Dining on corals: stable isotope evidence for close trophic connection between gall crabs (Cryptochiridae) and their stony coral hosts
The exact nature of the relationship between symbiont fauna and their hosts is often unclear, but knowing more about these intricate ecological...

A review of current knowledge on reproductive and larval processes of deep-sea corals
The presence of corals living in deep waters around the globe has been documented in various publications since the late 1800s, when the first...

Palau’s warmest reefs harbor thermally tolerant corals that thrive across different habitats
Ocean warming is killing corals, but heat-tolerant populations exist; if protected, they could replenish affected reefs naturally or through...

The microbiomes of two Singaporean corals show site-specific differentiation and variability that correlates with the seasonal monsoons
Corals host abundant microbial communities, or microbiomes, that play essential roles in the function of the coral holobiont. We examined the mucus...

Demographic recovery of corals at a wave-exposed reef following catastrophic disturbance
Rapid recovery of coral cover following acute disturbance has been documented on many reefs. Yet measuring coverage alone can mask shifts in...
-
Mushroom to manoeuvre? Using photogrammetry to track the movement and survival of free-living corals
Mushroom corals can play an important role in tropical reef ecosystems by providing habitat and performing important ecological functions. Unlike...

Great Nicobar Biosphere Reserve: A Biological Treasure Trove for Scleractinian Corals
The Great Nicobar Island, the southernmost landmass of Andaman and Nicobar Islands and India as well, endowed with two National Parks and one...

Parasites or predators? Gastropod ectoparasites and their scleractinian host corals at Koh Tao, Gulf of Thailand, with the description of a new species
Recent years have seen a rapid increase in the study of coral-associated gastropods. In particular, the description of several new species in...

Succession of Ocean Acidification and its Effects on Reef-Building Corals
Since 2008, we have been conducting a series of coral-rearing experiments, mainly at the Sesoko Station of the Tropical Biosphere Research Center at...

Steroid markers for species-specific Symbiodiniaceae: insights from molecular and δ13C measurements on four scleractinian corals
Endosymbiotic dinoflagellates in the family Symbiodiniaceae are physiologically and ecologically important for reef-building corals. Certain...

Depth distribution and depth adaptation of microbiomes in juvenile and adult scleractinian corals (Pocillopora verrucosa) in the central South China Sea
Environmental conditions at different water depths on tropical atolls are substantially different, but few studies have investigated the depth...

The indirect effects of ocean acidification on corals and coral communities
Ocean acidification (OA) is a major threat to marine calcifying organisms. This manuscript gives an overview of the physiological effects of...

Microscale flow dynamics and particle capture in scleractinian corals: I. Role of the tentacles
The size, shape, and arrangement of tentacles in scleractinian coral polyps are likely to affect particle capture yet have not been investigated in a...

Morphological convergence from independent crab lineages contributes to the flourishing symbiotic diversity between crabs and branching corals
Symbiosis is one of the most important evolutionary processes sha** biodiversity. Phylogenetic and morphological analyses can enhance our...

Marine Heatwave Caused Differentiated Dysbiosis in Photosymbiont Assemblages of Corals and Hydrocorals During El Niño 2015/2016
Reef corals have been threatened by climate change, with more frequent and intense bleaching events leading to extensive coral mortality and loss of...
-
Effects of Anthropogenic Chemicals on Hermatypic Corals with Special Reference to Gene Expression
Many studies have reported the adverse effects of various anthropogenic activities, including climate change and ocean acidification, on coral reefs....

Into the Intimacy of Corals, Builders of the Sea
Belonging to the very diverse cnidarian phylum, reef-building and non-reef-building scleractinian corals have an astonishing biology to respond to...

Newly deceased Caribbean reef-building corals experience rapid carbonate loss and colonization by endolithic organisms
Coral mortality triggers the loss of carbonates fixed within coral skeletons, compromising the reef matrix. Here, we estimate rates of carbonate loss...

Distribution and ecology of shallow-water black corals across a depth gradient on Galápagos rocky reefs
Antipathes galapagensis is a prevalent habitat-forming black coral in subtidal ecosystems of the Galápagos Marine Reserve (GMR). Despite their...
