These data are from the field experiment conducted to determine the effects of Ceraesignum (Dendropoma) maximum on coral growth and survival. Dataset Description: <p>Researchers examined the effects of vermetids on the growth and survival of three species of coral in&nbsp; Moorea, French Polynesia as well as the relationship between the proportion of dead coral and the number of vermetids.</p>

</ul> Methods and Sampling: <p>Between June 2-10, 2006, six experiments were set up to quantify the effects of vermetids on skeletal growth and survival. The four focal species were: <em>Porites lobata</em>, <em>Porites rus</em>, <em>Pocillopora</em> and <em>Montipora</em>, which were at a site in the Maharepa lagoon (inshore) and two species (<em>Porites lobata</em> and Pocillopora) at another site (West Temae or toe). Corals were attached to plastic bases and weighed using the bouyant method (Davies 1989) and then placed onto to the reefs in triplicate.</p>
<p>Reefs where corals were placed had local vermetid densities (n=12). Half of the reefs were then used as experimental reefs and vermetids were removed. Focal corals were collected after 47 days and re-weighed to assess growth. After weighing, corals were returned to the experimental reefs. After 217-255 days on 13 January 2007, the proportion of coral surface area that was alive was estimated.</p>

Spatial patterns of coral-vermetid interactions: short-term effects and long-term consequences

Spatial patterns of coral-vermetid interactions: short-term effects and long-term consequences
<p><em>Description from NSF abstract:</em><br />
Ecological surprises are most likely to be manifest in diverse communities where many interactions remain uninvestigated. Coral reefs harbor much of the world's biodiversity, and recent studies by the investigators suggest that one overlooked, but potentially important, biological interaction involves vermetid gastropods. Vermetid gastropods are nonmobile, tube-building snails that feed via an extensive mucus net. Vermetids reduce coral growth by up to 80%, and coral survival by as much as 60%. Because effects vary among coral taxa, vermetids may substantially alter the structure of coral communities as well as the community of fishes and invertebrates that inhabit the coral reef.</p>
<p>The investigators will conduct a suite of experimental and observational studies that: 1) quantify the effects of four species of vermetids across coral species to assess if species effects and responses are concordant or idiosyncratic; 2) use meta-analysis to compare effects of vermetids relative to other coral stressors and determine the factors that influence variation in coral responses; 3) determine the role of coral commensals that inhabit the branching coral, Pocillopora, and evaluate how the development of the commensal assemblage modifies the deleterious effects of vermetids; 4) determine how vermetid mucus nets affect the local environment of corals and evaluate several hypotheses about proposed mechanisms; and 5) assess the long-term implications of vermetids on coral communities and the fishes and invertebrates that depend on the coral.</p>
