Coral Genetic Structure in the Western Indian Ocean Mirrors Ocean Circulation and Thermal Stress History

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 2, February 2026.
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]

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.

Thermal performance of scleractinian corals

open access: yes, 2019
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

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
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 ...

The reproductive season of Acropora in Socotra, Yemen [v2; ref status: indexed, http://f1000r.es/392]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2014
Determining when corals reproduce has clear management and economic implications. Here we document the reproductive condition of corals in the genus Acropora on the island of Socotra in Yemen during February 2014.

Scleractinian reef corals: identification notes

open access: yes, 2004
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]

open access: yes, 2011
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]

open access: yes, 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 ...

Nickel and ocean warming affect scleractinian coral growth

open access: yesMarine Pollution Bulletin, 2017
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.
