Coral reef ecosystems thrive in tropical oligotrophic oceans because of the relationship
between corals and endosymbiotic dinoflagellate algae called Symbiodinium …

A limited diversity of character states for reproductive traits and a robust phylogeny make
scleractinian corals an ideal model organism with which to explore the evolution of life …

The environmental impacts of artificial light at night have been a rapidly growing field of
global change science in recent years. Yet, light pollution has not achieved parity with other …

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

Homologs of the green fluorescent protein (GFP), including the recently described GFP-like
domains of certain extracellular matrix proteins in Bilaterian organisms, are remarkably …

Dredging, river plumes and natural resuspension events can release sediments into the
water column where they exert a range of effects on underlying communities. In this review …

Most studies in chronobiology focus on solar cycles (daily and annual). Moonlight and the
lunar cycle received considerably less attention by chronobiologists. An exception are …

Dispersal allows species to shift their distributions in response to changing climate
conditions. As a result, dispersal is considered a key process contributing to a species' long …

Hundreds of species of reef-building corals spawn synchronously over a few nights each
year, and moonlight regulates this spawning event. However, the molecular elements …

Les données empiriques et expérimentales montrent que la reproduction des cnidaires est
plus variable qu'on ne l'avait cru précédemment et plusieurs déductions au sujet des …
