Quantifying diversity and growth form distribution of scleractinian corals, in Mangrove Bay, El Qoseir, Egypt [PDF]
Biodiversity Data JournalCoral reefs provide habitat for approximately 25% of all extant marine species, including 845 species of scleractinian corals. These rich ecosystems are becoming increasingly degraded in many regions by a range of anthropogenic factors, including ...

Diversity of cultivable protease-producing bacteria and their extracellular proteases associated to scleractinian corals [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Protease-producing bacteria play a vital role in degrading organic nitrogen in marine environments. However, the diversity of the bacteria and extracellular proteases has seldom been addressed, especially in communities of coral reefs. In this study, 136

Diversity and distribution of symbiodinium associated with seven common coral species in the Chagos Archipelago, Central Indian Ocean [PDF]
, 2012 The Chagos Archipelago designated as a no-take marine protected area in 2010, lying about 500 km south of the Maldives in the Indian Ocean, has a high conservation priority, particularly because of its fast recovery from the ocean-wide massive coral ...

Skeletal P/Ca tracks upwelling in Gulf of Panama coral: Evidence for a new seawater phosphate proxy [PDF]
, 2008 The supply of limiting nutrients to the low latitude ocean is controlled by physical processes linked to climate variations, but methods for reconstructing past nutrient concentrations in the surface ocean are few and indirect.

Mg structural state in coral aragonite and implications for the paleoenvironmental proxy [PDF]
, 2008 Thermodynamic calculations and inorganic precipitation experiments indicate a relationship between aragonite Mg/Ca and water temperature. This offers a route to reconstruct seawater temperatures from fossil corals.

Species sensitivity assessment of five Atlantic scleractinian coral species to 1-methylnaphthalene
Scientific Reports, 2021 Coral reefs are keystone coastal ecosystems that are at risk of exposure to petroleum from a range of sources, and are one of the highest valued natural resources for protection in Net Environmental Benefit Analysis (NEBA) in oil spill response. Previous

Turf algae-mediated coral damage in coastal reefs of Belize, Central America [PDF]
PeerJ, 2014 Many coral reefs in the Caribbean experienced substantial changes in their benthic community composition during the last decades. This often resulted in phase shifts from scleractinian coral dominance to that by other benthic invertebrate or algae ...
