Skeleton Precedes Polyp: Visualization of Structural Changes During Coral Growth in <i>Montipora capricornis</i>. [PDF]
Using high‐resolution micro‐computed tomography, this study demonstrates that in Montipora capricornis, skeleton–canal network formation precedes polyp budding at colony margins, with a “transit area” (volumes ~1 mm3, skeleton‐to‐void ratio 20%–35%) in tubular canals serving as a pathway for polyp migration to new calices.

Responses to high seawater temperatures in zooxanthellate octocorals. [PDF]
Increases in Sea Surface Temperatures (SSTs) as a result of global warming have caused reef-building scleractinian corals to bleach worldwide, a result of the loss of obligate endosymbiotic zooxanthellae.

Symbiont diversity is not involved in depth acclimation in the Mediterranean sea whip Eunicella singularis [PDF]
In symbiotic cnidarians, acclimation to depth and lower irradiance can involve physiological changes in the photosynthetic dinoflagellate endosymbiont, such as increased chlorophyll content, or qualitative modifications in the symbiont population in ...

Coral reef communities contain a wide variety of mutualistic associations none more important than the relationship between corals and their symbiotic dinoflagellates of the genus Symbiodinium sp., commonly referred to as zooxanthellae.

Red light represses the photophysiology of the scleractinian coral Stylophora pistillata. [PDF]
Light spectrum plays a key role in the biology of symbiotic corals, with blue light resulting in higher coral growth, zooxanthellae density, chlorophyll a content and photosynthesis rates as compared to red light.

Fast growth may impair regeneration capacity in the branching coral Acropora muricata. [PDF]
Regeneration of artificially induced lesions was monitored in nubbins of the branching coral Acropora muricata at two reef-flat sites representing contrasting environments at Réunion Island (21°07'S, 55°32'E). Growth of these injured nubbins was examined

Climate change promotes parasitism in a coral symbiosis. [PDF]
Coastal oceans are increasingly eutrophic, warm and acidic through the addition of anthropogenic nitrogen and carbon, respectively. Among the most sensitive taxa to these changes are scleractinian corals, which engineer the most biodiverse ecosystems on ...

Global Warming and the Spread of the Introduced Jellyfish Cassiopea andromeda: Thermal Niche and Habitat Suitability in the Mediterranean Sea. [PDF]
Written Summary: Climate change is reshaping marine ecosystems, with the Mediterranean Sea among the most vulnerable due to warming and non‐native species such as the upside‐down jellyfish Cassiopea andromeda. We investigated the thermal tolerance and habitat suitability of its polyps, a key stage for reproduction and persistence.
