Coral Venom and Toxins as Protection Against Crown‐of‐Thorns Sea Star Attack
Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Crown‐of‐thorns sea star (CoTS) outbreaks are a main cause of hard coral cover decline across the Indo‐Pacific, posing a major threat to the resilience of coral reefs. However, the drivers underlying CoTS feeding on preferred (e.g., Acropora species) versus non‐preferred (e.g., Porites species) are poorly understood. We hypothesised that coral

Algal Symbionts Indicate Heatwave Vulnerability in Corals From Hotspots but Not From Thermal Refugia
Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 2, January 2026.ABSTRACT Reef‐building corals face continued declines due to climate change‐amplified marine heatwaves. In addition to affecting coral heat tolerance, corals' algal endosymbionts (family Symbiodiniaceae) can reflect their prior heatwave exposure, although understanding is often limited to heatwave‐induced shifts between symbiont genera.

PLoS ONE, 2010 BackgroundClassical morphological taxonomy places the approximately 1400 recognized species of Scleractinia (hard corals) into 27 families, but many aspects of coral evolution remain unclear despite the application of molecular phylogenetic methods.

Differential expression of three galaxin-related genes during settlement and metamorphosis in the scleractinian coral Acropora millepora [PDF]
, 2016 BACKGROUND: The coral skeleton consists of CaCO3 deposited upon an organic matrix primarily as aragonite. Currently galaxin, from Galaxea fascicularis, is the only soluble protein component of the organic matrix that has been characterized from a coral.

Brain Transcriptomics Reveals Molecular Mechanisms of Cave Adaptation in Triplophysa Loaches
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.This study compares brain transcriptomes of cave (Triplophysa shilinensis) and surface‐dwelling (T. xiangshuingensis) loaches to uncover molecular adaptations to subterranean life. We identified widespread gene down‐regulation in the cave ecotype, with enriched pathways in energy metabolism, circadian rhythms, sensory perception, and body coloration ...

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 11, Page 3261-3276, November 2025.Abstract The Mediterranean Sea is warming at a rate exceeding the global average. Long‐term, high‐resolution data are essential for contextualizing changes within broader temporal scales, and coral skeletons provide valuable environmental archives, especially in data‐sparse regions or as supplements to existing records.

Acropora (Scleractinia) from the Oligocene and Miocene of Europe: species longevity, origination and turnover following the Eocene–Oligocene transition [PDF]
, 2015 Four new species and new records for six species of the highly successful reef-building coral genus Acropora are described from Oligocene and Early Miocene (Rupelian to Burdigalian) localities in Europe. Acropora slovenica sp. nov.

Marine Heatwaves Transform Coral Symbioses With Enduring Effects
Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 11, November 2025.Marine heatwaves are disrupting coral–algal symbioses, yet their long‐term effects remain poorly understood. Using a decade‐long survey (2013–2023), we document a lasting transformation of symbiont assemblages, evidence of a local symbiont extinction, and indications that local human disturbance may impede symbiont recovery following a major marine ...
