Rethinking the phylogeny of scleractinian corals: a review of morphological and molecular data
Scleractinian corals, which include the architects of coral reefs, are found throughout the
world's oceans and have left a rich fossil record over their 240 million year history. Their …

Extraordinary diversity of reef corals in the South China Sea
Abstract The South China Sea in the Central Indo-Pacific is a large marine region that spans
an area of more than 3 million km 2 bounded by the coastlines of ten Asian nation states and …

Taxonomic classification of the reef coral families Merulinidae, Montastraeidae, and Diploastraeidae (Cnidaria: Anthozoa: Scleractinia)
Modern coral taxonomy has begun to resolve many long-standing problems in traditional
systematics stemming from its reliance on skeletal macromorphology. By integrating …

The new systematics of Scleractinia: integrating molecular and morphological evidence
The taxonomy of scleractinian corals has traditionally been established based on
morphology at the “macro” scale since the time of Carl Linnaeus. Taxa described using …

Effects of diurnally oscillating pCO2 on the calcification and survival of coral recruits
Manipulative studies have demonstrated that ocean acidification (OA) is a threat to coral
reefs, yet no experiments have employed diurnal variations in p CO2 that are ecologically …

The influence of seawater temperature on the timing of coral spawning
We report the influence of seawater temperature on the timing of coral spawning for three
time-scales; months, days, and hours for four scleractinian coral species (Acropora …

Trophic plasticity of mixotrophic corals under contrasting environments
N Sturaro, YE Hsieh, Q Chen, PL Wang… - Functional …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Mixotrophic organisms can derive nutrition from both auto‐and heterotrophy, which allows
them to use a variety of trophic pathways to sustain their metabolic demands under variable …
