Expression of a symbiosis-specific gene in Symbiodinium type A1 associated with coral, nudibranch and giant clam larvae [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2017
Symbiodinium are responsible for the majority of primary production in coral reefs and found in a mutualistic symbiosis with multiple animal phyla. However, little is known about the molecular signals involved in the establishment of this symbiosis and ...

Critical Information Gaps Impeding Understanding of the Role of Larval Connectivity Among Coral Reef Islands in an Era of Global Change

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Populations of marine organisms on coral reef islands (CRI) are connected in space and time by seawater that transports propagules of plants, animals, and algae.

V-type H+-ATPase in the symbiosome membrane is a conserved mechanism for host control of photosynthesis in anthozoan photosymbioses

Royal Society Open Science, 2022
In reef-building corals (order Scleractinia) and giant clams (phylum Molluca), V-type H+-ATPase (VHA) in host cells is part of a carbon concentrating mechanism (CCM) that regulates photosynthetic rates of their symbiotic algae.

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome sequences of three Merulinidae corals and novel insights into the phylogenetics [PDF]

PeerJ, 2020
Over the past few decades, modern coral taxonomy, combining morphology and molecular sequence data, has resolved many long-standing questions about scleractinian corals.

Cnidae variability in Balanophyllia europaea and B. regia (Scleractinia: Dendrophylliidae) in the NE Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea

Scientia Marina, 2005
Traditionally and for practical reasons, skeleton structure has been the main source of taxonomic characters for scleractinian systematics, whereas information from soft tissues has been comparatively neglected.

Rare coral under the genomic microscope: timing and relationships among Hawaiian Montipora [PDF]

, 2019
Background Evolutionary patterns of scleractinian (stony) corals are difficult to infer given the existence of few diagnostic characters and pervasive phenotypic plasticity.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Montipora efflorescens (Scleractinia: Acroporidae) [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA Part B, 2020
The complete mitogenome of the Sclreractinia, Montipora efflorescens Bernard, 1897 was sequenced for the first time. It had 17,887 bp, with 13 protein-coding genes, and two rRNA and two tRNA genes. Composition of M. efflorescens mitogenome was identical to that of typical Scleractinians.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the Goniopora djiboutiensis

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
In the present study, we determined the complete mitogenome sequence of scleractinia, Goniopora djiboutiensis using Illumina HiSeq platform. The assembled mitogenome was 18,765 bp in length, comprising unique 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal

Distribution and structure of the southernmost Caribbean coral reefs: golfo de Urabá, Colombia

Scientia Marina, 2000
The Gulf of Urabá represents the southernmost portion of the Caribbean Sea. Due to the large amounts of sediment and freshwater discharged by the Atrato river and several minor streams, water conditions in the area are far from being optimal for coral ...
