larvae release data from coral colonies collected and retained in lab. Dataset Description: <p>These data describe the number of brooded larvae released from colonies of two species of corals (<em>Pocillopora damicornis</em>, <em>Seriatopora hystrix</em>) freshly collected and retained in the lab at the National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium in Taiwan, as part of a study that describes the effects of temperature on the respiration of brooded larvae of scleractinian corals, and evaluates the implications of these effects relative to seawater temperature when peak larval release occurs.</p>

</ul> Methods and Sampling: <p>The number of larvae released daily was recorded for <em>Pocillopora damicornis</em> and <em>Seriatopora hystrix</em> retained in aquaria for month-long periods spanning multiple lunar phases in up to 5 years between 2003 and 2008. For each sampling, colonies were collected monthly from ~6m depth in Nanwan Bay and returned to the National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium in Taiwan where they were placed into larval collection apparatus. Corals were replaced monthly to ensure that the laboratory measurement of larval release reflected larval release in situ, and to avoid acclimatization to laboratory conditions. Larvae were collected daily from each coral, pooled within species, and counted to evaluate larval release by day throughout each lunar month. Seawater temperature on the day of larval release was assessed from records obtained from thermisters placed at 5m depth in Nanwan Bay.&nbsp; The hourly values were averaged by day to describe the seawater temperature on the day of larval release.</p>
<p>The cumulative number of larvae released daily by <em>P. damicornis</em> and <em>S. hystrix</em> was expressed as a function of the daily seawater temperature on the day of release. Temperature was partitioned in 0.5 degree Celsius increments.</p>

adapted from http://www.lternet.edu/
The National Science Foundation established the LTER program in 1980 to support research on long-term ecological phenomena in the United States. The Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) Network is a collaborative effort involving more than 1800 scientists and students investigating ecological processes over long temporal and broad spatial scales. The LTER Network promotes synthesis and comparative research across sites and ecosystems and among other related national and international research programs. The LTER research sites represent diverse ecosystems with emphasis on different research themes, and cross-site communication, network publications, and research-planning activities are coordinated through the LTER Network Office.

Moorea Coral Reef Long-Term Ecological Research site

Moorea Coral Reef Long-Term Ecological Research site
<p><strong>NSF Award Abstract: </strong></p>
<p>Coral reefs provide important benefits to society, from food to exceptional biodiversity to shoreline protection and recreation, but they are threatened by natural perturbations and human activities, including those causing global-scale changes. These pressures increasingly are causing coral reefs to undergo large, often abrupt, ecological changes where corals are being replaced by seaweeds or other undesirable organisms. Historically, the major agent of disturbance to coral reefs has been powerful storms, but in recent decades, episodes of mass coral bleaching from marine heat waves have become more frequent and severe as the temperature of ocean surface waters continues to rise. Coral reefs are further stressed by local human activities that cause nutrient pollution and deplete herbivorous fishes that control growth of seaweeds. Studying how coral reefs respond to these two types of disturbance under different levels of nutrient pollution and fishing provides essential information on what affects the ability of coral reefs to buffer environmental change and disturbances without collapsing to a persistent, degraded condition. The fundamental goals of the Moorea Coral Reef Long Term Ecological Research program (MCR LTER) are to understand how and why coral reefs change over time, to assess the consequences of these changes, and to contribute scientific knowledge needed to sustain coral reef ecosystems and the important societal services they provide. This research improves understanding and management of coral reefs, which benefits all groups concerned with the welfare of this ecologically, economically and culturally important ecosystem. In addition to academic communities, scientific findings are communicated to interested individuals, non-governmental organizations, island communities and governmental entities. These findings also are integrated into K-12, undergraduate, graduate and public education activities through a multi-pronged program that includes inquiry-based curricula, interactive and media-based public education programs, and internet-based resources. MCR?s research, training, education and outreach efforts all emphasize broadening participation in STEM fields and strengthening STEM literacy.</p>
<p>New research activities build on MCR LTER?s powerful foundation of long-term observations and broad ecological understanding of oceanic coral reefs to address the following core issues: How is the changing disturbance regime (recurrent heat waves in addition to cyclonic storms) altering the resilience of coral reefs, and what are the ecological consequences of altered resilience? Research activities are organized around a unifying framework that explicitly addresses how reef communities are affected by the nature and history of coral-killing disturbances, and how those responses to disturbance are influenced by the pattern of local human stressors. New studies answer three focal questions: (1) How do different disturbance types, which either remove (storms) or retain (heat waves) dead coral skeletons, affect community dynamics, abrupt changes in ecological state, and resilience? (2) How do local stressors interact with new disturbance regimes to create spatial heterogeneity in community dynamics, ecosystem processes, and spatial resilience? And (3) What attributes of coral and coral reef communities influence their capacity to remain resilient under current and future environmental conditions? These questions provide an unparalleled opportunity to test hypotheses and advance theory regarding ecological resilience and the causes and consequences of abrupt ecological change, which is broadly relevant across aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems.</p>
<p>This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.</p>

The Moorea Coral Reef LTER site encompasses the coral reef complex that surrounds the island of Moorea, French Polynesia (17°30'S, 149°50'W). Moorea is a small, triangular volcanic island 20 km west of Tahiti in the Society Islands of French Polynesia. An offshore barrier reef forms a system of shallow (mean depth ~ 5-7 m), narrow (~0.8-1.5 km wide) lagoons around the 60 km perimeter of Moorea. All major coral reef types (e.g., fringing reef, lagoon patch reefs, back reef, barrier reef and fore reef) are present and accessible by small boat.</p>
<p>The MCR LTER was established in 2004 by the US National Science Foundation (NSF) and is a partnership between the University of California Santa Barbara and California State University, Northridge. MCR researchers include marine scientists from the UC Santa Barbara, CSU Northridge, UC Davis, UC Santa Cruz, UC San Diego, CSU San Marcos, Duke University and the University of Hawaii. Field operations are conducted from the UC Berkeley Richard B. Gump South Pacific Research Station on the island of Moorea, French Polynesia.</p>

The ecophysiological basis of the response of coral larvae and early life history stages to global climate change
https://osprey.bco-dmo.org/project/2235
The ecophysiological basis of the response of coral larvae and early life history stages to global climate change
<p><span style="font-size:13px">Tropical coral reefs face a suite of environmental assaults ranging from anchor damage to the effects of global climate change (GCC). The consequences are evident throughout the tropics, where many coral reefs have lost a substantial fraction of their coral cover in a few decades. Notwithstanding the importance of reducing the impacts of environmental stresses, the only means by which these ecosystems can recover (or simply persist) is through the recruitment of scleractinians, which is a function of successful larval development, delivery, settlement, metamorphosis, and post-settlement events. Despite wide recognition of the importance of these processes, there are few pertinent empirical data, and virtually none that address the mechanisms mediating the success of early coral life stages in a physical environmental varying at multiple spatio-temporal scales.</span></p>
<p>The objective of this research is to complete one of the first comprehensive ecophysiological analyses of the early life stages of corals through a description of: (1) their functionality under 'normal' conditions, and (2) their response to the main drivers of GCC. These analyses will be completed for 2 species representative of a brooding life history strategy, and the experiments will be completed in two locations, one (Taiwan) that provides unrivalled experience in coral reproductive biology, and superb microcosm facilities, and the other (Moorea), with access to a relatively pristine environment, a well described ecological and oceanographic context (through the MCR-LTER), and the capacity to bring a strong biogeographic contrast to the project. The results of the study will be integrated through modeling to explore the effects of GCC on coral community structure over the next century.</p>

<p>The number of larvae released daily was recorded for <em>Pocillopora damicornis</em> and <em>Seriatopora hystrix</em> retained in aquaria for month-long periods spanning multiple lunar phases in up to 5 years between 2003 and 2008. For each sampling, colonies were collected monthly from ~6m depth in Nanwan Bay and returned to the National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium in Taiwan where they were placed into larval collection apparatus. Corals were replaced monthly to ensure that the laboratory measurement of larval release reflected larval release in situ, and to avoid acclimatization to laboratory conditions. Larvae were collected daily from each coral, pooled within species, and counted to evaluate larval release by day throughout each lunar month. Seawater temperature on the day of larval release was assessed from records obtained from thermisters placed at 5m depth in Nanwan Bay.&nbsp; The hourly values were averaged by day to describe the seawater temperature on the day of larval release.</p>
<p>The cumulative number of larvae released daily by <em>P. damicornis</em> and <em>S. hystrix</em> was expressed as a function of the daily seawater temperature on the day of release. Temperature was partitioned in 0.5 degree Celsius increments.</p>
