The ancient evolutionary origins of Scleractinia revealed by azooxanthellate corals [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2011
Background Scleractinian corals are currently a focus of major interest because of their ecological importance and the uncertain fate of coral reefs in the face of increasing anthropogenic pressure.

The Azooxanthellate Scleractinia (Coelenterata: Anthozoa) of Australia [PDF]

open access: bronzeRecords of the Australian Museum, 2004
A total of 237 species of azooxanthellate Scleractinia are reported for the Australian region, including seamounts off the eastern coast. Two new genera (Lissotrochus and Stolarskicyathus) and 15 new species are described: Crispatotrochus gregarius, Paracyathus darwinensis, Stephanocyathus imperialis, Trochocyathus wellsi, Conocyathus formosus ...

Coral Restoration in the Omics Era: Development of Point-of-Care Tools for Monitoring Disease, Reproduction, and Thermal Stress. [PDF]

open access: yesBioessays
Shown are different multi‐omics approaches that are used to identify potential biomarkers of coral health and disease. The integration of these data streams, using cutting‐edge molecular diagnostic technologies, including colorimetric dipsticks, lateral flow assays, and colorimetric LAMP (loop‐mediated isothermal amplification), holds the promise to ...

Phylogeny of the coral genus Plesiastrea (Cnidaria, Scleractinia) [PDF]

open access: greenContributions to Zoology, 2011
Until coral molecular phylogenies were published, the genus Plesiastrea was traditionally part of the family Faviidae and considered by several authors to be closely related to the genus Montastraea. However, genetic data has shown that Plesiastrea versipora, the genus type species, is evolutionarily distinct within the Robust clade of the Scleractinia

SAMPLE: An R Package to Estimate Sampling Effort for Species' Occurrence Rates. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
This study presents SAMPLE, a novel R package that guides researchers in determining adequate sampling effort for accurately estimating species occurrence rates, a fundamental metric underlying many spatial ecology analyses. Through a real‐world case study of coral‐dwelling species and simulations, we demonstrate how SAMPLE can account for factors like

Revision of the family Asteroseriidae (Anthozoa, Scleractinia, Cretaceous) [PDF]

open access: greenGeodiversitas, 2013
ABSTRACT The Cretaceous coral family Asteroseriidae (suborder Fungiina) is revised on the basis of its type genus and respective type species. The family encompasses small solitary patellate corals with compact septa in a regular hexameral symmetry. Septa are made of large trabeculae expressed in a regularly ornamented upper septal margin and septal ...

Late Holocene "Turn-Off" of Coral Reef Growth in the Northern Red Sea and Implications for a Sea-Level Fall. [PDF]

open access: yesGlob Chang Biol
Coral reefs play a crucial role in the global carbon cycle and protect coastlines from erosion, but their responses to future environmental changes remain uncertain. This study documents coral growth and ecological patterns in the Gulf of Eilat/Aqaba, revealing a significant hiatus in reef growth between 4400 and 1000 years BP, with reappearance of ...

Overview of the taxonomy of zooxanthellate Scleractinia [PDF]

open access: yesZoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2013
Coral taxonomy has entered a historical phase where nomenclatorial uncertainty is rapidly increasing. The fundamental cause is mandatory adherence to historical monographs that lack essential information of all sorts, and also to type specimens, if they exist at all, that are commonly unrecognizable fragments or are uncharacteristic of the species they
