Borneo coral reefs subject to high sediment loads show evidence of resilience to various environmental stressors [PDF]

, 2019
For reefs in South East Asia the synergistic effects of rapid land development, insufficient environmental policies and a lack of enforcement has led to poor water quality and compromised coral health from increased sediment and pollution.

A Revised Estimate of Calcium Carbonate Dissolution in Coastal and Shelf Sediments Suggests Large Shelf Exports in the Marine CaCO3 Cycle

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 40, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) dissolution plays a key role in the marine carbon and alkalinity cycles and the regulation of atmospheric CO2 levels across geological time scales. Until now, most attention has focused on dissolution in the deep sea, while dissolution in coastal and shelf environments remains poorly constrained.

Dietary resilience of coral reef fishes to habitat degradation

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 3, Page 397-417, March 2026.
Metabarcoding of gut contents shows that two common benthic‐feeding reef fishes with different feeding stratgies—a butterflyfish (Chaetodon capistratus) and a hamlet (Hypoplectrus puella)—shift diets on degraded reefs. These shifts mirror contrasting patterns in body condition: butterflyfish showed strong individual variation, whereas condition was ...

Peroxynitrite Generation and Increased Heterotrophic Capacity Are Linked to the Disruption of the Coral–Dinoflagellate Symbiosis in a Scleractinian and Hydrocoral Species

Microorganisms, 2019
Ocean warming is one of the greatest global threats to coral reef ecosystems; it leads to the disruption of the coral–dinoflagellate symbiosis (bleaching) and to nutrient starvation, because corals mostly rely on autotrophy (i.e., the supply of ...

Oxygen and heterotrophy affect calcification of the scleractinian coral Galaxea fascicularis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Heterotrophy is known to stimulate calcification of scleractinian corals, possibly through enhanced organic matrix synthesis and photosynthesis, and increased supply of metabolic DIC.

Genetic Diversity of Sexually Propagated Corals Is Maintained From the Aquarium to the Reef

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 5, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Amidst global reef declines, large‐scale coral aquaculture is being developed to support reef intervention. Genetic diversity underpins population resilience and therefore it is critical that aquaculture methods maintain diversity. However, it remains unclear how genetic diversity of coral progeny is shaped by (1) parental genetic composition,

Sediment‐stressed reefs over the past 420 Myr

The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
In order to fully elucidate the relationship between siliciclastic sedimentation and reef development, there needs to be a significant step change in how we record ancient and recent reefs. Only through the collection of constrained quantitative data, we can progress beyond the largely conjectural associations postulated for many ancient reefal systems.

Corals not serpulids: mineralized colonial fossils in the Lower Jurassic marginal facies of South Wales [PDF]

, 2002
Poorly preserved colonial corals occur near the base of the Lower Jurassic marginal facies at Southerndown, South Wales. Previously they have been interpreted as serpulid colonies, despite a dissimilarity to any serpulids known from elsewhere in the Lias

The Ecological Mechanism of Coral–Algal Phase Shifts: A Case Study of Wenchang in Hainan Province

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study selected the coral reef areas in the coastal waters of Wenchang, Hainan, China, which were significantly affected by human activities. Through four consecutive years of field investigations, the key driving factors and potential mechanisms of ecological phase shifts between corals and macroalgae were identified, thus providing a scientific ...
