The Coral Trait Database, a curated database of trait information for coral species from the global oceans
Trait-based approaches advance ecological and evolutionary research because traits
provide a strong link to an organism's function and fitness. Trait-based research might lead …

An update on modes and timing of gamete and planula release in Hawaiian scleractinian corals with implications for conservation and management
SP Kolinski, EF Cox - Pacific Science, 2003 - muse.jhu.edu
Reproductive data for 24 of the 50 plus species of scleractinian corals in Hawai'i are

Coral histology reveals consistent declines in tissue integrity during a marine heatwave despite differences in bleaching severity
Marine heatwaves are starting to occur several times a decade, yet we do not understand
the effect this has on corals across biological scales. This study combines tissue-, organism …
