Sediment‐stressed reefs over the past 420 Myr
The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.In order to fully elucidate the relationship between siliciclastic sedimentation and reef development, there needs to be a significant step change in how we record ancient and recent reefs. Only through the collection of constrained quantitative data, we can progress beyond the largely conjectural associations postulated for many ancient reefal systems.

The Ecological Mechanism of Coral–Algal Phase Shifts: A Case Study of Wenchang in Hainan Province
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.This study selected the coral reef areas in the coastal waters of Wenchang, Hainan, China, which were significantly affected by human activities. Through four consecutive years of field investigations, the key driving factors and potential mechanisms of ecological phase shifts between corals and macroalgae were identified, thus providing a scientific ...

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 ...

Comparative transcriptome analysis reveals deep molecular landscapes in stony coral Montipora clade
Frontiers in Genetics, 2023 Introduction: Coral reefs, among the most invaluable ecosystems in the world, face escalating threats from climate change and anthropogenic activities. To decipher the genetic underpinnings of coral adaptation and resilience, we undertook comprehensive ...

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.

Survival, rarity, and extinction in tropical stony corals
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract Many reef‐building tropical corals are becoming rare. We considered the meaning of rarity in corals and highlighted taxa that have reached low abundances in the last few decades. The difficulties of quantifying rarity in the marine environment arise from the sheer scale and 3‐dimensional nature of the biome and the inherent challenges therein ...

Scientific ReportsMutualism 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 ...
