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 …

A ll reef-forming, or hermatypic, corals are a symbiotic associa-tion between a cnidarian ani-
mal host and unicellular dinoflagel-late algae, called zooxanthellae (Muscatine 1980) …

General Editor: Peter Calow, Department of Zoology, University of Sheffield, England The
main aim of this series will be to illustrate and to explain the way organisms' make a living'in …

The mutualistic relationship between corals and their dinoflagellate endosymbionts is a key
factor in the evolutionary success of hermatypic (reef building) corals. The endosymbiotic …

Ambient irradiance levels determine the rate of carbon influx into zooxanthellae at any given
time, and thereby the energy available for the whole coral symbiotic association. Long-term …

The diffusive boundary layers surrounding sessile marine organisms have been implicated
in controlling an organism's metabolism and growth. We studied boundary layers …

Enrichment of the hermatypic Red Sea coral Stylophora pistillata with dissolved inorganic
nitrogen, inorganic nitrogen+ phosphorus, and feeding on Artemia, all led to increases in …

Experiments were designed to assess the uptake rates of 0.2, 1, and 5 μM ammonium by the
scleractinian coral Stylophora pistillata maintained under different feeding regimes (highly …

Nitrogen fixation, as measured by acetylene reduction, has been detected to be associated
with various hermatypic corals. Experiments were carried out on the massive coral Favia …

This work investigated the effect of light and feeding on tissue composition as well as on
rates of photosynthesis and calcification in the zooxanthellae (zoox) scleractinian coral …
