Coral reefs, the most biodiverse habitats in the ocean, are formed by anthozoan cnidarians, the scleractinian corals. Recently, however, ongoing climate change has imperiled scleractinian corals and coral reef environments are changing drastically. Thus,

The growth of scleractinian corals is strongly influenced by the effect of water motion. Corals are known to have a high level of phenotypic variation and exhibit a diverse range of growth forms, which often contain a high level of geometric complexity ...

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 ...

Analysis of recovery patterns of Indian Ocean coral reefs through examination of scleractinian communities and populations [PDF]
This thesis examines the colony size structure and taxonomic composition of coral communities from eight regions of the Indian Ocean approximately 10 years after thermal stress-induced mass mortality events.

Interdependence between reef fishes and scleractinian corals [PDF]
Scleractinian corals are the primary habitat-forming species in healthy, intact coral reef ecosystems. Removal or destruction of corals will therefore, profoundly alter the structure and dynamics of coral-reef habitats, with likely effects across a ...

Sexual reproduction, development and larval biology in scleractinian corals
This paper brings together widely scattered information on sexual reproduction in scleractinian corals. It includes a review of information and ideas on sex determination, gametogenesis, gametogenic cycles, fertilization and embryonic development ...

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.
