While scleractinian coral populations continue to diminish throughout the Caribbean, gorgonian corals are showing signs of resilience and in some areas are thriving. Despite their prominence on reefs, gorgonian species are notoriously difficult to field identify and as such have been underrepresented in most monitoring efforts. However, with reports of increased resistance to elevated temperatures, ocean acidification, and nutrient enrichment, there is now a growing interest in the ecological and physiological mechanisms that contribute to their success in changing environmental conditions. Here, we compile widely scattered taxonomical, biological, and ecological research on shallow-water symbiotic gorgonians in the wider Caribbean into a comprehensive resource document that can be used by researchers and managers to inform and promote future studies. Each section provides a brief summary of past research, accessible bibliography, and suggestions for future work.

对西大西洋和​​加勒比地区共生柳珊瑚研究的回顾以及对未来工作的建议

虽然整个加勒比地区的石珊瑚种群继续减少,但柳珊瑚显示出恢复能力的迹象,并且在某些地区正在蓬勃发展。尽管它们在珊瑚礁上很突出,但众所周知,柳珊瑚物种很难在现场识别,因此在大多数监测工作中代表性不足。然而,随着对高温、海洋酸化和营养丰富的抵抗力增加的报道,现在人们对有助于它们成功改变环境条件的生态和生理机制越来越感兴趣。在这里,我们汇编了广泛分散的分类学、生物学、和对大加勒比地区浅水共生柳珊瑚的生态研究形成综合资源文件,研究人员和管理人员可以使用该文件为未来的研究提供信息和促进。每个部分都提供了过去研究的简要总结、可访问的参考书目以及对未来工作的建议。
