Patterns of Genetic Structuring in the Coral Pocillopora Damicornis on Reefs in East Africa. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Studies of population genetic structures provide an indication of direction and magnitude of larval transport and hence are an important component in the assessment of the ability of reefs to recover from severe disturbance.

Shallow-water hard corals (Hexacorallia: Scleractinia) from Bangka Belitung Islands Waters, Indonesia

open access: yesAceh Journal of Animal Science, 2019
Bangka Belitung Islands (Sumatra, Indonesia) has various coastal resources, e.g., coral reefs, seagrass beds, mangrove forests. However, the coral community has been threatened by anthropogenic activities, i.e., tin mining and illegal tin mining ...

Seawater nutrient and carbonate ion concentrations recorded as P/Ca, Ba/Ca, and U/Ca in the deep-sea coral D. dianthus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
As paleoceanographic archives, deep sea coral skeletons offer the potential for high temporal resolution and precise absolute dating, but have not been fully investigated for geochemical reconstructions of past ocean conditions.

Geochemical Mechanisms of Biomineralization from Analysis of Deep-Sea and Laboratory Cultured Corals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The ocean is a major component of global heat transport and represents a large exchangeable reservoir of CO₂. The importance of these effects on climate can be quantified with records of ocean temperature, chemistry and dynamics spanning past climate ...

Detailed visualization of settlement and early development in Leptastrea purpurea reveals distinct bio-optical features

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Sexually produced juvenile scleractinian corals play a key role in the adaptation process of coral reefs, as they are considered to possess an innate plasticity and thus can adjust to changing environmental parameters within a certain range.

LEDs light spectrum effect on the success of fragmentation and growth of the leather coral Sarcophyton spp.

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2014
The increasing demand for soft corals is reflected on the high attention of the scientific community during the last decades, with several studies focus on production techniques and optimization of coral husbandry (Schlacher et al., 2007;Sella and ...

Biogeography and change among regional coral communities across the western Indian Ocean [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Coral reefs are biodiverse ecosystems structured by abiotic and biotic factors operating across many spatial scales. Regional-scale interactions between climate change, biogeography and fisheries management remain poorly understood.

The "naked coral" hypothesis revisited--evidence for and against scleractinian monophyly. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
The relationship between Scleractinia and Corallimorpharia, Orders within Anthozoa distinguished by the presence of an aragonite skeleton in the former, is controversial.

Calcification and photosynthesis in montipora sp. (cnidaria) and corallina officinalis (rhodophyceae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
PhDOver half of the world's calcification is carried out by algae or by organisms which harbour them, such as coccol ithoph ores, foraminiferans, coralline seaweeds and reef-building corals.
