ABSTRACT Global warming and rising sea temperatures are pushing many reef‐building coral species towards extinction. As thermal tolerance in corals is partially heritable, identifying genes under thermal selection is critical for targeted biodiversity management.

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

Thermal performance of scleractinian corals
Temperature has a fundamental influence on the physiology, biology and ecology of all organisms, and varies over time and space. Organisms evolved different strategies to cope with this spatial and temporal thermal heterogeneity. For instance, organisms that inhabit thermally variable environments will function over a wider range of temperatures than ...

Transcriptome Analysis of the Scleractinian Coral Stylophora pistillata
The principal architects of coral reefs are the scleractinian corals; these species are divided in two major clades referred to as "robust" and "complex" corals. Although the molecular diversity of the "complex" clade has received considerable attention, with several expressed sequence tag (EST) libraries and a complete genome sequence having been ...

Scleractinian reef corals: identification notes
The purpose of this booklet is to highlight the characters that are most important for distinguishing species of scleractinian reef corals that I have needed to identify or compare for various purposes. Information is taken from: • The Australian Institute of Marine Science monograph series • Corals of the World by Veron, 2000 • New Species

Marine benthic flora and fauna of Gourdon Bay and the Dampier Peninsula in the Kimberley region of North-Western Australia [PDF]
Surveys undertaken to characterise the marine benthic habitats along the Dampier Peninsula and further south at Gourdon Bay in the Kimberley region of Western Australia were augmented with epibenthic sled sampling of soft and hard bottom habitats.

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

Nickel and ocean warming affect scleractinian coral growth
The sensitivity of corals and their Symbiodinium to warming has been extensively documented; however very few studies considered that anthropogenic inputs such as metal pollution have already an impact on many fringing reefs. Thus, today, nickel releases are common in coastal ecosystems.
