Similarly, we can detect whether a coral derives its energy from photosynthesis (in which case, it would have relatively low nitrogen-isotope values) or from actively catching prey (in which case ...

Limnology and Oceanography, Vol. 54, No. 6 (Nov., 2009), pp. 1995-2002 (8 pages) Diel cycles of photosynthesis, respiration, and calcification were studied in situ on two hermatypic corals, Acropora ...

They can still use photosynthesis,” Padilla-Gamino animatedly explained via phone from her university office Thursday. Researchers motor back to Lahaina near the dive site of a deep-water coral ...

Oxygen levels on coral reefs naturally fluctuate in a daily cycle, with dissolved oxygen peaking around noon and gradually falling as the light fades. At night when photosynthesis stops ...

some extinct coral groups had a symbiotic association with photosynthetic microorganisms. This ‘photosymbiosis’ might have contributed to the high productivity of ancient reefs in low-nutrient ...
