Effect of light and temperature on calcification and strontium uptake in the scleractinian coral Acropora verweyi
Strontium thermometry has been suggested as a powerful tool for reconstructing seawater surface temperature (SST). In corals, an inverse relationship between SST and skeletal Sr/Ca ratios has been found. However, this ratio might also vary with calcification, which in turn is dependent on light and temperature. The aim of this study was to improve our knowledge of the uptake of Sr2+ as a functi...
متن کاملIdentification of Fast-Evolving Genes in the Scleractinian Coral Acropora Using Comparative EST Analysis
To identify fast-evolving genes in reef-building corals, we performed direct comparative sequence analysis with expressed sequence tag (EST) datasets from two acroporid species: Acropora palmata from the Caribbean Sea and A. millepora from the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. Comparison of 589 independent sequences from 1,421 A. palmata contigs, with 10,247 A. millepora contigs resulted in the ...
متن کاملWhich Environmental Factors Predict Seasonal Variation in the Coral Health of Acropora digitifera and Acropora spicifera at Ningaloo Reef?
The impact of physico-chemical factors on percent coral cover and coral health was examined on a spatial basis for two dominant Acropora species, A. digitifera and A. spicifera, at Ningaloo Reef (north-western Australia) in the southeast Indian Ocean. Coral health was investigated by measuring metabolic indices (RNA/DNA ratio and protein concentration), energy levels (lipid ratio) and autotroph...
متن کاملSperm motility of the scleractinian coral Acropora digitifera under preindustrial, current, and predicted ocean acidification regimes
Ocean acidification caused by the uptake of anthropogenic CO2 in the oceans negatively affects the early life stages of corals by reducing their calcification rate. Acidification also inhibits the sperm motility of corals, potentially affecting fertilization success. We investigated the effects of different pCO2 (partial pressure of CO2) conditions on the sperm motility of Acropora digitifera. ...
متن کاملDevelopment and heat stress-induced transcriptomic changes during embryogenesis of the scleractinian coral Acropora palmata.
Projected elevation of seawater temperatures poses a threat to the reproductive success of Caribbean reef-building corals that have planktonic development during the warmest months of the year. This study examined the transcriptomic changes that occurred during embryonic and larval development of the elkhorn coral, Acropora palmata, at a non-stressful temperature (28°C) and further assessed the...
