A Tale of Germs, Storms, and Bombs: Geomorphology and Coral Assemblage Structure at Vieques (Puerto Rico) Compared to St. Croix (U.S. Virgin Islands) [PDF]

, 2008
The former U.S. Navy range at Vieques Island (Puerto Rico, United States) is now the largest national wildlife refuge in the Caribbean. We investigated the geomorphology and benthic assemblage structure to understand the status of the coral reefs.

Saccharopolyspora coralli sp. nov. a novel actinobacterium isolated from the stony coral Porites

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2020
A novel Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, non-motile actinobacterium, designated strain E2AT, was isolated from a coral sample and examined using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain E2ATformed a distinct phyletic lineage in the genusSaccharopolysporaand was closely related toS ...

Resilient Calvarial Bone Marrow Supports Retinal Repair in Type 2 Diabetes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Skull bone (calvarium) marrow in diabetic mice stay structurally intact and keeps making blood cells, unlike the bone marrow of the leg bones. The skull marrow is exposed to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which contains protective molecules called oxysterols.

Different skeletal protein toolkits achieve similar structure and performance in the tropical coral Stylophora pistillata and the temperate Oculina patagonica

Scientific Reports, 2022
Stony corals (order: Scleractinia) differ in growth form and structure. While stony corals have gained the ability to form their aragonite skeleton once in their evolution, the suite of proteins involved in skeletogenesis is different for different coral

DIVERSITY OF STONY CORALS IN BANGGAI WATER

Marine Research in Indonesia, 2015
Banggai waters, located in Central Sulawesi Province, is part of the world’s coral triangle area which is well–known to have the highest diversity on stony corals (Scleractinia). A research on stony corals has been carried out at 9 study sites between June–July 2011, practicing line transect methods and free collection in order to determine the ...

Feline‐Inspired Robot Enabled by Combustion‐Driven Actuators for Agile Motion and High‐Payload Obstacle Traversal

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 ...

Factors that Limit Establishment of Stony Corals [PDF]

Berkeley Scientific Journal, 2019
Author(s): Temby, Michelle C. | Abstract: Corals occupy less than 1% of the surface area of world oceans but provide a home for 25% of all marine fish species. This study analyzed individual coral heads, specifically the genus Pocillopora (tentative identification: Pocillopora elegans), and their establishments in Cuajiniquil using 3 locations in the ...

Indonesian inquiry: A narrative of biocultural teaching on Sulawesi Utara

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Using phenomenology, narrative inquiry and autoethnographic approaches, this study analyses a program of faculty development conducted alongside the delivery of an international field school. Through this study, we explore the value and benefits of inter‐cultural field programming and how these might serve to complement or to redress ...

Global biogeography of zoantharians indicates a weak genetic differentiation between the Atlantic and Indo-Pacific oceans, and distinct communities in tropical and temperate provinces [PDF]

Frontiers of Biogeography
Biogeographic patterns for marine fishes and scleractinian stony corals are well-established, but it is still unclear whether these patterns apply to the understudied marine invertebrates. Here we investigate the distribution of zoantharians (=zoanthids),
