R-type lectins are a widespread group of sugar-binding proteins found in nearly all domains
of life, characterized by the presence of a carbohydrate-binding domain that adopts a β …

Many studies have reported the adverse effects of various anthropogenic activities, including
climate change and ocean acidification, on coral reefs. While the molecular effects of these …

The integration of physical and high-density genetic maps is a very useful approach to
achieve chromosome-level genome assemblies. Here, the genome of a male Senegalese …

Polyps in different locations on individual stony coral colonies experience variation in
numerous environmental conditions including flow and light, potentially leading to …

Although numerous dinoflagellate species (Family Symbiodiniaceae) are present in coral
reef environments, Acropora corals tend to select a single species, Symbiodinium …

Many anthozoans, eg, sea anemones and corals, have remarkable capacities for asexual
reproduction and regeneration, creating complete individual polyps from pieces of parental …

Many marine organisms synchronously spawn at specific times to ensure the success of
external fertilization in the ocean. Corals are famous examples of synchronized spawning at …

Coral microbiomes differ in the mucus, soft tissue and skeleton of a coral colony, but whether
variations exist in different tissues of a single polyp is unknown. In the stony coral …

Sexual reproduction is a crucial process for reef building coral populations to maximize
genetic diversity and recover from large scale disturbances. Mass spawning events by …

Olaquindox (OLA), a potent antibacterial agent, has been widely used as a feed additive and
growth promoter in animal husbandry. Our previous study has shown that OLA …
