[CDHC] announcing new paper by CDHC member

[Cheryl Woodley]

Hi CDHC List,
I came across a new paper from CDHC members and that I thought may be of 
interest.

I'd encourage any of you with new publications to post the citation and 
point of contact to the CDHC List.
Best Regards
Cheryl

    Previously undetected earlier phases of the coral disease
    'atramentous necrosis' are documented and described. New
    observations relating to the occurrence of initial stages and
    progression of the disease are reported, and potential cause(s) are
    examined. In direct contrast to earlier published findings,
    temperature data indicated that occurrence of early bleached stages
    of atramentous necrosis is not correlated with warmer water
    temperatures; however, the relationship between temperature and
    disease prevalence is still unclear.
