Acropora is one of the largest taxonomic groups of scleractinian corals in the Indo-Pacific and contributes towards the establishment of coral communities in the Ryukyu Islands....

This datasets consists of growth rates for coral fragments from the species Porites compressa and Montipora capitata in Kāneʻohe Bay, Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi, 2018. A reciprocal...

Anthropogenic climate change compromises reef growth as a result of increasing temperatures and ocean acidification. Scleractinian corals vary in their sensitivity to these...

Oceans are predicted to become more acidic and experience more temperature variability-both hot and cold-as climate changes. Ocean acidification negatively impacts reef-building...

Ocean acidification (OA) is predicted to reduce reef coral calcification rates and threaten the long-term growth of coral reefs under climate change. Reduced coral growth at...

Estimates of heritability inform evolutionary potential and the likely outcome of many management actions, but such estimates remain scarce for marine organisms. Here, we report...

Coral reefs are susceptible to climate change, anthropogenic influence, and environmental stressors. However, corals in Kāneʻohe Bay, Hawaiʻi have repeatedly shown resilience...

The ability of coral populations to recover from disturbance depends on larval dispersion and recruitment. While ocean warming and acidification effects on adult corals are well...

Global change driven by anthropogenic carbon emissions is altering ecosystems at unprecedented rates, especially coral reefs, whose symbiosis with algal symbionts is...

The absorbtion of human-emitted CO2 by the oceans (elevated PCO2) is projected to alter the physiological performance of coral reef organisms by perturbing seawater chemistry...

Colonies of P. chilensis were sampled via self-contained underwater breathing apparatus (SCUBA) diving on 14th and 15th of May 2019 at two different sites in Comau fjord. At...

To determine behavioural stress, polyp activity states of Primnoella chilensis colonies were observed for 21 hours after eleven days under turbid seawater exposure in an...

To determine behavioural stress, polyp activity states of Primnoella chilensis colonies were observed for 21 hours after eleven days under turbid seawater exposure in an...

Anthropogenic increases in atmospheric CO2 over this century are predicted to cause global average surface ocean pH to decline by 0.1–0.3 pH units and sea surface temperature to...

Atmospheric pCO2 is predicted to rise from 400 to 900 ppm by year 2100, causing seawater temperature to increase by 1-4 °C and pH to decrease by 0.1-0.3. Sixty-day experiments...

In order to allow full comparability with other ocean acidification data sets, the R package seacarb (Lavigne and Gattuso, 2011) was used to compute a complete and consistent...
