Hopping Hotspots Shaped the Global Biogeography and Diversification of Orectolobiform Sharks
ABSTRACT Aim In marine biogeography, many clades exhibit their greatest species richness in the Central Indo‐Pacific region, which includes the Indo‐Australian Archipelago. However, there is no consensus that this region was the ancestral cradle of clade's species richness.

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.

Association between the squat lobster Gastroptychus formosus and cold-water corals in the North Atlantic [PDF]
Although there are no previous descriptions of the habits of chirostylids in the North Atlantic, it is likely that species in the genera Uroptychus, Eumunida and Gastroptychus have close ecological ties with deep-sea corals since they have all been ...

Thermal performance of scleractinian corals
Temperature has a fundamental influence on the physiology, biology and ecology of all organisms, and varies over time and space. Organisms evolved different strategies to cope with this spatial and temporal thermal heterogeneity. For instance, organisms that inhabit thermally variable environments will function over a wider range of temperatures than ...

Transcriptome Analysis of the Scleractinian Coral Stylophora pistillata
The principal architects of coral reefs are the scleractinian corals; these species are divided in two major clades referred to as "robust" and "complex" corals. Although the molecular diversity of the "complex" clade has received considerable attention, with several expressed sequence tag (EST) libraries and a complete genome sequence having been ...

Scleractinian reef corals: identification notes
The purpose of this booklet is to highlight the characters that are most important for distinguishing species of scleractinian reef corals that I have needed to identify or compare for various purposes. Information is taken from: • The Australian Institute of Marine Science monograph series • Corals of the World by Veron, 2000 • New Species

Nickel and ocean warming affect scleractinian coral growth
The sensitivity of corals and their Symbiodinium to warming has been extensively documented; however very few studies considered that anthropogenic inputs such as metal pollution have already an impact on many fringing reefs. Thus, today, nickel releases are common in coastal ecosystems.
