Metamorphosis of a Scleractinian Coral in Response to Microbial Biofilms [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2004
ABSTRACT Microorganisms have been reported to induce settlement and metamorphosis in a wide range of marine invertebrate species. However, the primary cue reported for metamorphosis of coral larvae is calcareous coralline algae (CCA).

Development of a transcriptomic database for 14 species of scleractinian corals

BMC Genomics, 2019
Background Scleractinian corals are important reef builders, but around the world they are under the threat of global climate change as well as local stressors. Molecular resources are critical for understanding a species’ stress responses and resilience

Deep-sea origin and depth colonization associated with phenotypic innovations in scleractinian corals

Nature Communications, 2023
The deep sea (>200 m) is home to a surprisingly rich biota, which in some cases compares to that found in shallow areas. Scleractinian corals are an example of this – they are key species in both shallow and deep ecosystems.

Water contamination reduces the tolerance of coral larvae to thermal stress [PDF]

, 2010
Coral reefs are highly susceptible to climate change, with elevated sea surface temperatures (SST) posing one of the main threats to coral survival.

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 ...

Geochemical Mechanisms of Biomineralization from Analysis of Deep-Sea and Laboratory Cultured Corals [PDF]

, 2010
The ocean is a major component of global heat transport and represents a large exchangeable reservoir of CO₂. The importance of these effects on climate can be quantified with records of ocean temperature, chemistry and dynamics spanning past climate ...

Innate Immune Responses of a Scleractinian Coral to Vibriosis [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2011
Scleractinian corals are the most basal eumetazoan taxon and provide the biological and physical framework for coral reefs, which are among the most diverse of all ecosystems. Over the past three decades and coincident with climate change, these phototrophic symbiotic organisms have been subject to increasingly frequent and severe diseases, which are ...

Quantifying diversity and growth form distribution of scleractinian corals, in Mangrove Bay, El Qoseir, Egypt [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal
Coral reefs provide habitat for approximately 25% of all extant marine species, including 845 species of scleractinian corals. These rich ecosystems are becoming increasingly degraded in many regions by a range of anthropogenic factors, including ...

Diversity and distribution of symbiodinium associated with seven common coral species in the Chagos Archipelago, Central Indian Ocean [PDF]

, 2012
The Chagos Archipelago designated as a no-take marine protected area in 2010, lying about 500 km south of the Maldives in the Indian Ocean, has a high conservation priority, particularly because of its fast recovery from the ocean-wide massive coral ...

Polyp-Canal Reconstruction Reveals Evolution Toward Complexity in Corals

Research, 2023
Modern scleractinian corals are classified into robust, complex, and basal clades through comparative molecular studies. However, only few morphological or biological criteria can systematically determine the evolutionary trajectories of these major ...
