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.

  • Coral-Associated Bacteria Demonstrate Phylosymbiosis and Cophylogeny
    ARTICLE DOI: 10.1038/s41467-018-07275-x OPEN Coral-associated bacteria demonstrate phylosymbiosis and cophylogeny F. Joseph Pollock1, Ryan McMinds 2, Styles Smith1, David G. Bourne3,4, Bette L. Willis3,5, Mónica Medina 1,6, Rebecca Vega Thurber2 & Jesse R. Zaneveld7 Scleractinian corals’ microbial symbionts influence host health, yet how coral microbiomes assembled over evolution is not well understood. We survey bacterial and archaeal 1234567890():,; communities in phylogenetically diverse Australian corals representing more than 425 million years of diversification. We show that coral microbiomes are anatomically compartmenta- lized in both modern microbial ecology and evolutionary assembly. Coral mucus, tissue, and skeleton microbiomes differ in microbial community composition, richness, and response to host vs. environmental drivers. We also find evidence of coral-microbe phylosymbiosis, in which coral microbiome composition and richness reflect coral phylogeny. Surprisingly, the coral skeleton represents the most biodiverse coral microbiome, and also shows the stron- gest evidence of phylosymbiosis. Interactions between bacterial and coral phylogeny sig- nificantly influence the abundance of four groups of bacteria–including Endozoicomonas-like bacteria, which divide into host-generalist and host-specific subclades. Together these results trace microbial symbiosis across anatomy during the evolution of a basal animal lineage. 1 Department of Biology, Pennsylvania State University, 208 Mueller Lab, University Park, State College, PA 16802, USA. 2 Department of Microbiology, Oregon State University, 226 Nash Hall, Corvallis, OR 97331, USA. 3 College of Science and Engineering, James Cook University, Townsville, QLD 4811, Australia. 4 Australian Institute of Marine Science, Townsville, QLD 4810, Australia. 5 ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies, James Cook University, Townsville, QLD 4811, Australia.

ZooKeys 793: 1–14. https://doi. org/10.3897/zookeys.793.28977 Abstract Lack of mitochondrial genome data of Scleractinia is hampering progress across genetic, systematic, phy- logenetic, and evolutionary studies concerning this taxon. Therefore, in this study, the complete mitog- enome sequence of the stony coral Echinophyllia aspera (Ellis & Solander, 1786), has been decoded for the first time by next generation sequencing and genome assembly. The assembled mitogenome is 17,697 bp in length, containing 13 protein coding genes (PCGs), two transfer RNAs and two ribosomal RNAs. It has the same gene content and gene arrangement as in other Scleractinia. All genes are encoded on the same strand. Most of the PCGs use ATG as the start codon except for ND2, which uses ATT as the start codon. The A+T content of the mitochondrial genome is 65.92% (25.35% A, 40.57% T, 20.65% G, and 13.43% for C).

  • New Genus and Species Record of Reef Coral Micromussa Amakusensis In
    Ng et al. Marine Biodiversity Records (2019) 12:17 https://doi.org/10.1186/s41200-019-0176-3 RESEARCH Open Access New genus and species record of reef coral Micromussa amakusensis in the southern South China Sea Chin Soon Lionel Ng1,2, Sudhanshi Sanjeev Jain1, Nhung Thi Hong Nguyen1, Shu Qin Sam2, Yuichi Preslie Kikuzawa2, Loke Ming Chou1,2 and Danwei Huang1,2* Abstract Background: Recent taxonomic revisions of zooxanthellate scleractinian coral taxa have inevitably resulted in confusion regarding the geographic ranges of even the most well-studied species. For example, the recorded distribution ranges of Stylophora pistillata and Pocillopora damicornis, two of the most intensely researched experimental subjects, have been restricted dramatically due to confounding cryptic species. Micromussa is an Indo-Pacific genus that has been revised recently. The revision incorporated five new members and led to substantial range restriction of its type species and only initial member M. amakusensis to Japan and the Coral Triangle. Here, we report the presence of Micromussa amakusensis in Singapore using phylogenetic methods. Results: A total of seven M. amakusensis colonies were recorded via SCUBA surveys at four coral reef sites south of mainland Singapore, including two artificial seawall sites. Colonies were found encrusting on dead coral skeletons or bare rocky substrate between 2 and 5 m in depth. Morphological examination and phylogenetic analyses support the identity of these colonies as M. amakusensis, but the phylogeny reconstruction also shows that they form relatively distinct branches with unexpected lineage diversity. Conclusions: Our results and verified geographic records of M. amakusensis illustrate that, outside the type locality in Japan, the species can also be found widely in the South China Sea.

  • Diversity, Phylogeography, and Taxonomy of Hard-Corals in the Genus Porites from the Arabian Peninsula
    Diversity, Phylogeography, and Taxonomy of Hard-Corals in the Genus Porites from the Arabian Peninsula Dissertation by Tullia Isotta Terraneo In partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, Thuwal, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia © December, 2019 Tullia Isotta Terraneo All rights reserved 2 EXAMINATION COMMITTEE PAGE The dissertation of Tullia Isotta Terraneo is approved by the examination committee. Committee Chairperson: Prof. Michael L. Berumen Committee Co-Chair: Prof. Andrew H. Baird Committee Members: Prof. Christian R. Voolstra, Prof. Mark Tester External Examiner: Prof. James D. Reimer 3 ABSTRACT Diversity, Phylogeography and Evolution of Hard-Corals in the genus Porites from the Arabian Peninsula Tullia Isotta Terraneo The genus Porites is one of the most important scleractinian genera in terms of species diversity and panmictic tropical distribution. However, Porites is notorious for challenging taxonomic identification based on colony gross morphology, micromorphology, and single gene analyses, suggesting that the current classification poorly represents real evolutionary relationships. This research integrates skeletal morphology data and single locus genetic evidence with genome-wide analyses and alternative line of evidence to taxonomy (i.e. symbiotic association data), with the aim of clarifying biodiversity, biogeography, and taxonomy of Porites from the Arabian Peninsula. In this dissertation, I evaluated the diversity of Porites in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, providing a basic morpho-molecular background to the taxonomy of Porites in the region, and highlighting that a) the current taxonomic and phylogenetic position of 15 Porites morphological species needs to be reassessed, and that b) coral biodiversity in the Arabian region needs to be re-evaluated.

It comprises species traditionally classified as Indo-Pacific ‘mussids’, ‘faviids’, and ‘pectiniids’. Following detailed revisions of the closely related families Merulinidae, Mussidae, Montastraeidae, and Diploastraeidae, this monograph focuses on the taxonomy of Lobophylliidae. Specifically, we studied 44 of a total of 54 living lobophylliid species from all 11 genera based on an integrative analysis of colony, corallite, and subcorallite morphology with molecular sequence data.

  • Recent Changes in Scleractinian Coral Nomenclature and Classification
    Recent changes in Scleractinian coral nomenclature and classification. (A practical guide for coral and reef ecologists) Michel Pichon Adjunct Professor, James Cook University Australia Honorary Associate, Museum of Tropical Queensland, Townsville The following document provides information on changes which were introduced recently in the classification and nomenclature of scleractinian corals. Such changes stem to a large extent from the research activity and the syntheses carried out by the members of the international “Scleractinian Systematics Working Group” (SSWG) over the last few years. They are the result of a multi-pronged approach combining the information provided by the implementation of relatively new techniques, which have only recently been applied to scleractinian coral taxonomy. Such new tools include, inter alia, morphometrics, microstructural analyses, anatomy of soft parts and molecular genetics. The changes thus made to the nomenclature and classification of scleractinian corals underlie a move towards a classification reflecting more and more the phylogeny of various taxa, and as a result may place side by side morphologically very dissimilar species. Furthermore, such a move will require a re-definition of numerous genera (and of some families, which from a practical viewpoint is less critical) in accordance with the rules set out in the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. Such a work is still to be done and a number of genera remain to this day without an adequate revised diagnostic morphological characterization. Several important studies are still in progress and one may expect additional changes in the near future. The present document, therefore, does not pretend to represent a complete revision of scleractinian coral taxonomy.

  • Parascolymia (Scleractinia: Lobophylliidae) in the Central Paratethys Sea (Vienna Basin, Austria) and Its Possible Biogeographic Implications
    RESEARCH ARTICLE Parascolymia (Scleractinia: Lobophylliidae) in the Central Paratethys Sea (Vienna Basin, Austria) and its possible biogeographic implications Markus Reuter*, Thomas Wiedl, Werner E. Piller Institute for Earth Sciences, University of Graz, Graz, Austria * [email protected] Abstract Palaeobiogeographical and palaeodiversity patterns of scleractinian reef corals are gener- ally biased due to uncertain taxonomy and a loss of taxonomic characters through dissolu- tion and recrystallization of the skeletal aragonite in shallow marine limestones. Herein, we describe a fossil lobophylliid coral in mouldic preservation from the early middle Miocene OPEN ACCESS Leitha Limestone of the Central Paratethys Sea (Vienna Basin, Austria). By using grey- Citation: Reuter M, Wiedl T, Piller WE (2015) scale image inversion and silicone rubber casts for the visualization of the original skeletal Parascolymia (Scleractinia: Lobophylliidae) in the anatomy and the detection of distinct micromorphological characters (i.e. shape of septal Central Paratethys Sea (Vienna Basin, Austria) and its possible biogeographic implications.

In the recent era, Parascolymia like all Lobophylliidae Editor: Geerat J. Vermeij, University of California, is restricted to the Indo-Pacific region, where it is represented by a single species. The new UNITED STATES species proves the genus also in the Miocene Mediterranean reef coral province. A review Received: August 20, 2014 of the spatio-temporal relationships of fossil corals related to Parascolymia indicates that the genus was probably rooted in the Eastern Atlantic‒Western Tethys region during the Accepted: June 11, 2015 Paleocene to Eocene and reached the Indo-Pacific region not before the Oligocene.
