Growth and population dynamics model of the Mediterranean solitary coral Balanophyllia europaea (Scleractinia, Dendrophylliidae)
Complex life history processes of corals, such as fission, fusion, and partial mortality of colonies, that decouple coral age from size, are rare or clearly detectable in corals that produce distinct colonial or solitary forms. In some of these corals, individual age may be determined from size, and standard age-based growth and population dynamics models may be applied. We determined populatio...
متن کاملReproductive output of a non-zooxanthellate temperate coral is unaffected by temperature along an extended latitudinal gradient
Global environmental change, in marine ecosystems, is associated with concurrent shifts in water temperature, circulation, stratification, and nutrient input, with potentially wide-ranging biological effects. Variations in seawater temperature might alter physiological functioning, reproductive efficiency, and demographic traits of marine organisms, leading to shifts in population size and abun...
متن کاملThe effects of a coral disease on the reproductive output of Montastraea faveolata (Scleractinia: Faviidae).
The direct impacts of coral diseases on coral populations have been assessed by quantifying coral tissue loss and colony mortality, but the determination of the indirect effects of diseases, such as disruptions in life history functions (e.g. reproduction, growth and maintenance), are more difficult to ascertain and have been scant. This study involved a comparison of various measures of reprod...
متن کاملOverview of the taxonomy of zooxanthellate Scleractinia
Coral taxonomy has entered a historical phase where nomenclatorial uncertainty is rapidly increasing. The fundamental cause is mandatory adherence to historical monographs that lack essential information of all sorts, and also to type specimens, if they exist at all, that are commonly unrecognizable fragments or are uncharacteristic of the species they are believed to represent. Historical prob...
