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.

Rapid Evolution in a Coral Population Following a Mass Mortality Event

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Globally, corals face an increased frequency of mass mortality events (MMEs) as populations experience repeated marine heatwaves which disrupt their obligate algal symbiosis. Despite greater occurrences of MMEs, the relative roles of the environment, host, and symbiont genetic variation in survival, subsequent recovery, and carry‐over effects ...

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.

Biological Regulation of Coaxial Calcite‐Aragonite‐Calcite Skeleton Formation in a Deep‐Sea Gorgonian Coral

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 2, 28 January 2026.
Abstract Coral biomineralization typically yields either aragonite (in most scleractinians) or calcite (in octocorals), yet the drivers of this polymorph choice remain debated. Here we report a deep‐sea gorgonian coral (Callogorgia sp.) with a coaxial calcite–aragonite–calcite skeleton.

Impacts of stratospheric aerosol geoengineering strategy on Caribbean coral reefs [PDF]

, 2017
Purpose: Currently, negotiation on global carbon emissions reduction is very difficult due to lack of international willingness. In response, geoengineering (climate engineering) strategy is proposed to artificially cool the planet.

Isothermal Thermoluminescence Dating of Coral Reef Calcite: Implications for Sea‐Level Change

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 2, 28 January 2026.
Abstract Reconstructing past sea‐level changes is critical in Quaternary science. On remote oceanic reefs, aragonite‐to‐calcite alteration occurs during subaerial exposure, directly recording the timing of sea‐level fall. U–Th dating of coral calcite is challenging due to open‐system issues.

Selective Effects of Environmental Conditions and Protection Levels on Herbivorous Fish Functions in the Largest South Atlantic Reef Complex

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Herbivorous fish are key components in maintaining functionality in reef environments; however, this group is widely threatened by overfishing and habitat degradation. Investigating the main factors determining the structure of herbivorous fish becomes paramount to defining management strategies amid anthropogenic impacts. This study evaluated

The influence of seawater pH on U / Ca ratios in the scleractinian cold-water coral Lophelia pertusa [PDF]

, 2014
The increasing pCO2 in seawater is a serious threat for marine calcifiers and alters the biogeochemistry of the ocean. Therefore, the reconstruction of past-seawater properties and their impact on marine ecosystems is an important way to investigate the ...
