Our research conducted through the MCR LTER project aims at defining the population structure of Symbiodinium present in the corals of Moorea and documenting changes over time.Moorea Coral Reef LTERRuthGatesMoorea Coral Reef Lterruthgates
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 ...
Firstly, the coral-population models were particularly sensitive to the intensity of temperature anomalies (ε). Coral bleaching occurs during the most severe thermal-stress events10when summer temperatures are exacerbated by climatic phenomenon, particularly El Niño events; although recently, thermal-st...
This population “crash’ was blamed by some researchers as the primary cause of the noticeable decline of live coral cover that occurred in the Greater Caribbean region during the same period. However, a number of other factors have also been proposed that may have caused or contributed to ...
Supporting this hypothesis, metagenomic surveys of sponge-associated viruses revealed a more diverse viral population than what could be recovered from the surrounding seawater [63]. Further, we found that genes encoding toxin-antitoxin systems, which are present on MGEs, such as plasmids, were ...
I: Population structure of snails and corals and Acropora palmata, in the Florida Keys. In each of two survey years, around 50% of the Montastraea spp. colonies were infested, with a mean snail... IB Baums,MAM Szmant - 《Marine Biology》 被引量: 69发表: 2003年 Storm-generated coral ...
Although NTRs had little discernible effect on the temporal dynamics of benthic or fish communities, it was evident that the post-disturbance refuges for coral trout spawning stocks within some NTRs may be critically important to regional-scale population persistence and recovery. 展开 ...
This restriction may have been set forth to preserve the bait supply and longterm population of octopus. Palau coral reef (PC: Brian Zgliczynski) In Palau, and other islands around the globe, these conservation ethics have been successful in protecting reefs. Scientist, Joshua Cinner et al. ...
Since the mid-1950s, population outbreaks at densities four to six times greater than normal have occurred at the same time in places such as Hawaii, Tahiti, Panama, and the Great Barrier Reef. The result has often been the loss of a fifty percent to nearly one hundred percent of the ...
cash when agricultural production is low, with the peak in fisheries production coinciding with the period of lowest agricultural stocks. In Papua New Guinea, while agriculture is the primary means of food production, a large proportion of the coastal population engage in sporadic subsistence fishing...
