ABSTRACT Patterns in deep‐sea coral (DSC) diversity and distribution are described for a range of benthic habitat features including offshore banks, continental shelf and slope, and submarine canyons in three national marine sanctuaries off the coast of North‐central California.

Next-generation sequencing yields the complete mitogenome of Favia favus
In the present study, we determined the complete mitogenome sequence of scleractinia, Favia favus using the Illumina HiSeq platform. The assembled mitogenome was 17,054 bp in length, comprising unique 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNAs, and

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

Cold-water corals build up reef structures or coral gardens and play an important role for many organisms in the deep sea. Climate change, deep-sea mining, and bottom trawling are severely compromising these ecosystems, making it all the more important ...

Using antibodies raised against in vitro cultured cells, we determined the property of coral larval cells. Neuronal cells, ectoderm cells, and endoderm cells were characterized. Abstract In previous studies, we have established approximately 15 cultured cell‐lines derived from planula larvae of Acropora tenuis.

Morphological variation in the atlantic genus Siderastrea (Anthozoa, Scleractinia) [PDF]
Siderastrea is a small genus of scleractinian corals, composed by zooxanthellate massive colonial forms. Besides contributing to the consolidation of the reef structure, represent a group with significant resistance to environmental stress. Until the 70's, its taxonomy was a complicated task, limited by the difficulty in identifying morphotypes.

ABSTRACT Aim The exploration of submarine canyons offshore southwestern Australia using remotely operated vehicles (ROV) has documented the occurrence of cold‐water coral (CWC) ecosystems, predominantly along the heads and slopes of the canyons. Representing the first major ROV investigation in this region, information on CWC distribution in this area ...
