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.

Evaluation of stony coral indicators for coral reef management

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2008
Colonies 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, 2017
Because 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

Nature
Most 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, 1990
Abstract 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.

Ultrastructural observation of oocytes in six types of stony corals

Tissue and Cell, 2016
In 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.
