Ocean acidification is considered detrimental to marine calcifiers, but mounting contradictory
evidence suggests a need to revisit this concept. This systematic review and meta‐analysis …

The symbiosis between cnidarians (eg, corals or sea anemones) and intracellular
dinoflagellate algae of the genus Symbiodinium is of immense ecological importance. In …

" There are more coral species in deep, cold-waters than in tropical coral reefs. This broad-
ranging treatment is the first to synthesise current understanding of all types of cold-water …

In this review we discuss the present knowledge on the biological and environmental control
of biomineralization (calcification) in hermatypic corals. We describe first the anatomy of the …

In spite of more than one century and half of studies, mechanisms of coral biomineralization,
leading to coral growth and reef formation, still remain poorly known, although major global …

Some invertebrates have enlisted autotrophic unicellular algae to provide a competitive
metabolic advantage in nutritionally demanding habitats. These symbioses exist primarily …

Insight into the response of reef corals and other major marine calcifiers to ocean
acidification is limited by a lack of knowledge about how seawater pH and carbonate …

Massive scleractinian corals secrete an aragonitic skeleton which incorporates a large array
of chemical tracers. Corals present several advantages for palaeoclimate research: they …

Stony corals build hard skeletons of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) by combining calcium with
carbonate ions derived, ultimately, from seawater. The concentration of carbonate ions …

Coral reefs constitute real oasis sheltering for about one third of the identified fishes,
representing a major advantage for the economy and tourism of many tropical countries …
