Immunological specificity and memory in a scleractinian coral
Nature, 1977Tissue transplantation immunity with a specific memory component is demonstrated in populations of Montipora. This highly discriminating immunoreactivity derives from extensive allogeneic polymorphism of histocompatibility (H) markers. An H system of immunorecognition is postulated to have originated in multicellular invertebrates probably beginning ...

A Cretaceous Scleractinian Coral with a Calcitic Skeleton
Science, 2007It has been generally thought that scleractinian corals form purely aragonitic skeletons. We show that a well-preserved fossil coral, Coelosmilia sp. from the Upper Cretaceous (about 70 million years ago), has preserved skeletal structural features identical to those observed in present-day scleractinians.

Biodiversity of Reef-Building, Scleractinian Corals
2019Zooxanthellate scleractinian corals are moderately well-known for shallow reef habitats, but not for mesophotic depths (>30 m) that are relatively difficult to access. Mesophotic habitats are light-limited, with different hydrodynamics and sedimentation processes, which result in growth forms that are often difficult to classify using traditional ...

Scleractinian Coral Species Survive and Recover from Decalcification
Science, 2007Anthropogenic-driven accumulation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and projected ocean acidification have raised concerns regarding the eventual impact on coral reefs. This study demonstrates that skeleton-producing corals grown in acidified experimental conditions are able to sustain basic life functions, including reproductive ability, in a sea ...

Patterns of Fluorescent Protein Expression in Scleractinian Corals
The Biological Bulletin, 2008Biofluorescence exists in only a few classes of organisms, with Anthozoa possessing the majority of species known to express fluorescent proteins. Most species within the Anthozoan subgroup Scleractinia (reef-building corals) not only express green fluorescent proteins, they also localize the proteins in distinct anatomical patterns.We examined the ...
