Studies on the distribution and photosynthetic chloroplast pigments of symbiotic zooxanthellae in the reef-building coral Montastrea annularis Ellis and Solander strongly suggest that photoadaptation to decreasing light intensity occurs within a population inhabiting the fore-reef of a West Indian (Jamaican...
First, a Local Polynomial Regression (LOESS) smooth regression was fitted to view relationships between shelter volume and the three metrics previously computed (i.e. diameter, planar area, colony surface) without assumptions about the distribution or linearity of the data. Then, all data were log...
the dominant type,and patch reef also can be seen.There are 16 parts of coral reefs in the sea west of Xuwen County,with a total length of about 37.5 km and a total area of 30.1 km~(2).In recent years the coral is keeping died and the reefs are decreasing because of the ...

Worldwide blooms of the green alga Trichosolen have been reported on damaged coral reefs following catastrophic events. However, the global distribution of Trichosolen and the factors triggering such blooms remained elusive because of a paucity of occurrence records. This study presents a presence-only...
The project team deployed solar-powered buoys on the sea surface, under which underwater sensors were hung at different depths to measure environmental data, including weather conditions, water quality and nutrients, and the population distribution and behavior of marine life. The data is sent in ...

These diverse ecosystems extended further poleward in the geological past, but the mechanisms driving these past distributions remain uncertain. Here, we test the role of climate and palaeogeography in shaping the distribution of coral reefs over geological timescales. To do so, we combine habitat ...
Virtually all coral reef fishes undergo a profound transition from life as a Iarva adrift in the oceanic plankton to a settled existence closely associated with the coral reef structure. The importance of this transition for population d... BC Victor 被引量: 244发表: 1991年 ...
Symbiodinium physiology. The data highlight the importance of host tolerance to environmental stressors, which should be considered simultaneously with symbiont sensitivity when considering the impact of variations in environmental conditions on coral communities....
