The influence of seawater pH on U / Ca ratios in the scleractinian cold-water coral Lophelia pertusa [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The increasing pCO2 in seawater is a serious threat for marine calcifiers and alters the biogeochemistry of the ocean. Therefore, the reconstruction of past-seawater properties and their impact on marine ecosystems is an important way to investigate the ...

Nickel and ocean warming affect scleractinian coral growth

open access: yesMarine Pollution Bulletin, 2017
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.

Corals not serpulids: mineralized colonial fossils in the Lower Jurassic marginal facies of South Wales [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Poorly preserved colonial corals occur near the base of the Lower Jurassic marginal facies at Southerndown, South Wales. Previously they have been interpreted as serpulid colonies, despite a dissimilarity to any serpulids known from elsewhere in the Lias

The ancient evolutionary origins of Scleractinia revealed by azooxanthellate corals

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2011
Background Scleractinian corals are currently a focus of major interest because of their ecological importance and the uncertain fate of coral reefs in the face of increasing anthropogenic pressure.

Marked spatial heterogeneity of macro-benthic communities along a shallow-mesophotic depth gradient in Reunion Island

open access: yesScientific Reports
Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) have gained considerable attention this last decade but the paucity of knowledge on these ecosystems is pronounced, particularly in the Southwestern Indian Ocean region. We explore the spatial variation in macro-benthic

Determining the diversity and relative abundance of coral taxa in wild spawning slicks for effective restoration

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution
Coral reefs are increasingly threatened by climate change-induced stressors, including marine heatwaves, which can lead to coral mortality, reduced reproductive output, and compromised natural recovery.

Coral spawning patterns on the Luhuitou fringing reef in Hainan Island of the northern South China Sea

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
Observation of coral spawning times is valuable to detect spawning patterns and identify the potential mechanisms behind coral reproduction. Although large amount of data on global coral spawning records have become available over the past decades ...

Environmental DNA metabarcoding reveals geologic, not geographic, drivers of coral community structure in Palau

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
Coral reefs in tropical and subtropical oceans are complex ecosystems characterized by high biodiversity. Zooxanthellate scleractinians are a major component of these reefs. However, the factors influencing coral community establishment and the diversity
