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

Frontiers 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.

Frontiers 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 ...

²¹⁰Pb- ²²⁶Ra chronology reveals rapid growth rate of Madrepora oculata and Lophelia pertusa on world's largest cold-water coral reef [PDF]

, 2012
Here we show the use of the 210Pb- 226Ra excess method to determine the growth rate of two corals from the world's largest known cold-water coral reef, Røst Reef, north of the Arctic circle off Norway.

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

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

Sea anemones may thrive in a high CO2 world [PDF]

, 2012
Increased seawater pCO 2, and in turn 'ocean acidification' (OA), is predicted to profoundly impact marine ecosystem diversity and function this century.

Coral Venom and Toxins as Protection Against Crown-of-Thorns Sea Star Attack. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Crown‐of‐thorns sea star (CoTS) outbreaks are a main cause of hard coral cover decline across the Indo‐Pacific, posing a major threat to the resilience of coral reefs. However, the drivers underlying CoTS feeding on preferred (e.g., Acropora species) versus non‐preferred (e.g., Porites species) are poorly understood. We hypothesised that coral

Dietary resilience of coral reef fishes to habitat degradation

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Metabarcoding of gut contents shows that two common benthic‐feeding reef fishes with different feeding stratgies—a butterflyfish (Chaetodon capistratus) and a hamlet (Hypoplectrus puella)—shift diets on degraded reefs. These shifts mirror contrasting patterns in body condition: butterflyfish showed strong individual variation, whereas condition was ...

Mitochondrial and nuclear genes suggest that stony corals are monophyletic but most families of stony corals are not (Order Scleractinia, Class Anthozoa, Phylum Cnidaria) [PDF]

, 2008
Modern hard corals (Class Hexacorallia; Order Scleractinia) are widely studied because of their fundamental role in reef building and their superb fossil record extending back to the Triassic.

Spatial Heterogeneity in the Photosynthetic Characteristics of Scleractinian coral Symbiodinium from the Northern South China Sea

Redai dili
Investigations have revealed significant degradation of nearshore coral reef areas in the South China Sea in recent decades; thus, coral reef conservation is in urgent need of more scientific management insights.
