Transplantation of coral fragment, Acropora formosa (Scleractinia)
The minimum size of coral transplants, Acropora formosa, was assessed to support their survival and growth. For this, 150 coral fragments of different sizes (5, 10, 15 cm) were transplanted close to the donor colony. Their survivorship and growth were observed for 12 months.

Marine benthic flora and fauna of Gourdon Bay and the Dampier Peninsula in the Kimberley region of North-Western Australia [PDF]
Surveys undertaken to characterise the marine benthic habitats along the Dampier Peninsula and further south at Gourdon Bay in the Kimberley region of Western Australia were augmented with epibenthic sled sampling of soft and hard bottom habitats.

Abstract Benthic community structure on present‐day coral reefs is often described as rapidly degrading, yet such summative statements do not capture the effects of spatial heterogeneity in communities. We focus on Moorea, French Polynesia, where the fore reef has shown high ecological resilience in recent decades, and ask whether the adjacent fringing

ABSTRACT Aim Tropical coral reefs are at the forefront of the current triple planetary crisis of climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss. While geographic remoteness is considered to shield reefs from local human pressures, and potentially aid in combating adverse climate change impacts, recent evidence from shallow reefs (0–30 m) to support ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of Alveopora japonica (Scleractinia: Acroporidae)
Here, for the first time, we sequenced the complete mitogenome of Alveopora japonica Eguchi, 1968 (Scleractinia: Acroporidae). Genome size was 17,886 bp with 13 protein-coding, two rRNA, and two tRNA genes.

Desmophyllum dianthus (Esper, 1794) in the scleractinian phylogeny and its intraspecific diversity.
The cosmopolitan solitary deep-water scleractinian coral Desmophyllum dianthus (Esper, 1794) was selected as a representative model species of the polyphyletic Caryophylliidae family to (1) examine phylogenetic relationships with respect to the principal

Tissue Damage in Scleractinian and Alcyonacean Corals Due to Experimental Exposure to Sedimentation [PDF]
Four South African scleractinian corals (Favia favus, Favites pentagona, Platygyra daedalea and Gyrosmilia interrupta) and four alcyonacean corals (Lobophytum depressum, Lobophytum venustum, Sinularia dura and Sinularia leptoclados) were experimentally ...
