Cold-Water Corals of the World: Gulf of Mexico
The Gulf of Mexico is a semi-enclosed sea that borders the USA and Mexico and covers approximately 1.5 million square kilometers. The northern Gulf...

Reproductive and physiological plasticity of scleractinian corals in response to changes in environmental conditions
Scleractinian corals are vulnerable to natural and anthropogenic disturbances and a significant loss of coral cover has been recorded over the last...

Effects of light intensity and spectral composition on the growth and physiological adaptation of Acroporid corals
Light affects physiological aspects of coral growth. However, it is unclear how light conditions (photoperiod, intensity, and spectrum) influence...

Fewer obligate coral-dependent fishes associated with corals covered by coral-killing sponge Terpios hoshinota
While outbreaks of the coral-killing sponge Terpios hoshinota are now being increasingly reported across the Western Pacific and Indian Oceans, no...

Fertilisation kinetics among common Indo-Pacific broadcast spawning corals with distinct and shared functional traits
Indo-Pacific corals predominantly reproduce using synchronous mass spawning events to maximise fertilisation. However, as disturbances continue to...

Succession and Emergence of Corals in High-Latitude (Temperate) Areas of Eastern Asia into the Future
High-latitude areas have been hypothesized as potential refugia in the future for those corals which can range-shift across the latitudes (from...
-
Long-term exposure to an extreme environment induces species-specific responses in corals’ photosynthesis and respiration rates
Extreme reef environments have become useful natural laboratories to investigate physiological specificities of species chronically exposed to...

The microbiome of the endosymbiotic Symbiodiniaceae in corals exposed to thermal stress
The coral reef crisis has influenced research for over two decades, during which time the capacity of corals to withstand and respond to...
-
Evidence for de novo acquisition of microalgal symbionts by bleached adult corals
Early life stages of most coral species acquire microalgal endosymbionts (Symbiodiniaceae) from the environment, but whether exogenous symbiont...
-
Disparate genetic divergence patterns in three corals across a pan-Pacific environmental gradient highlight species-specific adaptation
Tropical coral reefs are among the most affected ecosystems by climate change and face increasing loss in the coming decades. Effective conservation...

Species List of Cuban Stony Corals: Class Anthozoa, Order Scleractinia; Class Hydrozoa, Suborders Capitata and Filifera
This chapter updates the list of Cuban stony corals through the review of all published taxonomic, bathymetric, or geographical information. Species...

Biology, Ecology, and Threats to Cold-Water Corals on Brazil’s Deep-Sea Margin
In the region of Brazil, cold-water corals are distributed from the Equatorial to the Southern Brazilian margins and on nearby seamounts, mainly...

Year-round variations in reserve lipid molecular species of the Indo-Pacific corals Sinularia flexibilis and Millepora platyphylla
Lipid molecular species profiles of marine invertebrates still remain very poorly understood. We have studied year-round variations in the levels of...

Biodiversity and distribution of corals in Chile
The present review investigates our current knowledge of the richness and distribution of coral species inhabiting diverse habitats in Chilean...

DNA from non-viable bacteria biases diversity estimates in the corals Acropora loripes and Pocillopora acuta
BackgroundNucleic acid-based analytical methods have greatly expanded our understanding of global prokaryotic diversity, yet standard metabarcoding...

Deep-Sea Corals of the North and Central Pacific Seamounts
The North and Central Pacific are home to a number of major archipelagos including Hawaii, the Marianas, Samoa, Line Islands, Phoenix Islands, and...

Timing of final oocyte maturation in Acropora and merulinid corals
Final oocyte maturation is a gametogenic process that occurs at the end of oogenesis, which includes germinal vesicle migration (GVM) and germinal...
-
Selective Breeding to Enhance the Adaptive Potential of Corals
The decline of coral reefs has prompted an emergent field of research on the potential for various biological interventions focused on increasing...
-
Novel species discrimination method elucidates colony growth form variation between the New Zealand soft corals Kotatea aurantiaca and Kotatea lobata
In New Zealand, Kotatea aurantiaca and Kotatea lobata are two common, endemic, co-occurring, and morphologically similar soft coral species that...

Probing the thermo tolerant endosymbiont genus Durusdinium (Clade D) in the scleractinian corals of Palk Bay, Southeast coast of India
The world’s coral reef ecosystems are built by a symbiotic relationship between reef corals and the dinoflagellates of the family Symbiodiniaceae....
