The impact of stony coral tissue loss disease and amoxicillin treatments on coral gametogenesis
Frontiers in Marine ScienceThe unprecedented mortality of stony corals on Florida’s Coral Reef from stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) was mitigated on some priority sites and corals through the use of a topical amoxicillin paste to halt disease lesion progression.

Cruise Report NOAA Ship McARTHUR II Cruise AR-04-04: Leg 2 (June 1-12, 2004): A pilot survey of deepwater coral/sponge assemblages and their susceptibility to fishing/harvest impacts at the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary (OCNMS) [PDF]
, 2005 Summary: The offshore shelf and canyon habitats of the OCNMS (Fig. 1) are areas of high primary productivity and biodiversity that support extensive groundfish fisheries. Recent acoustic surveys conducted in these waters have indicated the presence of

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 ...

Benthic community structure on coral reefs exposed to intensive recreational snorkeling.
PLoS ONE, 2017 Chronic anthropogenic disturbances on coral reefs in the form of overfishing and pollution can shift benthic community composition away from stony corals and toward macroalgae.

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 BiogeographyBiogeographic 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),

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.For the roof of coral reef limestone caverns, a novel tension‐shear composite failure mechanism was developed. The most critical tensile crack model was identified using a hybrid optimization algorithm, and the stability of the cavern roof was analyzed accordingly.

Amplification of Immune Genes in Ancient Stony Corals for Adapting to Unstable Marine Environments
Ocean-Land-Atmosphere ResearchThe Late Devonian period was known for disturbances such as lower temperatures and abnormal ocean carbon and nitrogen levels, leading to the extinction of approximately 21% of genus-level and 16% of family-level marine organisms.

Drag Reduction, from Bending to Pruning
, 2013 Most plants and benthic organisms have evolved efficient reconfiguration mechanisms to resist flow-induced loads. These mechanisms can be divided into bending, in which plants reduce their sail area through elastic deformation, and pruning, in which the ...

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.
