    Signaling cascades and the importance of moonlight in coral broadcast mass spawning

    Paulina Kaniewska, Shahar Alon ... Oren Levy
    Artificial light causes changes to gene expression and cellular signaling cascades that coordinate mass spawning events for a species of coral from the Great Barrier Reef.

    Comparative genomics explains the evolutionary success of reef-forming corals

    Debashish Bhattacharya, Shobhit Agrawal ... Paul G Falkowski
    The analysis of 20 coral genomic datasets provides unprecedented insights into what makes reef-building corals unique, including the evolution of novel gene families involved in biomineralization, signaling and stress responses that have led to their evolutionary success throughout the Phanerozoic Eon.

    Environmental pH signals the release of monosaccharides from cell wall in coral symbiotic alga

    Yuu Ishii, Hironori Ishii ... Shinichiro Maruyama
    Coral symbiotic alga is capable of degrading the own cell wall components by cellulase-related enzymes and releasing sugars as a simple and autonomous environmental response, even when the host-derived signals are not present.

    Combining agent-based, trait-based and demographic approaches to model coral-community dynamics

    Bruno Sylvain Carturan, Jason Pither ... Lael Parrott
    A new agent-based model enables predicting how coral species richness and functional diversity affect the functioning and resilience of coral reef ecosystems.
    1. Ecology

    Widespread variation in heat tolerance and symbiont load are associated with growth tradeoffs in the coral Acropora hyacinthus in Palau

    Brendan Cornwell, Katrina Armstrong ... Stephen R Palumbi
    Bleaching-resistant corals are widespread across Palau and concentrated in warmer regions, but this trait is associated with decreased growth which could lead to reduced fitness if it is the only priority of conservation efforts.

    Green fluorescent protein-like pigments optimise the internal light environment in symbiotic reef-building corals

    Elena Bollati, Niclas H Lyndby ... Daniel Wangpraseurt
    Scalar irradiance microsensor measurements performed inside the tissue of living corals show that absorption and fluorescence emission by host pigments produce dramatic spectral alterations in the light environment experienced by the symbionts.

    Sterol transfer by atypical cholesterol-binding NPC2 proteins in coral-algal symbiosis

    Elizabeth Ann Hambleton, Victor Arnold Shivas Jones ... Annika Guse
    Diversification of a conserved cholesterol binder drives functional replacement of cholesterol with symbiont-produced sterols in corals living in nutrient-poor environments.

    Bleaching causes loss of disease resistance within the threatened coral species Acropora cervicornis

    Erinn M Muller, Erich Bartels, Iliana B Baums
    Standing genetic variation for disease resistance may be continuously lost during recurring warm water episodes because of widespread susceptibility of disease-resistant genotypes to bleaching and the independence between these two traits.

    A causal role for right temporo-parietal junction in signaling moral conflict

    Ignacio Obeso, Marius Moisa ... Jean-Claude Dreher
    Disrupting the right temporo-parietal junction did not change the general motivation to give or adapt behavior to social reputation cues, but specifically reduced the impact of moral-material conflict.

    Discovery and characterization of Hv1-type proton channels in reef-building corals

    Gisela Rangel-Yescas, Cecilia Cervantes ... Leon D Islas
    Proton channels are present in reef-building corals and constitute important molecular players that should help understand calcification and the response of these organisms to ocean acidification.
