Five new coexisting species of copepod crustaceans of the genus Spaniomolgus (Poecilostomatoida: Rhynchomolgidae), symbionts of the stony coral Stylophorapistillata (Scleractinia) [PDF]
Spaniomolgus is a symbiotic genus of copepods of the poecilostomatoid family Rhynchomolgidae and is known to be associated with shallow-water reef-building hermatypic corals.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the Goniopora djiboutiensis
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
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 ...

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

210Pb- 226Ra chronology reveals rapid growth rate of Madrepora oculata and Lophelia pertusa on world's largest cold-water coral reef [PDF]
Here we show the use of the 210Pb- 226Ra excess method to determine the growth rate of two corals from the world's largest known cold-water coral reef, Røst Reef, north of the Arctic circle off Norway.
