Grounds, Beds, and Reefs of the Endangered Coral Cladocora caespitosa With Description of the Tremiti Reef

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study provides an overview of the distribution of the three ecosystem types formed by Cladocora caespitosa and describes newly discovered ones at Tremiti Islands (Adriatic Sea, Italy). The spatial distribution, biometry, size structure, and conservation status of the Cladocora formations have been investigated and compared at the Mediterranean ...

Lipid content and composition of oocytes from five coral species: potential implications for future cryopreservation efforts. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Given the previously documented importance of lipid concentration and composition in the successful cryopreservation of gorgonian corals, these parameters were assessed in oocytes of five species of scleractinian coral; Platygyra daedalea, Echinopora ...

Genomic Resources for Imperiled Caribbean Reef‐Forming Corals (Hexacorallia: Scleractinia): Complete Mitochondrial Genomes of Dichocoenia stokesii, Diploria labyrinthiformis, Oculina patagonica, and Stephanocoenia intersepta

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Mitochondrial genomes of imperiled Caribbean corals are sequenced. These genomic resources will support conservation initiatives. ABSTRACT Coral reefs provide a wide variety of services essential to both marine ecosystems and human societies yet reef‐forming corals are currently facing a multitude of global and local environmental stressors.

The influence of extreme climate events on models of coral colony recruitment and survival in the Caribbean [PDF]

, 2012
Knowledge of coral recruitment patterns helps us understand how reefs react following major disturbances and provides us with an early warning system for predicting future reef health problems.

Effects of the Allelopathic Macroalga Galaxaura divaricata on the Foraging Behaviors of Reef Fishes Across Herbivorous and Nonherbivorous Feeding Guilds

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Herbivorous fishes reduce their feeding with allelopathic macroalga: Galaxaura, while nonherbivorous fishes didn't change their feeding with Galaxaura. Feeding reduction with Galaxaura differed across fish species and may vary by morphology or chemical resistance of different fish species.

A genomic approach to coral-dinoflagellate symbiosis: Studies of Acropora digitifera and Symbiodinium minutum

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014
Far more intimate knowledge of scleractinian coral biology is essential in order to understand how diverse coral-symbiont endosymbioses have been established. In particular, molecular and cellular mechanisms enabling the establishment and maintenance of

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 ...

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 ...

Association between the squat lobster Gastroptychus formosus and cold-water corals in the North Atlantic [PDF]

, 2010
Although there are no previous descriptions of the habits of chirostylids in the North Atlantic, it is likely that species in the genera Uroptychus, Eumunida and Gastroptychus have close ecological ties with deep-sea corals since they have all been ...
