Hi everyone,
I wanted to ask if there is a universal guide or glossary list of terms
appropriate to use when describing coral histology and ultrastructure.
Thanks to a colleague, I realized that there are multiple terms for the
same type of tissues. E.g. the literature uses the terms "coenosarc" as
well as "coenenchyme" for the connecting tissue between individual
polyps. A guide from the Coral Disease and Health Workshop: Coral
histopathology II (2005) provides a nice overview about a number of
terms (http://aquaticcommons.org/2236/1/rpt_full.pdf) and I am tempted
to use them. Is there a standard reference for the naming of specific
coral tissues? Thanks.
All the best,
Thomas
