        <gco:CharacterString>OA experiment: Nematostella fertilization Dataset Description: &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Data generated as part of a Nematostella ocean acidfication experiment published in Glass et al., 2023. (see Related Publications). Related Zenodo datasets provides further analysis and plotting of the BCO-DMO dataset here. (see Related Dataset).&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; Methods and Sampling: &amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;fieldset-wrapper&amp;quot;&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;em&amp;gt;Nematostella vectensis&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;(Stephenson, 1935) anemones were collected from a salt marsh in Brigantine, New Jersey in the fall of 2020. Females were identified by inducing spawning, and 14 individuals that released eggs were chosen as the genotype pool for this experiment. Each female was then horizontally bisected through the body column using a razor blade, resulting in two genotypically identical individuals that were divided between the two experimental groups (ambient and acidic).&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;A clonal male population, also originating from the United States Atlantic coast, was obtained from the laboratory of Dr. Katerina Ragkousi (Amherst College) in the spring of 2021. The male population size was increased via bisection, resulting in a total of 20 genetically identical males for the experiment (N=10 per treatment).&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;All anemones were kept in 12 parts per thousand (ppt) artificial seawater (ASW; Instant Ocean Reef Crystals&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;Ⓡ&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;reef salt, Spectrum Brands, Blacksburg, VA, USA) at pH 7.7–8.1 and 18°C. The animals were maintained in a dark incubator (Boekel Scientific, Feasterville-Trevose, PA, USA) and fed approximately every other day with Artemia nauplii. The experiment was performed approximately 1–1.5 years after animal collection.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;

Coral reefs are incredibly diverse ecosystems that provide food, tourism revenue, and shoreline protection for coastal communities. The ability of coral reefs to continue providing these services to society is currently threatened by climate change, which has led to increasing ocean temperatures and acidity that can lead to the death of corals, the animals that build the reef framework upon which so many species depend. This project examines how temperature and acidification stress work together to influence the future health and survival of corals. The scientists are carrying out the project in Hawaii where they have found individual corals with different sensitivities to temperature stress that are living on reefs with different environmental pH conditions. This project improves understanding of how an individual coral's history influences its response to multiple stressors and helps identify the conditions that are most likely to support resilient coral communities. The project will generate extensive biological and physicochemical data that will be made freely available. Furthermore, this project supports the education and training of undergraduate and high school students and one postdoctoral researcher in marine science and coral reef ecology. Hands-on activities for high school students are being developed into a free online educational resource.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This project compares coral responses to acidification stress in populations experiencing distinct pH dynamics (high diel variability vs. low diel variability) and with distinct thermal tolerances (historically bleaching sensitive vs. tolerant) to learn about how coral responses to these two factors differ between coral species and within populations. Experiments focus on the two dominant reef builders found at these stable and variable pH reefs: Montipora capitata and Porites compressa. Individuals of each species exhibiting different thermal sensitivities (i.e., bleached vs. pigmented) were tagged during the 2015 global coral bleaching event. This system tests the hypotheses that 1) corals living on reefs with larger diel pH fluctuations have greater resilience to acidification stress, 2) coral resilience to acidification is a plastic trait that can be promoted via acclimatization, and 3) thermally sensitive corals have reduced capacity to cope with pH stress, which is exacerbated at elevated temperatures. Coral cells isolated from colonies from each environmental and bleaching history are exposed to acute pH stress and examined for their ability to recover intracellular pH in vivo using confocal microscopy, and the expression level of proteins predicted to be involved in this recovery (e.g., proton transporters) is examined via Western blot and immunolocalization. Corals from each pH history are exposed to stable and variable seawater pH in a controlled aquarium setting to determine the level of plasticity of acidification resilience and to test for pH acclimatization in this system. Finally, corals with different levels of thermal sensitivity are exposed to thermal stress and recovery, and their ability to regulate pH is examined over time. The results of these experiments help identify reef conditions that promote coral resilience to ocean acidification against the background of increasingly common thermal stress events, while advancing mechanistic understanding of coral physiology and symbiosis.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;</gco:CharacterString>

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;em&amp;gt;Nematostella vectensis&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;(Stephenson, 1935) anemones were collected from a salt marsh in Brigantine, New Jersey in the fall of 2020. Females were identified by inducing spawning, and 14 individuals that released eggs were chosen as the genotype pool for this experiment. Each female was then horizontally bisected through the body column using a razor blade, resulting in two genotypically identical individuals that were divided between the two experimental groups (ambient and acidic).&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;A clonal male population, also originating from the United States Atlantic coast, was obtained from the laboratory of Dr. Katerina Ragkousi (Amherst College) in the spring of 2021. The male population size was increased via bisection, resulting in a total of 20 genetically identical males for the experiment (N=10 per treatment).&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;All anemones were kept in 12 parts per thousand (ppt) artificial seawater (ASW; Instant Ocean Reef Crystals&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;Ⓡ&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;reef salt, Spectrum Brands, Blacksburg, VA, USA) at pH 7.7–8.1 and 18°C. The animals were maintained in a dark incubator (Boekel Scientific, Feasterville-Trevose, PA, USA) and fed approximately every other day with Artemia nauplii. The experiment was performed approximately 1–1.5 years after animal collection.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

                <gco:CharacterString>&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Fertilization rates were quantified in weeks 2, 4, and 9. Sperm water was combined into a single pool per treatment and each pool was diluted to the same concentration, which differed between spawning dates. Each pool was then serially diluted 1:2 in 12 ppt ASW to obtain four different sperm concentrations. Egg bundles were separated into six-well plates, with 1–2 bundles per well, and 6 mL of sperm water from the corresponding experimental treatment was pipetted into each well, with three replicates per sperm concentration per treatment for a total of 12 wells per pH treatment. At 3 h post-fertilization (HPF), each well was photographed using a dissecting microscope with a camera attachment, and the number of fertilized and unfertilized eggs were counted manually. Fertilized eggs were identified by their conspicuous bumpy appearance, which is a result of initial cell divisions, whereas unfertilized eggs maintained a round shape. For each well, the percentage of fertilized eggs was calculated by dividing the number of fertilized eggs by the total number of eggs in the well.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;</gco:CharacterString>
