Caribbean Corals in Crisis: Record Thermal Stress, Bleaching, and Mortality in 2005
- C. M. Eakin, J. Morgan, Yusri Yusuf
- Environmental SciencePLoS ONE
- 15 November 2010
Comparison of satellite data against field surveys demonstrated a significant predictive relationship between accumulated heat stress (measured using NOAA Coral Reef Watch's Degree Heating Weeks) and bleaching intensity.
Connectivity of Caribbean coral populations: complementary insights from empirical and modelled gene flow
- N. Foster, Claire B Paris-Limouzy, P. Mumby
- Environmental ScienceMolecular Ecology
- 1 March 2012
A multi‐prong approach, integrating genetic data and spatially realistic models of larval dispersal and genetic projection, provides complementary insights into the processes underpinning population connectivity in marine invertebrates on evolutionary timescales.
Community involvement in management for maintaining coral reef resilience and biodiversity in southern Caribbean marine protected areas
- C. Camargo, Jorge H. Maldonado, J. A. Sánchez
- Environmental ScienceBiodiversity and Conservation
- 1 April 2009
Climate change is posing new challenges to conservation because management policies on protected coral reefs are less effective than they were before the current ecosystem degradation. Coral reefs,…

Emerging next-generation genomic-sequencing technologies offer the best hope for a breakthrough in the understanding of phylogenetic relationships and of evolution of morphological traits in Octocorallia.
Systematics of the bubblegum corals (Cnidaria: Octocorallia: Paragorgiidae) with description of new species from New Zealand and the Eastern Pacific
- J. A. Sánchez
- Biology
- 4 July 2005
The phylogenetic relationships of the remaining species indicate that most paragorgiid diversity and speciation took place in the Indo-Pacific region, as suggested by a number of sympatric species.
Age and growth of two genera of deep-sea bamboo corals (family isididae) in New Zealand waters
- D. Tracey, H. Neil, P. Marriott, A. Andrews, G. Cailliet, J. A. Sánchez
- Geology
- 2007
Growth zone counts at two locations in the skeletal structure of four bamboo coral colonies are provided, hypothesized that zones observed by light microscope have a bi-annual periodicity and that SEM-observed zones at the nodal juncture may represent an environmental event, such as lunar periodicity.
Caribbean Shallow-Water Black Corals (Cnidaria: Anthozoa: Antipatharia)
- D. Opresko, J. A. Sánchez
- Biology
- 2005
This guide to 15 black coral species from the Caribbean reefs at depths shallower than about 100 m is provided to facilitate research on black corals on Caribbean reefs, where population surveys are urgently needed to evaluate or modify conservation policies.
Macroalgal-Associated Dinoflagellates Belonging to the Genus Symbiodinium in Caribbean Reefs
- I. Porto, C. Granados, J. C. Restrepo, J. A. Sánchez
- Environmental SciencePLoS ONE
- 14 May 2008
E ecological and molecular evidence is presented demonstrating the existence of demersal free-living Symbiodinium populations in Caribbean reefs and the possible role of the stoplight parrotfish (Sparisoma viride) as SymbiodInium spp.
