Sea Urchins Predation Facilitates Coral Invasion in a Marine Reserve [PDF]

, 2011
Macroalgae is the dominant trophic group on Mediterranean infralittoral rocky bottoms, whereas zooxanthellate corals are extremely rare. However, in recent years, the invasive coral Oculina patagonica appears to be increasing its abundance through ...

Histological studies on the origin of planulae of the coral Pocillopora damicornis [PDF]

, 2000
The coral Pocillopora damicornis develops gonads and releases planulae on a lunar cycle throughout most of its range. Planulae of P. damicornis in some populations display the same allozyme pattern as their mother colonies, suggesting that planulae might

Lithochloron, a new genus of green algae residing in coral skeleton (Cladophorales, Chlorophyta)

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Coral skeletons host diverse microbial communities, including endolithic green algae that contribute to holobiont functioning. The siphonous green alga Ostreobium (Bryopsidales) is arguably the best‐known coral endolith, but recent environmental sequencing has indicated that other lineages of green algae may also inhabit the coral skeleton ...

Reconstruction of deglacial sea surface temperatures in the tropical Pacific from selective analysis of a fossil coral [PDF]

, 2005
The Sr/Ca of coral skeletons demonstrates potential as an indicator of sea surface temperatures (SSTs). However, the glacial-interglacial SST ranges predicted from Sr/Ca of fossil corals are usually higher than from other marine proxies.

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.

The Fate of Deep-Sea Coral Reefs on Seamounts in a Fishery-Seascape: What Are the Impacts, What Remains, and What Is Protected?

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Environmental harm to deep-sea coral reefs on seamounts is widely attributed to bottom trawl fishing. Yet, accurate diagnoses of impacts truly caused by trawling are surprisingly rare.

Mesophotic octocoral larval settlement preferences and behaviors

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Lab‐based coral reproduction is advancing restoration efforts to support coral populations injured by the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Objectives This study aimed to answer foundational questions concerning coral spawning and larval settlement that need to be resolved for these mesophotic and deep‐sea coral species before ...

Antifouling capacity of substrate materials and their effects on settlement and post‐settlement survival of Acropora palmata and Orbicella faveolata

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction In coral reef restoration, sexual reproduction is a key methodology to enhance coral population recovery. However, post‐settlement survival remains a major bottleneck, as spat are particularly vulnerable to competition with fouling organisms.

Fossil Corals With Various Degrees of Preservation Can Retain Information About Biomineralization-Related Organic Material

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Scleractinian corals typically form a robust calcium carbonate skeleton beneath their living tissue. This skeleton, through its trace element composition and isotope ratios, may record environmental conditions of water surrounding the coral animal. While
