    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; population genetics; corals; Kenya; Tanzania; Functional Zoomorphology; funktionell morfologi;

    Abstract : The work presented in this thesis is a study of the spatial genetic structure of two species of scleractinian corals, Pocillopora damicornis and Platygyra daedalea. The overall objective was to investigate the current capacity of MPAs to preserve and restore coral reefs and to contribute information to improve management decisions. READ MORE

  6. 4. Molecular and crystallographic aspects of some terpenoids from soft corals

    Author : Rolf Karlsson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The crystal structures and absolute configurations of five terpenoids:africanol, lemnacamol, capnellenetriol, sinulariolideand lobophytolide, all isolated from soft corals, have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Aspects of structure determination, conformation, absolute configuration determination and molecular association are given. READ MORE
