Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide has resulted in scientific projections of changes in global temperatures, climate in general, and surface seawater chemistry. Although the …
" 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 …
Ocean acidification (OA), a consequence of anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions, poses a serious threat to marine organisms in tropical, open-ocean, coastal, deep-sea, and high …
Background Corals are capable of launching diverse immune defenses at the site of direct contact with pathogens, but the molecular mechanisms of this activity and the colony-wide …

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 …
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 …

1.1 Background Carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the most impor-tant gases in the atmosphere, affecting the radiative heat balance of the earth as well as the calcium …
Coral reefs are among the most diverse and productive ecosystems on our planet. Scleractinian corals function as the primary reef ecosystem engineers, constructing the …
The declining health of coral reefs worldwide is likely to intensify in response to continued anthropogenic disturbance from coastal development, pollution, and climate change. In …
