Scleractinia soft tissue systematics
2018<p>Coral reefs are some of the most diverse ecosystems in the world and provide economic value as well as biodiversity stability. Yet, these ecosystems are threatened from human degradation and climate change. Phylogenetic reconstructions can help identify which species have a potential to undergo greater amounts of change in the near future and ...

Caryophylliidae (Scleractinia) from the Colombian Caribbean
Zootaxa, 2009The family Caryophylliidae comprises the highest diversity of hard corals (Order Scleractinia), represented by more than 300 species around the world. More than 90% are non-symbiotic species (azooxanthellate), whereas less than 30 species are symbiotic (zooxanthellate) or facultative (apozooxanthellate) species.

An energy budget for Porites porites (Scleractinia)
Marine Biology, 1986An energy budget for Porites porites (Pallas) was determined for specimens from 10 m depth on the Fore Reef of Discovery Bay, Jamaica, between July 1984 and July 1985. Evidence for habitual zooplankton ingestion was not obtained, and P. porites appears to be largely autotrophic.

Sweeper Polyps of the Coral Goniopora tenuidens (Scleractinia: Poritidae)
Invertebrate Biology, 1999The massive coral Goniopora tenuidens can develop elongated sweeper polyps. These are thought to be involved in aggressive interactions with neighbouring benthic organ isms, like the sweeper tentacles of other corals. The cnidoms of sweeper polyps and ordinary polyps of G. tenuidens from the Great Barrier Reef were compared.

Paleozoic Scleractinia: progenitors or extinct experiments?
Paleobiology, 1998Abstract The Scleractinia, which are one of the most important builders of modern reefs, have been considered to have first appeared in the Middle Triassic. Recently, Paleozoic scleractiniamorphs have been reported from both the Ordovician and the Permian, suggesting that the scleractinian-like body plan was already established in the

New ascothoracid crustacean endoparasites of Scleractinia
Journal of Natural History, 1985The ascothoracid crustacean genus Petrarca, endoparasites of scleractinian corals, is reviewed and revised. Petrarca bathyactidis, the type-species, is partly redescribed. The range of P. okadai is extended to East Africa. Three new species of Petrarca are described: P. indica in Flabellum deludens from the Indian Ocean near Ceylon; P.

A bibliography for the taxonomy of extant and extinct Scleractinia
2015The bibliography includes works concerning the nomenclature and taxonomy of Scleractinia, in particular those containing acts of nomenclature. The list is compiled as part of the Corallosphere project [(corallosphere.org)](http://www.corallosphere.org), an online revision of the genera of Scleractinia.

The potential of type species to destabilise the taxonomy of zooxanthellate Scleractinia
Zootaxa, 2015The ongoing demise of zooxanthellate Scleractinia from world-wide environmental deterioration has prompted a very large number of people including aquarists, managers, students, conservationists and scientists to work on reef corals. These people have a right to expect their various endeavors to be based on a nomenclature derived from taxonomic studies
