        <gco:CharacterString>Metadata used for developing model for transmission of the sponge disease Aplysina Red Band Syndrome. Dataset Description: &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;See related publication: Easson et al. (2013)&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; Methods and Sampling: &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Collection of data:&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
Data were generated from repeated 100 m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; quadrats on two patch reefs in the Exuma Cays, Bahamas (Big Point, Rainbow Gardens) and two reefs near Carrie Bow Cay, Belize (Patch reef 1, Patch reef 2). Reefs are all in 5 m water depth. In Bahamas, the Big Point quadrat was surveyed 8 times (May 2009, May 2010, May/July/September 2011, June 2012, August 2013, July 2014) and the Rainbow Gardens quadrat was surveyed 6 times (May 2010, July/September 2011, June 2012, August 2013, July 2014). This sampling schedule spans the interval during which Hurricane Irene (Category 3) impacted these reefs in the Bahamas on 27 August 2011 (Easson et al. 2013). In Belize, quadrats on both reefs were surveyed twice (May 2012, June 2013).&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;During each survey, the entire quadrat was photographed in 1 m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;, and every individual &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;Aplysina cauliformis &amp;lt;/em&amp;gt;sponge was marked on an underwater map and total length was measured to the nearest cm. Whether the sponge was healthy or infected by &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;Aplysina &amp;lt;/em&amp;gt;Red Band Syndrome was also recorded.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;</gco:CharacterString>

                            <gco:CharacterString>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Description from NSF award abstract:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Diseases of marine invertebrates have been shown to be primary causes of the accelerating destruction of Caribbean coral reef systems. Diseases affecting natural populations threaten biodiversity, resilience and the ecological balance of communities, as well as the ecosystem services they provide. To date, most studies of diseases on reefs have focused on corals, however, reports of sponge diseases have also increased across the globe. On Caribbean reefs, sponges are often a dominant component of the reef biomass,and thus play an important role in the ecology of these ecosystems. The most well described disease affecting Caribbean sponges is Aplysina Red Band Syndrome (ARBS), which affects sponges of the genus Aplysina, resulting in reduced growth, tissue necrosis and breakage at the site of the lesion, particularly during storm events. Understanding how diseases emerge and are transmitted within marine ecosystems is critical for maintaining a healthy level of biodiversity, particularly if we are to gain any predictive power in a rapidly-changing environment. Testing models of disease transmission using extensive field observations and laboratory analyses will contribute to a better understanding of disease processes and developing a transmission model for ARBS requires detailed knowledge about the pathogen-host interaction and pathogen reservoirs in the environment. While a large body of information regarding the ecology and physiology of ARBS-infected sponges is available it is recognized that modeling the transmission dynamics requires a more focused and collaborative approach. This project will develop and test a model of marine disease processes that includes the role of polymicrobial infections, sources and sinks of the pathogen(s), and the ontogeny of this disease within a model host sponge species (&lt;em&gt;Aplysina cauliformis&lt;/em&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This novel approach is a high-risk venture (i.e., a timely idea lacking requisite results) with high pay-off potential (i.e., the results will fundamentally enhance our understanding of disease transmission within marine sponges). In this respect, the proposal is appropriate for EAGER funding. The principal investigators will use modern techniques such as high throughput sequencing and incorporate these approaches as a new tools in their laboratories as well as in their undergraduate and graduate courses. Graduate and undergraduate students will also be provided with multidisciplinary hands-on research experiences and will participate in sponge disease surveys to test the newly developed transmission model. Public seminars will be presented to discuss the implications of marine diseases coral reefs and to highlight the potential utility of disease models for the effective management of marine resources. Results from the proposed research will further our knowledge of disease transmission dynamics and enhance our understanding of the role of diseases in the ecology of coral reef ecosystems.&lt;/p&gt;

                <gco:CharacterString>&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Collection of data:&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
Data were generated from repeated 100 m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; quadrats on two patch reefs in the Exuma Cays, Bahamas (Big Point, Rainbow Gardens) and two reefs near Carrie Bow Cay, Belize (Patch reef 1, Patch reef 2). Reefs are all in 5 m water depth. In Bahamas, the Big Point quadrat was surveyed 8 times (May 2009, May 2010, May/July/September 2011, June 2012, August 2013, July 2014) and the Rainbow Gardens quadrat was surveyed 6 times (May 2010, July/September 2011, June 2012, August 2013, July 2014). This sampling schedule spans the interval during which Hurricane Irene (Category 3) impacted these reefs in the Bahamas on 27 August 2011 (Easson et al. 2013). In Belize, quadrats on both reefs were surveyed twice (May 2012, June 2013).&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;During each survey, the entire quadrat was photographed in 1 m&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;, and every individual &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;Aplysina cauliformis &amp;lt;/em&amp;gt;sponge was marked on an underwater map and total length was measured to the nearest cm. Whether the sponge was healthy or infected by &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;Aplysina &amp;lt;/em&amp;gt;Red Band Syndrome was also recorded.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;</gco:CharacterString>

Each sponge was georeferenced onto a map generated from the quadrat images in ArcGIS to create a shapefile in which each sponge’s location, size, number of branches and health status were recorded. For each quadrat at each point in time, the numbers of contacts between healthy-healthy, healthy-diseased and diseased-diseased sponges were calculated based on sponge location, total length and number of branches (based on methods in Easson et al. 2013). Percent of disease transmission was calculated as the percent of all sponge contacts that were between two diseased sponges.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;
