  • A Unique Coral Biomineralization Pattern Has Resisted 40 Million Years of Major Ocean Chemistry Change
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN A unique coral biomineralization pattern has resisted 40 million years of major ocean chemistry Received: 14 December 2015 Accepted: 17 May 2016 change Published: 15 June 2016 Jarosław Stolarski1, Francesca R. Bosellini2, Carden C. Wallace3, Anne M. Gothmann4, Maciej Mazur5, Isabelle Domart-Coulon6, Eldad Gutner-Hoch7, Rolf D. Neuser8, Oren Levy7, Aldo Shemesh9 & Anders Meibom10,11 Today coral reefs are threatened by changes to seawater conditions associated with rapid anthropogenic global climate change. Yet, since the Cenozoic, these organisms have experienced major fluctuations in atmospheric CO2 levels (from greenhouse conditions of high pCO2 in the Eocene to low pCO2 ice-house conditions in the Oligocene-Miocene) and a dramatically changing ocean Mg/Ca ratio. Here we show that the most diverse, widespread, and abundant reef-building coral genus Acropora (20 morphological groups and 150 living species) has not only survived these environmental changes, but has maintained its distinct skeletal biomineralization pattern for at least 40 My: Well-preserved fossil Acropora skeletons from the Eocene, Oligocene, and Miocene show ultra-structures indistinguishable from those of extant representatives of the genus and their aragonitic skeleton Mg/Ca ratios trace the inferred ocean Mg/Ca ratio precisely since the Eocene. Therefore, among marine biogenic carbonate fossils, well-preserved acroporid skeletons represent material with very high potential for reconstruction of ancient ocean chemistry. Genomic sequencing has transformed our understanding of the evolution of scleractinian corals. However, the molecular clades defined for scleractinians are difficult to reconcile with traditional taxonomic classification based on overall skeletal morphology1–3. Instead, they have been shown to be broadly consistent with recently defined micro-morphological and ultrastructural skeletal criteria4–7.

  • Hermatypic Coral Fauna of Subtropical Southeast Africa: a Checklist!
    Pacific Science (1996), vol. 50, no. 4: 404-414 © 1996 by University of Hawai'i Press. All rights reserved Hermatypic Coral Fauna of Subtropical Southeast Africa: A Checklist! 2 BERNHARD RrnGL ABSTRACT: The South African hermatypic coral fauna consists of 96 species in 42 scleractinian genera, one stoloniferous octocoral genus (Tubipora), and one hermatypic hydrocoral genus (Millepora). There are more species in southern Mozambique, with 151 species in 49 scleractinian genera, one stolo­ niferous octocoral (Tubipora musica L.), and one hydrocoral (Millepora exaesa [Forskal)). The eastern African coral faunas of Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, and South Africa are compared and Southeast Africa dis­ tinguished as a biogeographic subregion, with six endemic species.
