Caspases from scleractinian coral show unique regulatory features [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2020
AbstractDiseases affecting coral have led to massive decline and altered the community structure of reefs. In response to immune challenges, cnidaria activate apoptotic or autophagic pathways, and the particular pathway correlates with disease sensitivity (apoptosis) or resistance (autophagy).

Tumor formations in scleractinian corals [PDF]

Helgoländer Meeresuntersuchungen, 1984
A highly localized incidence of skeletal malformations (tumors) in the scleractinian coralsPlatygyra pini andP. sinensis on an inshore fringing reef at Cockle Bay, Magnetic Island within the Great Barrier Reef province is reported. These tumors are typified by a localized area of increased growth rate resulting in roughly circular protuberances ...

Corallimorpharians are not “naked corals”: insights into relationships between Scleractinia and Corallimorpharia from phylogenomic analyses [PDF]

PeerJ, 2016
Calcification is one of the most distinctive traits of scleractinian corals. Their hard skeletons form the substratum of reef ecosystems and confer on corals their remarkable diversity of shapes.

Divergent Capacity of Scleractinian and Soft Corals to Assimilate and Transfer Diazotrophically Derived Nitrogen to the Reef Environment

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Corals are associated with dinitrogen (N2)-fixing bacteria that potentially represent an additional nitrogen (N) source for the coral holobiont in oligotrophic reef environments.

Using Stable Isotope Analyses to Assess the Trophic Ecology of Scleractinian Corals

Oceans, 2022
Studies on the trophic ecology of scleractinian corals often include stable isotope analyses of tissue and symbiont carbon and nitrogen. These approaches have provided critical insights into the trophic sources and sinks that are essential to ...

Additional record of scleractinian corals on Porbandar coast, Gujarat, India

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2014
Out of four major coral reefs of India, Gujarat harbours one in the Gulf of Kachchh (GoK). The total scleractinian (hard coral) diversity in the GoK is 59, well documented by various scientists.
