Abstract: Scleractinian corals, which create complex three-dimensional carbonate structures, are the foundation of coral reef ecosystems. There are a variety of coral growth forms or ‘morphologies’ that have distinct advantages and disadvantages when corals compete for… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijerph16203868
Abstract: The effects of hydrodynamic disturbances on the bacterial communities in eutrophic aquatic environments remain poorly understood, despite their importance to ecological evaluation and remediation. This study investigated the evolution of bacterial communities in the water–sediment… read more here.
