Baseline coral disease surveys within three marine parks in Sabah, Borneo [PDF]

, 2015
Two of the most significant threats to coral reefs worldwide are bleaching and disease. However, there has been a scarcity of research on coral disease in South-East Asia, despite the high biodiversity and the strong dependence of local communities on ...

Building like a Coral—Parallelized, Multiscale Biofabrication

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 17, 20 March 2026.
Corals build stiff, strong, and inherently circular skeletal materials under resource‐ and energy‐limited conditions—offering blueprints for transformative materials. We synthesize the current understanding of coral biomineralization and reframe coral growth as a multiscale, parallelized biofabrication process.

Spatial Heterogeneity in the Photosynthetic Characteristics of Scleractinian coral Symbiodinium from the Northern South China Sea

Redai dili
Investigations have revealed significant degradation of nearshore coral reef areas in the South China Sea in recent decades; thus, coral reef conservation is in urgent need of more scientific management insights.

Potential Invasive Indo‐Pacific Acropora in a Coral Reef of Venezuela: A Contribution to Their Morphological and Molecular Knowledge

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
We report the first record of a non‐native hermatypic coral in Venezuela, exhibiting biological traits characteristic of invasive species. The coral is a member of the genus Acropora (Scleractinia: Acroporidae), native to the Indo‐Pacific. This non‐native petrous coral occurred in a reef of the Morrocoy National Park, in the southern Caribbean.

Expanding Knowledge of Sea Pen (Octocorallia: Pennatuloidea) Diversity and Distribution Through Integrative Taxonomy: Insights From Hong Kong's Coastal Waters

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Based on a combined molecular and morphological analysis, this study identifies nine sea pen species in Hong Kong's waters, including three newly described species. The findings provide new DNA sequences and clarify phylogenetic relationships, support revisions to Pennatuloidea systematics, and update species distributions in the Northwest Pacific ...

LEDs light spectrum effect on the success of fragmentation and growth of the leather coral Sarcophyton spp.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2014
The increasing demand for soft corals is reflected on the high attention of the scientific community during the last decades, with several studies focus on production techniques and optimization of coral husbandry (Schlacher et al., 2007;Sella and ...

Intrinsic constraints on sympodial growth morphologies of azooxanthellate scleractinian coral Dendrophyllia. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
BACKGROUND: Asexual increase occurs in virtually all colonial organisms. However, little is known about the intrinsic mechanisms that control asexual reproduction and the resultant morphologies of colonies.

An Overview of Aplysinopsins: Synthesis and Biological Activities

Marine Drugs, 2023
Marine products are among the most promising sources of biologically active molecules. Aplysinopsins, tryptophan-derived marine natural products, were isolated from different natural marine sources including sponges, stony corals (hard corals) especially

Complete Mitochondrial Genome of Porites cylindrica From the Xisha Islands: Characterization and Comparative Mitogenomics of the Genus

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
In this study, we sequenced the dominant species, Porites andrewsi, in the Xisha Islands of the South China Sea, assembled its mitochondrial genome, and analyzed the evolution of the mitochondrial genome of Porites species in combination with 12 other mitochondrial genomes from nine other species.
