Pocillopora acuta
- Nutrient and sediment loading affect multiple facets of functionality in a tropical branching coral
Summary: Nutrient and sediment loading decreased thermal performance and increased endosymbiont competition in the branching coral Pocillopora acuta, with elevated sites having lower percent cover in Mo′orea, French Polynesia.
- Evaluation of laser scanning confocal microscopy as a method for characterizing reef-building coral tissue thickness and Symbiodiniaceae fluorescence
Summary: Description and evaluation of the utility of laser scanning confocal microscopy to measure physiological condition (Symbiodiniaceae fluorescence and tissue thickness) in reef-building corals.
