Shallow-water hard corals (Hexacorallia: Scleractinia) from Bangka Belitung Islands Waters, Indonesia

open access: yesAceh Journal of Animal Science, 2019
Bangka Belitung Islands (Sumatra, Indonesia) has various coastal resources, e.g., coral reefs, seagrass beds, mangrove forests. However, the coral community has been threatened by anthropogenic activities, i.e., tin mining and illegal tin mining ...

Impacts of stratospheric aerosol geoengineering strategy on Caribbean coral reefs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Purpose: Currently, negotiation on global carbon emissions reduction is very difficult due to lack of international willingness. In response, geoengineering (climate engineering) strategy is proposed to artificially cool the planet.

Grounds, Beds, and Reefs of the Endangered Coral Cladocora caespitosa With Description of the Tremiti Reef

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study provides an overview of the distribution of the three ecosystem types formed by Cladocora caespitosa and describes newly discovered ones at Tremiti Islands (Adriatic Sea, Italy). The spatial distribution, biometry, size structure, and conservation status of the Cladocora formations have been investigated and compared at the Mediterranean ...

The reproductive season of scleractinian corals in Socotra, Yemen [v1; ref status: indexed, http://f1000r.es/36f]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2014
Determining when corals reproduce has clear management and economic implications. Here we document the reproductive condition of corals in the genus Acropora on the island of Socotra in Yemen during February 2014.

Cryptic Species: A Mismatch between Genetics and Morphology in Millepora [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Millepore morphology is highly variable and shows signs of phenotypic plasticity. Two species of Millepora are present around the islands of the Bahamas: one exhibiting a strong, blade-like structure, Millepora complanata, and the other having a delicate

Effects of the Allelopathic Macroalga Galaxaura divaricata on the Foraging Behaviors of Reef Fishes Across Herbivorous and Nonherbivorous Feeding Guilds

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Herbivorous fishes reduce their feeding with allelopathic macroalga: Galaxaura, while nonherbivorous fishes didn't change their feeding with Galaxaura. Feeding reduction with Galaxaura differed across fish species and may vary by morphology or chemical resistance of different fish species.

Survival, rarity, and extinction in tropical stony corals

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Many reef‐building tropical corals are becoming rare. We considered the meaning of rarity in corals and highlighted taxa that have reached low abundances in the last few decades. The difficulties of quantifying rarity in the marine environment arise from the sheer scale and 3‐dimensional nature of the biome and the inherent challenges therein ...

Rapid Evolution in a Coral Population Following a Mass Mortality Event

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Globally, corals face an increased frequency of mass mortality events (MMEs) as populations experience repeated marine heatwaves which disrupt their obligate algal symbiosis. Despite greater occurrences of MMEs, the relative roles of the environment, host, and symbiont genetic variation in survival, subsequent recovery, and carry‐over effects ...

Association between the squat lobster Gastroptychus formosus and cold-water corals in the North Atlantic [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Although there are no previous descriptions of the habits of chirostylids in the North Atlantic, it is likely that species in the genera Uroptychus, Eumunida and Gastroptychus have close ecological ties with deep-sea corals since they have all been ...
