Results from motility assays carried out as part of a study investigating the role of soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC) in sperm from the gonochoric, broadcast spawning coral Astrangia poculata
Abstract:
Most stony corals liberate their gametes into the water column via broadcast spawning, where fertilization hinges upon the activation of directional sperm motility. Sperm from gonochoric and hermaphroditic corals display distinct morphological and molecular phenotypes, yet it is unknown whether the signallng pathways controlling sperm motility are also distinct between these sexual systems. We addressed this knowledge gap using the gonochoric, broadcast spawning coral Astrangia poculata. This dataset results from motility assays carried out to analyze sperm motility. Data are associated with Glass et al. (2023) Proceedings of the Royal Society B (10.1098/rspb.2023.0085). These data are also published in Dryad under DOI 10.5061/dryad.rn8pk0pg8.
