Evaluation of photosynthetic competency in time and space is critical for better estimates and models of oceanic primary productivity. This is especially true for areas where the lack of iron (Fe) limits phytoplankton productivity, such as the Southern Oce ...
coral thermotolerance differences reflective of in situ reef temperature thresholds. Using a suite of physiological parameters (photosynthetic efficiency, coral whitening, chlorophyll a , host protein, algal symbiont counts, and algal type association), we ...
Despite incredible thermotolerance to global warming, corals from Gulf of Aqaba are impacted by other local stressors such as copper (Cu) pollution. Multixenobiotic resistance (MXR) is the first line of cells defense against pollutant, however knowledge on ...
The future of coral reefs is under threat since anomalous heat waves are causing the death of reef building corals around the world. This phenomenon, known as "coral bleaching", has already resulted in widespread loss of coral over the past 30 years. Witho ...
Coral reefs are under threat and innovative management strategies are urgently required. However, discoveries from innovative fields of coral reef research are rarely transposed in practical conservation actions. This is mainly due to the difficulties in k ...
While the early acquisition of Symbiodiniaceae algae into coral host tissues has been extensively studied, the dynamics of the migration of algal cells into rapidly expanding coral tissues still lacks a systematic study. This work examined two Red Sea bran ...
Since their appearance in the Anisian (ca. 240 Ma) scleractinian corals rapidly diversified and expandedacross shallow marine environments, becoming the main builders of reefs. This ecological success coralsowe to their symbiotic relationship with photosyn ...
The Amphistegina Bleaching Index (ABI) was applied to three Maldivian reefs in the Rasdhoo and North Ari Atolls in 2018, during normal sea surface temperature conditions. This dataset was then compared with a 2015, pre-coral bleaching study. The results pr ...
Crustose coralline algae (CCA) are key organisms in coral reef ecosystems, where they contribute to reef building and substrate stabilization. While ocean acidification due to increasing CO2 can affect the biology, physiology and ecology of fully developed ...
Nitrogen (N) cycling in coral reefs is of key importance for these oligotrophic ecosystems, but knowledge about its pathways is limited. While dinitrogen (N2) fixation is comparably well studied, the counteracting denitrification pathway is under-investiga ...
