Intratentacular budding and zooid-dynamics in two coral genera by Matan Yuval, Amit Peleg, Elvan Ceyhan, Dan Tchernov, Yossi Loya, Avi Bar-Massada, Tali Treibitz

“…Our findings suggest that the morphogenetic cycle of zooids is conserved and size-dependent, that budding mechanics are associated with structural complexity, and that zooids form coalitions by developmental phase implying concentrated growth and stagnation.The zooid-centric approach is transferable and scalable and can be implemented to track corals in different applications from nurseries to wide scale monitoring programs. It can improve our understanding of coral colony formation, and how coral colonies and individual zooids react to disturbances such as physical damage from storms, coral bleaching, and pollution.This work bridges the gap between theory and in situ observations, making it a valuable resource for informing other research on coral colony formation and growth modeling, self-organization in modular systems, and coral reef restoration strategies. …”
