Transplantation of coral fragment, Acropora formosa (Scleractinia)

open access: yesAQUATIC SCIENCE & MANAGEMENT, 2014
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.

High‐resolution coral oxygen and carbon isotope records reveal temperature and autotrophy dynamics in a Mediterranean climate change hotspot

open access: yesLimnology 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.

An illustrated key to the genera and subgenera of the Recent azooxanthellate Scleractinia (Cnidaria, Anthozoa), with an attached glossary

open access: yesZooKeys, 2012
The 120 presently recognized genera and seven subgenera of the azooxanthellate Scleractinia are keyed using gross morphological characters of the corallum. All genera are illustrated with calicular and side views of coralla.

Marine Heatwaves Transform Coral Symbioses With Enduring Effects

open access: yesEcology 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 ...

Tissue Damage in Scleractinian and Alcyonacean Corals Due to Experimental Exposure to Sedimentation [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
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 ...

Ancient Hybridisation Fuelled Diversification in Acropora Corals

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 22, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Introgression is the infiltration or flow of genes from one species to another through hybridisation followed by backcrossing. This may lead to incorrect phylogenetic reconstruction or divergence‐time estimation. Acropora is a dominant genus of reef‐building corals; however, whether this group has an introgression history before their ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of Alveopora japonica (Scleractinia: Acroporidae)

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2018
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.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
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
