Symbiodinium photosynthesis in Caribbean octocorals. [PDF]
PLoS 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.

Frontiers 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

Advancing Symbiodiniaceae Functional Ecology Through a Trait‐Based Framework
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.Symbiodiniaceae dinoflagellates are central to coral reef functioning, supporting primary production, nutrient cycling, calcification, and influencing coral thermal tolerance through intracellular symbiosis. Despite their ecological importance, these symbionts have not yet been incorporated into a formal functional ecology framework due to challenges ...

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

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract Understanding spatial patterns and drivers of corallivory is essential for assessing reef resilience and identifying recovery pathways. Fish corallivory patterns arise from the complex direct and indirect effects of key factors, including food availability (cover of preferred corals), the nature of the corallivore assemblage (richness and ...

Biosynthesis of ‘essential’ amino acids by scleractinian corals [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1997 Animals rely on their diet for amino acids that they are incapable either of synthesizing or of synthesizing in sufficient quantities to meet metabolic needs. These are the so-called ‘essential amino acids’. This set of amino acids is similar among the vertebrates and many of the invertebrates.

Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract Corals archive past ocean‐climate variability in their annual skeletal density bands, but the reliability of these records is dependent on precise and reproducible measurements. We assessed how variability among observers and cores affects coral growth measurements and their relationship with climate indices.
