Coral Disease and Health Workshop: Coral Histopathology II [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The health and continued existence of coral reef ecosystems are threatened by an increasing array of environmental and anthropogenic impacts. Coral disease is one of the prominent causes of increased mortality among reefs globally, particularly in the ...

Symbiodinium photosynthesis in Caribbean octocorals. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Symbioses with the dinoflagellate Symbiodinium form the foundation of tropical coral reef communities. Symbiodinium photosynthesis fuels the growth of an array of marine invertebrates, including cnidarians such as scleractinian corals and octocorals (e.g.

Deep-sea coral distribution on seamounts, oceanic islands, and continental slopes in the Northeast Atlantic [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
A database of deep-water (\u3e 200 m) antipatharians, scleractinians, and gorgonians has been assembled for the NE Atlantic to determine what their distribution and diversity was before coral habitats became heavily impacted by bottom fishing gear ...

Species‐Specific Vulnerability of Northern Red Sea Mesophotic Corals to Accelerated Warming

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.
Mesophotic reefs are often considered climate refuges, yet experimental thermal‐stress reveals species‐dependent vulnerability. Skeletal optics, energy reserves, and light environment determine bleaching severity. A depth‐generalist coral resisted stress while the mesophotic specialist bleached severely.

Chemical characterization of deep-sea corals from the continental slope of Santos Basin (southeastern Brazilian upper margin)

open access: yesOcean and Coastal Research, 2022
Carbonate mounds and pockmarks are geologically and ecologically important features distributed worldwide in the world’s oceans. In the present study, we present a chemical characterization of deep-sea scleractinian coral skeletons collected in these ...

Fossil Corals With Various Degrees of Preservation Can Retain Information About Biomineralization-Related Organic Material

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Scleractinian corals typically form a robust calcium carbonate skeleton beneath their living tissue. This skeleton, through its trace element composition and isotope ratios, may record environmental conditions of water surrounding the coral animal. While

Pre-construction coral survey of the M/V Wellwood Grounding Site: April 23-24, 2002 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
This report documents abundance and cover for selected elements of the benthic coral reef assemblage at the site of the 1984 grounding of the M/V Wellwood on Molasses Reef, Florida Keys.

Rare coral under the genomic microscope: timing and relationships among Hawaiian Montipora [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Background Evolutionary patterns of scleractinian (stony) corals are difficult to infer given the existence of few diagnostic characters and pervasive phenotypic plasticity.

Multiple Twinning in Nacre and Aragonite

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 20, 9 March 2026.
Electron backscatter diffraction map of a cluster of geologic aragonite, exhibiting single, double, and triple twins. The whole cluster is approximately 2 cm wide. Colors indicate crystal orientations, so that pixels where the a‐, b‐, and c‐axis is perpendicular to the image plane are green, red, and blue, respectively.

Lipid content and composition of oocytes from five coral species: potential implications for future cryopreservation efforts. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Given the previously documented importance of lipid concentration and composition in the successful cryopreservation of gorgonian corals, these parameters were assessed in oocytes of five species of scleractinian coral; Platygyra daedalea, Echinopora ...
