Dear Holger,
In addition to the Glynn et al. (1991, 1994, 1996, 2000) papers in Marine
Biology, the following thesis could be useful for your work in Panama:
Smith, D, 1991. The reproduction and recruitment of Porites panamensis
Verrill at Uva Island, Pacific Panama. Masters Thesis. University of Miami.
Miami, Florida.
Much of the Smith (1991) information is summarized in Glynn et al. 1994;
however, since the study pertains specifically to your area (Pacific
Panama), the detail in the thesis might be of use to you.
Suerte,
Bernadette Bezy
