Coral reefs are in decline worldwide, and land‐derived sources of pollution, including
sewage, are a major force driving that deterioration. This review presents evidence that …

Steroid molecules are present in all invertebrates, and some of them have established
hormonal roles: this is the case for ecdysteroids in arthropods and, to a lesser extent, for …

The occurrence of UV-filters in the environment has raised concerns over potentially
adverse impacts on corals. In this study, the concentrations of 13 UV-filters and 11 hormones …

Sexual reproduction by scleractinian reef corals is important for maintaining coral
populations and evolutionary processes. The ongoing global renaissance in coral …

The impacts of human and natural disturbances on coral reefs are typically quantified
through visible damage (eg, reduced coral coverage as a result of bleaching events), but …

Reduced water quality degrades coral reefs, resulting in compromised ecosystem function
and services to coastal communities. Increasing management capacity on reefs requires …

As a result of endocrine disruptor studies, there are numerous examples of male related
reproductive abnormalities observed in vertebrates. Contrastingly, within the invertebrates …

Estrogens, such as the 17β-estradiol (E2) and the 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2), have been
regarded as a global threat to aquatic ecosystems due to their pseudo-persistence, their …

Background Tropical coral reefs cover only ca. 0.1% of the Earth's surface but harbour
exceptional marine biodiversity and provide vital ecosystem services to millions of people …

The starlet sea anemone Nematostella vectensis has been recently established as a new
model system for the study of the evolution of developmental processes, as cnidaria occupy …
