Do reef corals age?
Hydra is emerging as a model organism for studies of ageing in early metazoan animals, but
reef corals offer an equally ancient evolutionary perspective as well as several advantages …

Initiating a regenerative response; cellular and molecular features of wound healing in the cnidarian Nematostella vectensis
Background Wound healing is the first stage of a series of cellular events that are necessary
to initiate a regenerative response. Defective wound healing can block regeneration even in …

Integrating microRNA and mRNA expression profiling in Symbiodinium microadriaticum, a dinoflagellate symbiont of reef-building corals
Background Animal and plant genomes produce numerous small RNAs (smRNAs) that
regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally affecting metabolism, development, and …

Evolution of TNF-induced apoptosis reveals 550 My of functional conservation
The Precambrian explosion led to the rapid appearance of most major animal phyla alive
today. It has been argued that the complexity of life has steadily increased since that event …

Temperature and water quality-related patterns in sediment-associated Symbiodinium communities impact symbiont uptake and fitness of juveniles in the genus …
The majority of corals acquire their photo-endosymbiont Symbiodinium from environmental
sources anew each generation. Despite the critical role that environmental availability of …

Rapid evolution of coral proteins responsible for interaction with the environment
Background Corals worldwide are in decline due to climate change effects (eg, rising
seawater temperatures), pollution, and exploitation. The ability of corals to cope with these …

Transcriptomic differences between day and night in Acropora millepora provide new insights into metabolite exchange and light‐enhanced calcification in corals
The evolutionary success of reef‐building corals is often attributed to their symbiotic
relationship with photosynthetic dinoflagellates of the genus Symbiodinium, but metabolic …

[HTML][HTML] The biology of coral metamorphosis: molecular responses of larvae to inducers of settlement and metamorphosis
Like many other cnidarians, corals undergo metamorphosis from a motile planula larva to a
sedentary polyp. In some sea anemones such as Nematostella this process is a smooth …
