The Condition and Distribution of Stony Corals (Scleractinia Corals) in Bangka Water [PDF]
Jurnal Ilmu dan Teknologi Kelautan Tropis, 2013 Bangka water is well known as the best tin producer in which there are many off-shore tin-mining activities conducted by both local people and tin companies. Such condition apparently brings negative impacts to marine life. Stony corals are considered as

Eicosanoid Diversity of Stony Corals. [PDF]
Mar Drugs, 2018 Oxylipins are well-established lipid mediators in plants and animals. In mammals, arachidonic acid (AA)-derived eicosanoids control inflammation, fever, blood coagulation, pain perception and labor, and, accordingly, are used as drugs, while lipoxygenases (LOX), as well as cyclooxygenases (COX) serve as therapeutic targets for drug development. In soft

Farmerfish gardens help buffer stony corals against marine heat waves. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2023 With marine heat waves increasing in intensity and frequency due to climate change, it is important to understand how thermal disturbances will alter coral reef ecosystems since stony corals are highly susceptible to mortality from thermally-induced, mass bleaching events.

Tracking morphological development in stony corals
Abstract The shape of reef-building corals largely determines how they interact with their environment and the ecosystem services they provide. However, morphology is not fixed. As corals grow and develop from singular polyps to mature adult colonies, they experience pronounced changes in their morphology.

Bidirectional sex change in mushroom stony corals [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2008 Sex change occurs when an individual changes from one functional sex to another. The direction of sex change occurs mainly from male to female (protandry) or vice versa (protogyny), but sometimes may be bidirectional (repetitive). Here, for the first time in stony corals, we report on a protandrous sex change exhibited by two mushroom corals,Fungia ...

Microbiomes of stony and soft deep-sea corals share rare core bacteria
Microbiome, 2019 Background Numerous studies have shown that bacteria form stable associations with host corals and have focused on identifying conserved “core microbiomes” of bacterial associates inferred to be serving key roles in the coral holobiont.

Status of coral reefs of Little Cayman, Grand Cayman and Cayman Brac, British West Indies in 1999 and 2000. (Part 1: Stony corals and algae) [PDF]
, 2003 A benthic assessment of the isolated Cayman Islands was completed at 42 sites. Major changes in the reef community structure were documented by comparison with earlier studies. Acropora palmata and A.

Coral affected by stony coral tissue loss disease can produce viable offspring
PeerJ, 2023 Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) has caused high mortality of at least 25 coral species across the Caribbean, with Pseudodiploria strigosa being the second most affected species in the Mexican Caribbean.

Characterization of the Microbiome of Corals with Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease along Florida’s Coral Reef [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2021 Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) is an emergent and often lethal coral disease that was first reported near Miami, FL (USA) in 2014. Our objective was to determine if coral colonies showing signs of SCTLD possess a specific microbial signature across five susceptible species sampled in Florida’s Coral Reef.
