Experimental coral reef communities transform yet persist under mitigated future ocean warming and acidification.

Coral reefs are among the most sensitive ecosystems affected by ocean warming and acidification, and are predicted to collapse over the next few decades. Reefs are predicted to shift from net accreting calcifier-dominated systems with exceptionally high biodiversity to net eroding algal-dominated systems with dramatically reduced biodiversity. Here, we present a two-year experimental study examining the responses of entire mesocosm coral reef communities to warming (+2 °C), acidification (-0.

The complete mitochondrial genome of a species of de Blainville, 1830 from Kaua'i, Hawai'i (Hexacorallia: Antipatharia).

This study reports the first mitogenome from the antipatharian (black coral) genus (GenBank accession number ON653414). The 20,452 bp mitochondrial genome of cf LS-2022 consists of 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes, and two tRNA genes ( and ). The mitogenome is typical of other antipatharian families, including an A + T biased (64.
