Natural Diet of Coral-Excavating Sponges Consists Mainly of Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC)
TLDR
It is hypothesized that excavating sponges may also benefit from an increasing production of more labile algal-derived DOC on reefs as a result of the ongoing coral-algal phase shift.

High dissolved organic carbon release by benthic cyanobacterial mats in a Caribbean reef ecosystem
TLDR
It is concluded that BCMs are significant sources of DOC and their increased abundance on coral reefs will lead to increased DOC release into the water column, which is likely to have negative implications for reef health.

Effect of light availability on dissolved organic carbon release by Caribbean reef algae and corals
TLDR
The results suggest that DOC release by Caribbean benthic primary producers varies considerably among species and depends on light availability in reef algae.

Size-specific locomotion rate and movement pattern of four common Indo-Pacific sea stars (Echinodermata; Asteroidea)
TLDR
An inter-specific comparison of locomotion rates using the number of body moves per minute suggests that the effect of body size partially overrules morphological and behavioral adaptations.

Towards Reef Resilience and Sustainable Livelihoods: A Handbook for Caribbean Coral Reef Managers
In 2009, the European Union funded a collaborative research programme between scientists in the Caribbean, Europe, Australia, and the United States. The project was entitled ‘Future of Reefs in a…
Ontogenetic habitat shift, population growth, and burrowing behavior of the Indo-Pacific beach star, Archaster typicus (Echinodermata; Asteroidea)
TLDR
This is one of the first studies to document an ontogenetic habitat shift for sea stars and provides new biological information as a basis for management of harvested A. typicus populations.

Feeding biology and symbiotic relationships of the corallimorpharian Paracorynactis Hoplites (Anthozoa: Hexacorallia )
TLDR
Polyps of the corallimorpharian Paracorynactis hoplites were studied in coral reefs of the Davao Gulf, the Philippines, between October 2007 and January 2009 and preyed mainly on echinoderms.
Differential processing of dissolved and particulate organic matter by deep-sea sponges and their microbial symbionts
TLDR
It is indicated that phylogeny and functional traits (e.g., abundance of microbial symbionts, morphology) influence food preferences and diet composition of sponges, which further helps to understand their role as key ecosystem engineers of deep-sea habitats.
