High‐resolution coral oxygen and carbon isotope records reveal temperature and autotrophy dynamics in a Mediterranean climate change hotspot

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 11, Page 3261-3276, November 2025.
Abstract The Mediterranean Sea is warming at a rate exceeding the global average. Long‐term, high‐resolution data are essential for contextualizing changes within broader temporal scales, and coral skeletons provide valuable environmental archives, especially in data‐sparse regions or as supplements to existing records.

Fluorescent protein-mediated colour polymorphism in reef corals: multicopy genes extend the adaptation/acclimatization potential to variable light environments

, 2015
The genomic framework that enables corals to adjust to unfavourable conditions is crucial for coral reef survival in a rapidly changing climate. We have explored the striking intraspecific variability in the expression of coral pigments from the green ...

Molecular genetic identification of symbiotic dinoflagellates (zooxanthellae)

Marine Ecology Progress Series, 1991
Zooxanthellae are phototrophic dinoflagellates that occur as endosymbionts in many marine invertebrates. Because traditional biological methods have not provided useful schemes for zooxanthella identification and classification, the natural history of zooxanthella symbioses is poorly known.

Marine Heatwaves Transform Coral Symbioses With Enduring Effects

Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 11, November 2025.
Marine heatwaves are disrupting coral–algal symbioses, yet their long‐term effects remain poorly understood. Using a decade‐long survey (2013–2023), we document a lasting transformation of symbiont assemblages, evidence of a local symbiont extinction, and indications that local human disturbance may impede symbiont recovery following a major marine ...

Ancient Hybridisation Fuelled Diversification in Acropora Corals

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 22, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Introgression is the infiltration or flow of genes from one species to another through hybridisation followed by backcrossing. This may lead to incorrect phylogenetic reconstruction or divergence‐time estimation. Acropora is a dominant genus of reef‐building corals; however, whether this group has an introgression history before their ...

Advances in coral reef restoration in the Mexican Pacific: active interventions and scaling approaches

Restoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 8, November 2025.
Abstract Introduction Coral reefs face escalating threats from the synergic effects of natural and anthropogenic stressors, challenging traditional conservation strategies and prompting the emergence of direct intervention approaches for coral reef restoration.

The Distribution, Diversity, and Indicator Species of Coral Communities Under the Influence of Environmental Changes in the Subtropical Peninsula of Southern China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
The dominant coral species in Dapeng Peninsula changed from branching types to clumping types. Fishing and tourism had significant negative impacts on coral reef development. Water quality and substrate types determined the distribution and structure of coral communities.

Light induces changes in activities of Na+/K+(NH4+)-ATPase, H+/K+(NH4+)-ATPase and glutamine synthetase in tissues involved directly or indirectly in light-enhanced calcification in the giant clam Tridacna squamosa

Frontiers in Physiology, 2015
The objective of this study was to determine the effects of 12 h of exposure to light, as compared with 12 h of exposure to darkness (control), on enzymatic activities of transporters involved in the transport of NH4+ or H+, and activities of enzymes ...

Light enhanced calcification in Stylophora pistillata: effects of glucose, glycerol and oxygen [PDF]

, 2014
Zooxanthellate corals have long been known to calcify faster in the light than in the dark, however the mechanism underlying this process has been uncertain.

Global Warming and the Spread of the Introduced Jellyfish Cassiopea andromeda: Thermal Niche and Habitat Suitability in the Mediterranean Sea

Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 10, October 2025.
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.
