Low coral mortality during the most intense bleaching event ever recorded in subtropical Southwestern Atlantic reefs
Thomás N. S. Banha,K. C. C. Capel,Marcelo V. Kitahara,Marcelo V. Kitahara,Ronaldo B. Francini-Filho,C. L. B. Francini,Paulo Y. G. Sumida,Miguel Mies +7 more
TL;DR: The authors in this article reported that approximately 80% and 20% of the population of the reef-building coral Mussismilia hispida (1116 colonies surveyed) underwent bleaching in coastal and insular sites, respectively.

Clone wars: asexual reproduction dominates in the invasive range of Tubastraea spp. (Anthozoa: Scleractinia) in the South-Atlantic Ocean.
K. C. C. Capel,Robert J. Toonen,Caio T. C. C. Rachid,Joel C. Creed,Marcelo V. Kitahara,Marcelo V. Kitahara,Zac H. Forsman,Carla Zilberberg +7 more
TL;DR: Results suggest the occurrence of multiple invasions for T. coccinea and T. tagusensis and that both species are being transported along the coast by vectors such as oil platforms and monobouys, spreading these invasive species.

Another tool towards invasion? Polyp “bail-out” in Tubastraea coccinea
K. C. C. Capel,K. C. C. Capel,Alvaro Esteves Migotto,Carla Zilberberg,Marcelo V. Kitahara,Marcelo V. Kitahara +5 more
TL;DR: After being collected at the São Sebastião channel, Brazil, several colonies of T. coccinea were kept in an open-water system aquarium and plankton-fed every other day and it was possible to observe the tissue receding from the coenosteum before the detachment of polyps.
A polyp from nothing: The extreme regeneration capacity of the Atlantic invasive sun corals Tubastraea coccinea and T. tagusensis (Anthozoa, Scleractinia)
Bruna Louise Pereira Luz,K. C. C. Capel,Carla Zilberberg,Augusto A. V. Flores,Alvaro Esteves Migotto,Marcelo V. Kitahara,Marcelo V. Kitahara,Marcelo V. Kitahara +7 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that sun coral fragments may regenerate at temperatures that lead to extensive bleaching in native scleractinians that harbor Symbiodinium, and should be taken into account during management efforts.

Multiple introductions and secondary dispersion of Tubastraea spp. in the Southwestern Atlantic
K. C. C. Capel,K. C. C. Capel,Joel C. Creed,Marcelo V. Kitahara,Marcelo V. Kitahara,Chia-Ying Chen,Carla Zilberberg +6 more
TL;DR: Clonality, secondary introductions, and multiple invasions are the main reasons for the broad spread and invasive success of Tubastraea spp.
