A Problem Solving Environment for Modelling Stony Coral Morphogenesis [PDF]
Apart from experimental and theoretical approaches, computer simulation is an important tool in testing hypotheses about stony coral growth. However, the construction and use of such simulation tools needs extensive computational skills and knowledge that is not available to most research biologists. Problem solving environments (PSEs) aim to provide a

Potential stock of stony corals in Indonesia
Abstract Indonesia is part of the coral triangle region which is known as the world’s highest marine biodiversity, including stony corals. This situation used to benefit local people by trading ornamental corals. The aims of this study are to investigate the potential stock of ornamental corals as well as the reef conditions.

Determination of prey capture rates in the stony coral Galaxea fascicularis: a critical reconsideration of the clearance rate concept [PDF]
In order to determine optimal feeding regimes for captive corals, prey capture by the scleractinian coral Galaxea fascicularis was determined by measuring clearance of prey items from the surrounding water. Colonies of G.

Digital image processing to detect subtle motion in stony coral [PDF]
AbstractCoral reef ecosystems support significant biological activities and harbor huge diversity, but they are facing a severe crisis driven by anthropogenic activities and climate change. An important behavioral trait of the coral holobiont is coral motion, which may play an essential role in feeding, competition, reproduction, and thus survival and ...

Effects of Salinity on Reproduction and Survival of the Calanoid Copepod Pseudodiaptomus Pelagicus [PDF]
Four experiments were conducted on the calanoid copepod, Pseudodiaptomus pelagicus, to determine the effects of salinity on survival, development time, reproductive output, and population growth in order to define the optimal salinity for culture.
