Immunolocalization of Proteins in Corals: the V-type H+-ATPase Proton Pump

open access: yesBio-Protocol, 2015
Here we describe the immunolocalization of a membrane-bound proton pump, the V-type H+-ATPase (VHA), in tissues and isolated cells of scleractinian corals.

Skeleton Precedes Polyp: Visualization of Structural Changes During Coral Growth in Montipora capricornis

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Using high‐resolution micro‐computed tomography, this study demonstrates that in Montipora capricornis, skeleton–canal network formation precedes polyp budding at colony margins, with a “transit area” (volumes ~1 mm3, skeleton‐to‐void ratio 20%–35%) in tubular canals serving as a pathway for polyp migration to new calices.

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

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

Environmental DNA as a Tool for the Assessment of Coral (Anthozoa) Composition in the Chagos Archipelago

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.
Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding using ITS2 markers reliably recovered 18 coral genera, with strong overlap but also complementary detections compared to benthic transect surveys. eDNA uniquely identified several cryptic genera, while some common genera were only recovered by traditional surveys, highlighting method‐specific biases.

Carbon pathways and trophic attributes are conserved in carnivorous reef fishes across a major human disturbance gradient

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 1, Page 39-53, January 2026.
Our research leverages a natural, ecosystem‐scale experiment and cutting‐edge molecular isotope approaches to reveal that coral reef food web structure and energy flow can remain consistent across a gradient of human disturbance. Abstract Habitat degradation and overexploitation are key drivers of biodiversity loss globally.

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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

Cryptic Species: A Mismatch between Genetics and Morphology in Millepora [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Millepore morphology is highly variable and shows signs of phenotypic plasticity. Two species of Millepora are present around the islands of the Bahamas: one exhibiting a strong, blade-like structure, Millepora complanata, and the other having a delicate

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

open access: yes, 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.

Non‐Invasive Underwater DNA Sampling Illuminates Red Sea Echinoderm Diversity

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Species‐specific non‐invasive underwater DNA sampling remains largely understudied for marine invertebrates despite its potential to revolutionise biodiversity assessment of vulnerable species or fragile ecosystems. Comprehensive species‐specific DNA barcode databases are essential for accurate species identification and taxonomic assignment ...
