Reversing coral reef decline requires reducing environmental threats while actively restoring ecological structure and function. A promising restoration approach uses breeding to boost natural recruitment repopulate reefs with genetically diverse communities. Recent advances in predicting spawning, capturing spawn, culturing larvae, rearing settlers have enabled the successful propagation, settlement, outplanting of offspring all world's major regions. Nevertheless, efforts frequently yield...
Ocean acidification (OA) refers to the ongoing decline in oceanic pH resulting from uptake of atmospheric CO 2 . Mounting experimental evidence suggests that OA will have negative consequences for a variety marine organisms. Whereas effect on calcification adult reef corals is increasingly well documented, effects early life history stages are largely unknown. Coral recruitment, which necessitates successful fertilization, larval settlement, and postsettlement growth survivorship, critical...
Ocean acidification (OA) refers to the increase in acidity (decrease pH) of ocean's surface waters resulting from oceanic uptake atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). Mounting experimental evidence suggests that OA threatens numerous marine organisms, including reef-building corals. Coral recruitment is critical persistence and resilience coral reefs regulated by several early life processes, including: larval availability (gamete production, fertilization, etc.), settlement, postsettlement...
Abstract. Ocean acidification is projected to shift coral reefs from a state of net accretion one dissolution this century. Presently, our ability predict global-scale changes reef calcification limited by insufficient data relating seawater carbonate chemistry parameters in situ rates calcification. Here, we investigate diel and seasonal trends the Davies Reef flat central Great Barrier relate these benthic carbon fluxes quantifying ecosystem (nec) community production (ncp). Results show...
Worldwide, coral reef ecosystems are experiencing increasing pressure from a variety of anthropogenic perturbations including ocean warming and acidification, increased sedimentation, eutrophication, overfishing, which could shift reefs to condition net calcium carbonate (CaCO3) dissolution erosion. Herein, we determine the calcification potential relative balance organic carbon metabolism (net community production; NCP) inorganic calcification; NCC) within 23 locations across globe. In...
Abstract Global carbon emissions continue to acidify the oceans, motivating growing concern for ability of coral reefs maintain net positive calcification rates. Efforts develop robust relationships between reef and carbonate parameters such as aragonite saturation state (Ω arag ) aim facilitate meaningful predictions how will change in face ocean acidification. Here we investigate natural trends chemistry a flat over diel cycles relate these benthic fluxes by quantifying community...
Coral reefs provide ecosystem benefits to millions of people but are threatened by rapid environmental change and ever-increasing human pressures. Restoration is becoming a priority strategy for coral reef conservation, yet implementation remains challenging it increasingly apparent that indirect conservation restoration approaches will not ensure the long-term sustainability reefs. The important role conditions in practice currently undervalued, carrying substantial implications success....
Ocean acidification (OA) is a relatively young yet rapidly developing scientific field. Assessing the potential response(s) of marine organisms to projected near-future OA scenarios has been at forefront research, with focus on ecosystems (e.g., coral reefs) and processes calcification) that are deemed particularly vulnerable. Recently, heightened emphasis placed evaluating early life history stages as these generally perceived be more sensitive environmental change. The number...
Increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide (pCO2) are projected to contribute a 1.1–6.4°C rise global average surface temperatures and 0.14–0.35 reduction the pH of ocean by 2100. If realized, these changes expected have negative consequences for reef-building corals including increased frequency severity coral bleaching reduced rates calcification reef accretion. Much less is known regarding independent combined effects temperature pCO2 on critical early life history processes such as...

Coral reefs are marine biodiversity hotspots, but their existence is threatened by global change and local pressures such as land-runoff overfishing.

In many animals, the germline differentiates early in embryogenesis, so only mutations that accumulate germ cells are inherited by offspring. Exceptions to this developmental process may indicate other mechanisms have evolved limit effects of deleterious mutation accumulation. Stony corals animals can live for hundreds years and been thought produce gametes from somatic tissue. To clarify conflicting evidence about germline-soma distinction corals, we sequenced high coverage, full genomes...
<strong class="journal-contentHeaderColor">Abstract.</strong> This chapter focuses on considerations for conducting open-system field experiments in the context of ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) research. By real-world marine and coastal systems, researchers can gain valuable insights into ecological dynamics; biogeochemical cycles; safety, efficacy, scalability OAE techniques under natural conditions. However, logistical constraints complex dynamics pose challenges. To date, only a...
Compiled abundances of juvenile corals revealed no change over time in the Pacific, but a decline Caribbean. Using these analyses as rationale, we explored recruitment and post-settlement success determining coral cover using studies Caribbean (St John, Bonaire) Pacific (Moorea, Okinawa). Juvenile corals, recruits, have been censused locations for years, ratio (J) to recruiting (R) was used measure success. In St John Bonaire, stable different between studies, with density juveniles recruits...
Abstract Ion‐sensitive field effect transistor‐based pH sensors have been shown to perform well in high frequency and long‐term ocean sampling regimes. The Honeywell Durafet is widely used due its stability, fast response, characterization over a large range of oceanic conditions. However, potentiometric monitoring inherently complicated by the fact that require careful calibration. Offsets calibration coefficients observed when comparing laboratory field‐based calibrations prior work has...
