Skeletal P/Ca tracks upwelling in Gulf of Panama coral: Evidence for a new seawater phosphate proxy [PDF]

, 2008
The supply of limiting nutrients to the low latitude ocean is controlled by physical processes linked to climate variations, but methods for reconstructing past nutrient concentrations in the surface ocean are few and indirect.

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

Origins of Improved Hardness in Bioinspired Aragonite Precipitated Under Simulated Biologic Conditions

Geobiology, Volume 24, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Biogenic aragonite is a composite of mineral and biomolecules that exhibits superior material properties compared to its inorganic analog. This superiority underpins the success of the bioaragonite structures which support coral reefs and shell fisheries, yet the mechanisms improving the physical resilience of bioaragonite are not well ...

Trophic dynamics of scleractinian corals: A stable isotope evidence [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2015
Reef-building corals form symbioses with dinoflagellates from the diverse genus Symbiodinium. This symbiotic association has developed adaptations to acquire and share nutrients, which are essential for its survival and growth in nutrient-poor tropical waters.

Mucus carbohydrate composition correlates with scleractinian coral phylogeny

Scientific Reports
The mucus surface layer serves vital functions for scleractinian corals and consists mainly of carbohydrates. Its carbohydrate composition has been suggested to be influenced by environmental conditions (e.g., temperature, nutrients) and microbial ...

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 ...

The jaws in the jaws: Morphofunctional analysis of the pharyngeal plates of Labrus viridis Linnaeus, 1758 (Teleostei, Labridae)

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 109, Issue 3, Page 1528-1539, September 2026.
Abstract Functional morphology highlights the adaptive flexibility of fish feeding strategies across environmental gradients and seasonal variations, providing key insights for the management and conservation of ichthyofaunal communities and their habitats.

Patterns of Genetic Structuring in the Coral Pocillopora Damicornis on Reefs in East Africa. [PDF]

, 2009
Studies of population genetic structures provide an indication of direction and magnitude of larval transport and hence are an important component in the assessment of the ability of reefs to recover from severe disturbance.

Testing coir (coconut) fiber as a novel, biodegradable material for coral reef restoration: coir interactions with larval and juvenile corals

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 7, September 2026.
Abstract Introduction Coral populations have declined in recent decades, largely due to anthropogenic climate change. In response, coral restoration projects are being implemented, and rubble stabilization is one such approach. Rubble beds form when dead coral fragments accumulate on the seafloor and can be mobilized by water flow.
