This international event is designed to bring together scientists, resource managers, students, and policy-makers from around the world who are actively involved in research and management of deepsea corals and other deepsea habitats. Understanding the ecosystem role, function and value of deepsea corals and associated fauna has become a priority for many national governments and international resource management bodies. Continuing the tradition of the previous symposia, the 4th International Symposium on Deepsea Corals will allow attendees to share their research results, discuss collaborative opportunities, identify information gaps, and discuss deepsea coral protection and the statutory means available to do so. Our programme comprises four days of invited and offered presentations from many of the best international and local researchers, and includes poster sessions, participatory workshops and informal discussion groups. The papers submitted to this Symposium are diverse and stimulating with nearly 200 contributions from 29 countries. Their high standard made the scientific reviewers’ task of selecting oral presentations difficult and we emphasise that poster presentations are equally important contributions. Selected papers from the conference are scheduled to be published in a theme section of Marine Ecology Progress Series by late 2009. We thank all the sponsors of, and contributors to, this symposium; your enthusiasm and generosity has resulted in a full and exciting programme. On behalf of the members of the International Scientific Committee, Local Committee, scientific reviewers, and conference organisers, we welcome you to Wellington and look forward to meeting you all during the week ahead.

Trait-based research might lead to a deeper understanding of the functions of, and services provided by, ecosystems, thereby improving management, which is vital in the current era of rapid environmental change. Coral reef scientists have long collected trait data for corals; however, these are difficult to access and often under-utilized in addressing large-scale questions. We present the Coral Trait Database initiative that aims to bring together physiological, morphological, ecological, phylogenetic and biogeographic trait information into a single repository.

    Symbionts and Environmental Factors Related to Deep-Sea Coral Size and Health

    Symbionts and environmental factors related to deep-sea coral size and health Erin Malsbury, University of Georgia Mentor: Linda Kuhnz Summer 2018 Keywords: deep-sea coral, epibionts, symbionts, ecology, Sur Ridge, white polyps ABSTRACT We analyzed video footage from a remotely operated vehicle to estimate the size, environmental variation, and epibiont community of three types of deep-sea corals (class Anthozoa) at Sur Ridge off the coast of central California. For all three of the corals, Keratoisis, Isidella tentaculum, and Paragorgia arborea, species type was correlated with the number of epibionts on the coral. Paragorgia arborea had the highest average number of symbionts, followed by Keratoisis. Epibionts were identified to the lowest possible taxonomic level and categorized as predators or commensalists. Around twice as many Keratoisis were found with predators as Isidella tentaculum, while no predators were found on Paragorgia arborea. Corals were also measured from photos and divided into size classes for each type based on natural breaks. The northern sites of the mound supported larger Keratoisis and Isidella tentaculum than the southern portion, but there was no relationship between size and location for Paragorgia arborea. The northern sites of Sur Ridge were also the only place white polyps were found. These polyps were seen mostly on Keratoisis, but were occasionally found on the skeletons of Isidella tentaculum and even Lillipathes, an entirely separate subclass of corals from Keratoisis. Overall, although coral size appears to be impacted by 1 environmental variables and location for Keratoisis and Isidella tentaculum, the presence of symbionts did not appear to correlate with coral size for any of the coral types.

Here we provide the first comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of the Chrysogorgiidae, and compare phylogeny and depth distribution. Phylogenetic relationships among 10 of 14 currently-described Chrysogorgiidae genera were inferred based on mitochondrial (mtMutS, cox1) and nuclear (18S) markers. Bathymetric distribution was estimated from multiple sources, including museum records, a literature review, and our own sampling records (985 stations, 2345 specimens). Genetic analyses suggest that the Chrysogorgiidae as currently described is a polyphyletic family. Shallow-water genera, and two of eight deep-water genera, appear more closely related to other octocoral families than to the remainder of the monophyletic, deep-water chrysogorgiid genera. Monophyletic chrysogorgiids are composed of strictly (Iridogorgia Verrill, 1883, Metallogorgia Versluys, 1902, Radicipes Stearns, 1883, Pseudochrysogorgia Pante & France, 2010) and predominantly (Chrysogorgia Duchassaing & Michelotti, 1864) deep-sea genera that diversified in situ.

Abstract We investigate the Holocene growth history of the Mingulay Reef Complex, a seascape of inshore cold-water coral reefs off western Scotland, using U-series dating of 34 downcore and radiocarbon dating of 21 superficial corals. Both chronologies reveal that the reef framework-forming scleractinian coral Lophelia pertusa shows episodic occurrence during the late Holocene. Downcore U-series dating revealed unprecedented reef growth rates of up to 12 mm a-1 with a mean rate of 3 – 4 mm a-1.
