Heterotrophy in tropical scleractinian corals
F Houlbrèque, C Ferrier‐Pagès - Biological Reviews, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
The dual character of corals, that they are both auto‐and heterotrophs, was recognized early
in the twentieth Century. It is generally accepted that the symbiotic association between …

Considerations for maximizing the adaptive potential of restored coral populations in the western Atlantic
Active coral restoration typically involves two interventions: crossing gametes to facilitate
sexual larval propagation; and fragmenting, growing, and outplanting adult colonies to …

Climate change and coral reef bleaching: An ecological assessment of long-term impacts, recovery trends and future outlook
Since the early 1980s, episodes of coral reef bleaching and mortality, due primarily to
climate-induced ocean warming, have occurred almost annually in one or more of the …
