intra-colony plasticity in the colonial Indo-Pacific stony coral, Stylophora pistillata

The fluorescence of the calcium dye Indo-1 was measured in solution by confocal microscopy at different calcium concentrations. A calibration curve was produced from the ratio...

Despite its prominent role as an intracellular messenger in all organisms, intracellular free calcium ([Ca2+]i) has not been quantified in corals or cnidarians in general....

In corals, pH regulation of the extracellular calcifying medium (ECM) by the calcifying cell layer is a crucial step in the calcification process and is potentially important to...

Corals are globally important calcifiers that exhibit complex responses to anthropogenic warming and acidification. Although coral calcification is supported by high seawater...

A decrease in ocean pH of 0.3 units will likely double the proportion of dissolved copper (Cu) present as the free metal ion, Cu2+, the most bioavailable form of Cu, and one of...

Distinguishing between environmental and species-specific physiological signals, recorded in coral skeletons, is one of the fundamental challenges in their reliable use as...

Ocean acidification causes corals to calcify at reduced rates, but current understanding of the underlying processes is limited. Here, we conduct a mechanistic study into how...

The goal of this study was to investigate species boundaries in the scleractinian genus, Pocillopora. We used ezRAD libraries from 13 Pocillopora individuals across 7 species...

Climate change-related phenomena, in particular ocean acidification, are expected to negatively interfere with the capacity of corals to calcify. In this study we tested pH...

Raw sequencing data (ddRAD) for Stylophora pistillata individuals, belonging to divergent taxa, collected from several locations on the Great Barrier Reef (Australia)

We focus on primary polyps, the initial coral calcifying stage, of Stylophora pistillata, an ubiquitous Indo-Pacific stony coral species, grown under ambient and under acidic...

stylophora pistillata diurnal transcriptome

We show here that CO2 partial pressure (pCO2) and temperature significantly interact on coral physiology. The effects of increased pCO2 and temperature on photosynthesis,...

We show here that CO2 partial pressure (pCO2) and temperature significantly interact on coral physiology. The effects of increased pCO2 and temperature on photosynthesis,...

The effects of ocean acidification and elevated seawater temperature on coral calcification and photosynthesis have been extensively investigated over the last two decades,...

The carbonate chemistry of seawater is usually not considered to be an important factor influencing calcium-carbonate-precipitation by corals because surface seawater is...

Many studies have investigated the effect of an increase in pCO2 on coral calcification and photosynthesis but the physiological consequences are still relatively speculative....

Uptake of anthropogenic CO2 by the oceans is altering seawater chemistry with potentially serious consequences for coral reef ecosystems due to the reduction of seawater pH and...

The decrease in the saturation state of seawater, following seawater acidification, is believed to be the main factor leading to a decrease in the calcification of marine...
