Coral diversity in the Kepala Madan District Reefs, South Buru Regency, Maluku [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences
The abundance of coral genera is crucial for the coral reefs and determines biodiversity. The Kepala Madan district, located in the southern part of Buru Island, is isolated and far from human activities due to limited transportation access and a ...

Functional gene-guided discovery of type II polyketides from culturable actinomycetes associated with soft coral Scleronephthya sp. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Compared with the actinomycetes in stone corals, the phylogenetic diversity of soft coral-associated culturable actinomycetes is essentially unexplored. Meanwhile, the knowledge of the natural products from coral-associated actinomycetes is very limited.

Herbivory in the soft coral Sinularia flexibilis (Alcyoniidae)

Scientific Reports, 2016
AbstractOur work provides strong support for the hypothesis that Sinularia flexibilis ingests diatoms such as Thalassiosira pseudonana. We assessed algal ingestion by S. flexibilis through estimates of algal removal, histological analyses, scanning electron microscopy observations and gene expression determination (18S and silicon transporter 1) by ...

Geographical variations in bacterial communities associated with soft coral Scleronephthya gracillimum.

PLoS ONE, 2017
Environmental impacts can alter relationships between a coral and its symbiotic microbial community. Furthermore, changes in the microbial community associated with increased seawater temperatures can cause opportunistic infections, coral disease and ...

Non-invasive estimation of coral polyp volume and surface area using optical coherence tomography

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
The surface area (SA) and three-dimensional (3D) morphology of reef-building corals are central to their physiology. A challenge for the estimation of coral SA has been to meet the required spatial resolution as well as the capability to preserve the ...

Multimodal Locomotion in Insect‐Inspired Microrobots: A Review of Strategies for Aerial, Surface, Aquatic, and Interfacial Motion

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.
