Reciprocal-transplantation between shallow and mesophotic stony corals
Marine Environmental Research, 2020 Most studies to date on the various life-history aspects of scleractinian corals (e.g. reproduction, connectivity, and physiology) have focused on their innate habitats. However, comprehensive data on the ability of both shallow and mesophotic corals to contend in the coming decades with the different environmental conditions they may encounter due to ...

Evaluation of stony coral indicators for coral reef management
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2008Colonies of reef-building stony corals at 57 stations around St. Croix, US Virgin Islands were characterized by species, size and percentage of living tissue. Taxonomic, biological and physical indicators of coral condition were derived from these measurements and assessed for their response to gradients of human disturbance-a requirement for ...

Mitochondrial and Nuclear Genes Suggest that Stony Corals Are Monophyletic but Most Families of Stony Corals Are Not (Order Scleractinia, Class Anthozoa, Phylum Cnidaria) [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 Modern hard corals (Class Hexacorallia; Order Scleractinia) are widely studied because of their fundamental role in reef building and their superb fossil record extending back to the Triassic. Nevertheless, interpretations of their evolutionary relationships have been in flux for over a decade.

The digestive system of the stony coral Stylophora pistillata
Cell and Tissue Research, 2017Because hermatypic species use symbiotic algal photosynthesis, most of the literature in this field focuses on this autotrophic mode and very little research has studied the morphology of the coral's digestive system or the digestion process of particulate food.

The evolution of facultative symbiosis in stony corals
NatureMost stony corals are obligate symbionts that are dependent on nutrients provided by the photosynthetic activity of dinoflagellates residing within specialized cells1. Disruption of this symbiotic consortium leads to coral bleaching and, ultimately, mortality2.

Bioactive Polyacetylenes from Stony Corals
Chemistry Letters, 1990Abstract Four new polyacetylenes have been isolated from three species of hermatypic corals, Montipora sp, M. mollis, and Pectinia lactuca. These compounds, representing the first such metabolites of coelenterates, exhibited ichthyotoxicity and inhibited the growth of some bacteria and fungi.

Bacteria associated with the rapid tissue necrosis of stony corals
Environmental Microbiology, 2007Summary The rapid tissue necrosis (RTN) is a common disease of both wild and captive stony corals, which causes a fast tissue degradation ( peeling ) and death of the colony.

Ultrastructural observation of oocytes in six types of stony corals
Tissue and Cell, 2016In this study, the ultrastructure of the oocytes of 6 types of scleractinian corals was observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Moreover, histological and ultrastructural analyses were performed to improve our understanding of the organelles involved in coral oocyte formation.
