Different algal symbionts explain the vertical distribution of dominant reef corals in the eastern Pacific. Symbiotic reef corals occupy the entire photic zone; however, most species have distinct zonation patterns within the light intensity gradient. It is hypot... R Iglesias-Prieto,VH Beltran,LaJeu...

In most areas, the steep north-east facing footwall slopes seem to have limited reef progradation.The coral fauna shows an entirely Miocene Mediterranean affinity with no apparent faunal overlap with the Miocene reef coral fauna from the neighbouring Indo- Pacific. Material collected from the ...
Located astride the equator in the eastern Pacific region (Fig. 1), from about 2.0° north to 1.5° south, the Galápagos Islands are subject to diverse and sometimes stressful marine and atmospheric conditions that undergo marked hourly, daily, seasonal and inter-annual variation (Houvenaghel, ...
alvarezii invaded the Gulf of Mannar Biosphere Reserve in south India a decade after commercial cultivation began in nearby Panban. "No part of the coral reef was visible in most of the invaded sites, where it doomed entire colonies," the journal Current Science has reported. In the Pacific,...
