Coral growth persistence amidst bleaching events
Limnology and Oceanography Letters, 2023 As mass bleaching events decimate stony coral populations, production of calcium carbonate is diminished on reefs, dampening their capacity to keep pace with rising sea levels.

The Coral Holobiont: A Brief Overview of Corals and Their Microbiome
EDISCaribbean and tropical western Atlantic reefs have declined drastically since the 1970s. In some locales like the Florida Keys, the decline of branching corals approached 98%. These declines are widely attributed to recurring stressors such as high ocean

Differences in carbonate chemistry up-regulation of long-lived reef-building corals
Scientific Reports, 2023 With climate projections questioning the future survival of stony corals and their dominance as tropical reef builders, it is critical to understand the adaptive capacity of corals to ongoing climate change.

Deep-Sea Corals on Seamounts [PDF]
Oceanography, 2010 Deep-sea corals are colonial suspension-feeding cnidarians commonly associated with seamounts around the world. They are important components of seamount ecology, providing food and refuge for numerous associated species of fish, crabs, shrimp, and sea ...

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.

High salinity conveys thermotolerance in the coral model Aiptasia
Biology Open, 2017 The endosymbiosis between dinoflagellate algae of the genus Symbiodinium and stony corals provides the foundation of coral reef ecosystems. Coral bleaching, the expulsion of endosymbionts from the coral host tissue as a consequence of heat or light ...

Effectiveness of topical antibiotics in treating corals affected by Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Since 2014, Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD) has led to mass mortality of the majority of hard coral species on the Florida Reef Tract. Following the successful treatment of SCTLD lesions on laboratory corals using water dosed with antibiotics ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Inspired by nature's competitive maneuvers, this study introduces a combustion‐driven soft actuator that powers a multi‐modal “Jump‐and‐Fly Catbot” (JFC). With millisecond response, high‐force output (over 70 times its weight) and precise control (error within 5%), the robot can jump, fly, hover, and escape from challenging environments, achieving ...

Culturing reef-building corals on a laboratory dish: a simple experimental platform for stony corals
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Development and maintenance of coral reef ecosystems rely on daily micro-biological activities of healthy corals. Although a comprehensive understanding of coral biological properties, as well as factors negatively affecting coral growth, are essential ...
