Not all rhodoliths need a bed–depositional mechanisms in shallow water Sporolithon nodosum rhodoliths from the Whangaparaoa peninsula (North Island, New Zealand)

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rhodoliths, formed by crustose coralline algae (CCA), are prominent components in carbonate platform deposits, contributing to the characteristic rhodalgal facies. Their formation is influenced by both biological and physical factors, and under specific conditions, they can accumulate, forming extensive rhodolith beds.

Iodine-to-calcium ratios in deep-sea scleractinian and bamboo corals

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
The distribution of dissolved iodine in seawater is sensitive to multiple biogeochemical cycles, including those of nitrogen and oxygen. The iodine-to-calcium ratio (I/Ca) of marine carbonates, such as bulk carbonate or foraminifera, has emerged as a ...

Advancing Symbiodiniaceae Functional Ecology Through a Trait‐Based Framework

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Symbiodiniaceae dinoflagellates are central to coral reef functioning, supporting primary production, nutrient cycling, calcification, and influencing coral thermal tolerance through intracellular symbiosis. Despite their ecological importance, these symbionts have not yet been incorporated into a formal functional ecology framework due to challenges ...

Application of Denaturing Gradient Gel ElectrophoresisApplication of Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis(DGGE) Methods on Parent-Offspring Relationship of the Coral Pocillopora damicornis [PDF]

, 2008
DGGE (Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis) is the most powerful methods for mutation detection currentlyavailable. In DGGE, DNA fragments of the same length but with different sequences can be separated.

Coral bleaching responses in Sodwana Bay, South Africa [PDF]

, 2013
This study assessed the bleaching response (BR) of coral colonies within the central reef complex in Sodwana Bay, South Africa. Bleach surveys were conducted at 16 sites on 8 reefs over the period of 2007 to 2013. A total of 12 858 coral colonies from 30

Peroxynitrite Generation and Increased Heterotrophic Capacity Are Linked to the Disruption of the Coral–Dinoflagellate Symbiosis in a Scleractinian and Hydrocoral Species

Microorganisms, 2019
Ocean warming is one of the greatest global threats to coral reef ecosystems; it leads to the disruption of the coral–dinoflagellate symbiosis (bleaching) and to nutrient starvation, because corals mostly rely on autotrophy (i.e., the supply of ...

Corallivore assemblage, feeding behavior, and cover of Acropora corals drive fish corallivory on tropical reefs

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Understanding spatial patterns and drivers of corallivory is essential for assessing reef resilience and identifying recovery pathways. Fish corallivory patterns arise from the complex direct and indirect effects of key factors, including food availability (cover of preferred corals), the nature of the corallivore assemblage (richness and ...

Mucus carbohydrate composition correlates with scleractinian coral phylogeny

Scientific Reports
The mucus surface layer serves vital functions for scleractinian corals and consists mainly of carbohydrates. Its carbohydrate composition has been suggested to be influenced by environmental conditions (e.g., temperature, nutrients) and microbial ...

Reconstructing Climate From Coral Skeletal Banding: Statistical Effects of Replicating Cores and Observers

Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Corals archive past ocean‐climate variability in their annual skeletal density bands, but the reliability of these records is dependent on precise and reproducible measurements. We assessed how variability among observers and cores affects coral growth measurements and their relationship with climate indices.
