Coral community decline at Bonaire, Southern Caribbean [PDF]

, 2011
We assessed the status of coral reef benthic communities at Bonaire, Netherlands Antilles, in December 2008 and January 2009 through ∼5 km of photo transects taken at depths of 5, 10, and 20 m at 14 locations around the island.

Expanding Knowledge of Sea Pen (Octocorallia: Pennatuloidea) Diversity and Distribution Through Integrative Taxonomy: Insights From Hong Kong's Coastal Waters

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Based on a combined molecular and morphological analysis, this study identifies nine sea pen species in Hong Kong's waters, including three newly described species. The findings provide new DNA sequences and clarify phylogenetic relationships, support revisions to Pennatuloidea systematics, and update species distributions in the Northwest Pacific ...

Complete Mitochondrial Genome of Porites cylindrica From the Xisha Islands: Characterization and Comparative Mitogenomics of the Genus

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
In this study, we sequenced the dominant species, Porites andrewsi, in the Xisha Islands of the South China Sea, assembled its mitochondrial genome, and analyzed the evolution of the mitochondrial genome of Porites species in combination with 12 other mitochondrial genomes from nine other species.

Influence of sipunculan (peanut worm) activity on orifice formation in scleractinian Heterocyathus for adaptation to soft substrates

Scientific Reports
Mutualism profoundly affects the morphology and ecological evolution of both hosts and symbionts involved. Heterocyathus is a solitary scleractinian coral that lives on soft substrata, and sipunculan worms live symbiotically in the tube-like cavities ...

Temperature-Driven Local Acclimatization of Symbiodnium Hosted by the Coral Galaxea fascicularis at Hainan Island, China

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
The success of coral reef ecosystems largely depends on mutualistic symbiosis between scleractinian corals and the dinoflagellate photosymbiont Symbiodinium spp.

Borneo coral reefs subject to high sediment loads show evidence of resilience to various environmental stressors [PDF]

, 2019
For reefs in South East Asia the synergistic effects of rapid land development, insufficient environmental policies and a lack of enforcement has led to poor water quality and compromised coral health from increased sediment and pollution.

A Revised Estimate of Calcium Carbonate Dissolution in Coastal and Shelf Sediments Suggests Large Shelf Exports in the Marine CaCO3 Cycle

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 40, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) dissolution plays a key role in the marine carbon and alkalinity cycles and the regulation of atmospheric CO2 levels across geological time scales. Until now, most attention has focused on dissolution in the deep sea, while dissolution in coastal and shelf environments remains poorly constrained.
