Seawater carbonate chemistry and coral-coral competition
As carbon dioxide (CO2) levels increase, coral reefs and other marine systems will be affected by the joint stressors of ocean acidification (OA) and warming. The effects of... -
Gene family evolution of Caribbean coral
Gene family complexity and its influence of expression dynamics has long been theorized to be an important source of adaptation in natural systems through providing novel... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and calcification conditions and calcification r...
Ocean acidification is expected to negatively impact calcifying organisms, yet we lack understanding of their acclimation potential in the natural environment. Here we measured... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and survival, calcification rate of 4 species of...
We conducted a 93-day experiment investigating the independent and combined effects of acidification (280−3300 µatm pCO2) and warming (28°C and 31°C) on calcification and linear... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and calcification, survival, concentrations of S...
Coral calcification is expected to decline as atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration increases. We assessed the potential of Porites astreoides, Siderastrea siderea and... -
Environmental and chemical measurements, and coral calcification rates in Ber...
Modern reef-building corals sustain a wide range of ecosystem services because of their ability to build calcium carbonate reef systems. The influence of environmental variables... -
Species-specific responses to climate change and community composition determ...
Anthropogenic climate change compromises reef growth as a result of increasing temperatures and ocean acidification. Scleractinian corals vary in their sensitivity to these... -
Acclimatization to high-variance habitats does not enhance physiological tole...
Corals are acclimatized to populate dynamic habitats that neighbour coral reefs. Habitats such as seagrass beds exhibit broad diel changes in temperature and pH that routinely... -
Reduced calcification and lack of acclimatization by coral colonies growing i...
As the surface ocean equilibrates with rising atmospheric CO2, the pH of surface seawater is decreasing with potentially negative impacts on coral calcification. A critical... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and weight of two Atlantic corals Favia fragum a...
Rising concentrations of atmospheric CO2 are changing the carbonate chemistry of the oceans, a process known as ocean acidification (OA). Absorption of this CO2 by the surface... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry, larval settlement and growth rate during experi...
In response to the increases in pCO2 projected in the 21st century, adult coral growth and calcification are expected to decrease significantly. However, no published studies... -
Coral holobiont Transcriptome or Gene expression
The study's primary objective was to determine the immune responses of corals to infection. We use 4 Caribbean corals (Orbicella faveolata, Porites astreoides, Porites porites... -
Gene expression response of Porites astreoides larval families to sublethal h...
Larvae from different maternal colonies originating from an inshore and an offshore reef in the Lower Florida Keys, USA were subjected to 4 days of sublethal heat stress (32C)... -
2bRAD sequences of Porites astreoides
Samples of the scleractinian coral species, Porites astreoides, were collected from five sites in southeast Florida from Martin County through Broward County, and 2bRAD... -
Environmental drivers of genetic adaptation in two coral species from Florida
In this study, we aimed to identify environmental gradients that drive the most genetic specialization in corals from the Florida Keys. Using 2bRAD sequencing, we developed a... -
