The Giant Barrel Sponge Xestospongia testudinaria Shelters a Number of Indo-Pacific Reef-Building Corals

Diversity
It is known that the giant barrel sponge (GBS) Xestospongia spp. may provide shelter or a micro-environment for multi-species coral colonies both in the Indo-Pacific and Atlantic regions.

Rare coral under the genomic microscope: timing and relationships among Hawaiian Montipora [PDF]

, 2019
Background Evolutionary patterns of scleractinian (stony) corals are difficult to infer given the existence of few diagnostic characters and pervasive phenotypic plasticity.

Depth‐structured sponge assemblages offer limited evidence for mesophotic refuge potential under the deep reef refuge hypothesis

Ecography, EarlyView.
Temperate mesophotic ecosystems (TMEs) have the potential to act as climate refugia for shallower benthic species impacted by environmental change. However, the extent to which mesophotic ecosystems might provide an ecological refuge, particularly for key functional groups like sponges, remains poorly known in temperate systems.

Toward the generation of pure coral genomes with experimental and bioinformatic improvements

The Innovation
Stony corals, the primary architects of coral reef ecosystems, are largely underrepresented in omics studies despite their importance. The presence of endosymbiotic Symbiodiniaceae algae complicates the extraction of pure coral DNA, posing a challenge ...

The physiological response of the deep-sea coral Solenosmilia variabilis to ocean acidification [PDF]

PeerJ, 2018
Several forms of calcifying scleractinian corals provide important habitat complexity in the deep-sea and are consistently associated with a high biodiversity of fish and other invertebrates.

Widespread Occurrence of a Rarely Known Association between the Hydrocorals Stylaster roseus and Millepora alcicornis at Bonaire, Southern Caribbean

Diversity, 2020
Among symbiotic associations, cases of pseudo-auto-epizoism, in which a species uses a resembling but not directly related species as substrate, are poorly documented in coral reef ecosystems.

Experimental antibiotic treatment identifies potential pathogens of white band disease in the endangered Caribbean coral Acropora cervicornis [PDF]

, 2014
Coral diseases have been increasingly reported over the past few decades and are a major contributor to coral decline worldwide. The Caribbean, in particular, has been noted as a hotspot for coral disease, and the aptly named white syndromes have caused ...
