Climate change promotes parasitism in a coral symbiosis. [PDF]
, 2018 Coastal oceans are increasingly eutrophic, warm and acidic through the addition of anthropogenic nitrogen and carbon, respectively. Among the most sensitive taxa to these changes are scleractinian corals, which engineer the most biodiverse ecosystems on ...

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 ...

Genomic Resources for Imperiled Caribbean Reef-Forming Corals (Hexacorallia: Scleractinia): Complete Mitochondrial Genomes of <i>Dichocoenia stokesii</i>, <i>Diploria labyrinthiformis</i>, <i>Oculina patagonica</i>, and <i>Stephanocoenia intersepta</i>. [PDF]
Ecol EvolMitochondrial genomes of imperiled Caribbean corals are sequenced. These genomic resources will support conservation initiatives. ABSTRACT Coral reefs provide a wide variety of services essential to both marine ecosystems and human societies yet reef‐forming corals are currently facing a multitude of global and local environmental stressors.

Trophic dynamics of scleractinian corals: A stable isotope evidence [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2015 Reef-building corals form symbioses with dinoflagellates from the diverse genus Symbiodinium. This symbiotic association has developed adaptations to acquire and share nutrients, which are essential for its survival and growth in nutrient-poor tropical waters.

Epizoic acoelomorph flatworms compete with their coral host for zooplankton [PDF]
, 2011 Satisfying nutrient requirement of corals is still a major constraint for maintaining corals in marine aquariums. Corals are polytrophic in nature. Heterotrophic feeding on zooplankton is one of the corals’ strategies to overcome nutrient deficiency ...

Symbiont diversity is not involved in depth acclimation in the Mediterranean sea whip Eunicella singularis [PDF]
, 2011 In symbiotic cnidarians, acclimation to depth and lower irradiance can involve physiological changes in the photosynthetic dinoflagellate endosymbiont, such as increased chlorophyll content, or qualitative modifications in the symbiont population in ...

Evolution of Protein-Mediated Biomineralization in Scleractinian Corals [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 While recent strides have been made in understanding the biological process by which stony corals calcify, much remains to be revealed, including the ubiquity across taxa of specific biomolecules involved. Several proteins associated with this process have been identified through proteomic profiling of the skeletal organic matrix (SOM) extracted from ...
