Sesquiterpenoids from the Formosan Soft Coral Sinularia leptoclados
Chemical investigation of the soft coral Sinularia leptoclados has afforded three new sesquiterpenoids, leptocladols A (1), B (2), and 1-epi-chabrolidione A (3). The relative structures of 1-3 were determined on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analysis.

Dietary resilience of coral reef fishes to habitat degradation
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 ...

Mutualism profoundly affects the morphology and ecological evolution of both hosts and symbionts involved. Heterocyathus is a solitary scleractinian coral that lives on soft substrata, and sipunculan worms live symbiotically in the tube-like cavities ...

Quantifying the δ15N trophic offset in a cold-water scleractinian coral (CWC): implications for the CWC diet and coral δ15N as a marine N cycle proxy [PDF]
The nitrogen (N) isotope composition (δ15N) of cold-water corals is a promising proxy for reconstructing past ocean N cycling, as a strong correlation was found between the δ15N of the organic nitrogen preserved in coral skeletons and the δ15N of ...

Benthic invertebrates that form habitat on deep banks off southern California, with special reference to deep sea coral [PDF]
There is increasing interest in the potential impacts that fishing activities have on megafaunal benthic invertebrates occurring in continental shelf and slope ecosystems.

Abstract The savage was a familiar as well as deeply problematic figure in late‐Victorian literary and scientific imaginaries. Savages provided an unstable but capacious and flexible signifier to explore human development and human difference, most often in ways that followed a disturbing racial logic.

Abstract Amid increasing anthropogenic pressures on ecosystems, standardised biodiversity monitoring is critical for assessing biodiversity change. Marine hard‐bottom habitats, though ubiquitous and biodiverse, present challenges for biodiversity monitoring due to their complex structure and limited accessibility. Autonomous reef monitoring structures (

Quorum sensing in Australian soft corals
Quorum Sensing (QS) has emerged as a potential pathway of interaction between eukaryotic host organisms and their associated microbial communities. QS is the term that has been applied to describe the indirect regulation of gene expression in many micro-organisms.
