Critical knowledge gaps in the conservation and restoration of cold‐water corals

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Critical knowledge gaps hamper effective conservation of threatened cold‐water coral (CWC) ecosystems, facing cumulative anthropogenic and climate pressures. This review provides a strategic roadmap for urgent, informed intervention.

Genomic Resources for Imperiled Caribbean Reef‐Forming Corals (Hexacorallia: Scleractinia): Complete Mitochondrial Genomes of Dichocoenia stokesii, Diploria labyrinthiformis, Oculina patagonica, and Stephanocoenia intersepta

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Mitochondrial genomes of imperiled Caribbean corals are sequenced. These genomic resources will support conservation initiatives. ABSTRACT Coral reefs provide a wide variety of services essential to both marine ecosystems and human societies yet reef‐forming corals are currently facing a multitude of global and local environmental stressors.

Polyphyly and hidden species among Hawaiʻi’s dominant mesophotic coral genera, Leptoseris and Pavona (Scleractinia: Agariciidae) [PDF]

, 2013
Widespread polyphyly in stony corals (order Scleractinia) has prompted efforts to revise their systematics through approaches that integrate molecular and micromorphological evidence. To date, these approaches have not been comprehensively applied to the

Survival, rarity, and extinction in tropical stony corals

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Many reef‐building tropical corals are becoming rare. We considered the meaning of rarity in corals and highlighted taxa that have reached low abundances in the last few decades. The difficulties of quantifying rarity in the marine environment arise from the sheer scale and 3‐dimensional nature of the biome and the inherent challenges therein ...

Coral biodiversity from Morocco after the End-Triassic mass extinction

BSGF - Earth Sciences Bulletin
Each new coral-bearing outcrop found in Lower Jurassic strata is useful to understand the evolution of corals between the end-Triassic mass extinction and the Toarcian anoxic event.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Montipora aequituberculata (Scleractinia, Acroporidae) [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA Part B, 2017
The complete mitogenome of the hexacorallia, Montipora aequituberculata has been amplified and sequenced. The mitogenome consists of 17,886 bp, with 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 2 transfer RNA genes and a control region. It has been observed that ND5 gene is split into two parts by a large fragment of genes, which commonly presented ...

Overview of the taxonomy of zooxanthellate Scleractinia. [PDF]

Zoological 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

Setting evolutionary-based conservation priorities for a phylogenetically data-poor taxonomic group (Scleractinia) [PDF]

, 2015
Given the current extinction crisis coupled with the shortfall in funding, there is a pressing need to establish species conservation priorities. The prioritization of phylogenetic diversity and evolutionary distinctiveness is one approach; however ...
