetry.

Desmophyllum dianthus (Esper, 1794) in the scleractinian phylogeny and its intraspecific diversity.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
The cosmopolitan solitary deep-water scleractinian coral Desmophyllum dianthus (Esper, 1794) was selected as a representative model species of the polyphyletic Caryophylliidae family to (1) examine phylogenetic relationships with respect to the principal

Next-generation sequencing yields the complete mitogenome of stony coral (Favites abdita)

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2017
In this study, the complete mitogenome sequence of stony coral, Favites abdita (Scleractinia), has been decoded for the first time by next-generation sequencing and genome assembly. The assembled mitogenome, consisting of 17,825 bp, has unique 13 protein-
