That sinking feeling: Suspended sediments can prevent the ascent of coral egg bundles

Spawning synchrony represents a common reproductive strategy in sessile marine organisms and for broadcast spawning corals, buoyancy of egg-sperm bundles is critical to maximise fertilisation at the ocean surface. Here we demonstrate a novel threat to coral reproduction whereby buoyant egg-sperm bundles intercept and are "ballasted" by sediment grains on their journey to the ocean surface, prev...
