Scleractinia: The Reef-Builders
1997Abstract To gain an appreciation of the diverse nature of coral reef systems in the vast Indonesian Archipelago, some understanding of basic coral taxonomy and biology’ is helpful. This is especially true for systems where one particular assemblage of organisms can be considered as the “ecological dominants.” Reef-building corals ...

Phototaxis in Fungiidae corals (Scleractinia)
Marine Biology, 1995Corals within the scleractinian family Fungiidae were observed to move toward light (positive phototaxis). Negative phototactic movement was not observed in any of the specimens tested. On sandy substratum, Diaseris distorta moved faster (max. speed of 3 cm h-1) than other species. Although D. distorta has symbiotic algae, phototactic movement also was

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 ...

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.

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.

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
