Hi Juan:
Do you do experiments where you vary the pH of the ambient seawater and observe the effect on the corals calcification rate? These are the critical experiments in my mind. Some show a strong effect on coral calcification and others do not. There seems to be species differences in CO2 sensitivity but even within the same species and even the very same colony I can observe differing responses to reduced pH suggesting to me that there is physiological control on the chemistry of the calcifying fluid that corals can choose to exert or not depending on things. Perhaps they make energy allocation decisions.

I would like to bring to your attention a couple of papers that we have recently published that add to this discussion https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-02306-x<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.nature.com_articles_s41598-2D017-2D02306-2Dx&d=DwMFaQ&c=y2w-uYmhgFWijp_IQN0DhA&r=rfgiQklC3jO4kKwvXusj8V24nTIJGPVnN6zzyMmkk4w&m=dNNty4CgLBGy7qxLRgUWSVEleTFfdaPdbKcGalnImXQ&s=1558DmrpkxRcwOiRagAmk7O0yKTunoVM3Q9YD0l8CEA&e=> and https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms15686<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.nature.com_articles_ncomms15686&d=DwMFaQ&c=y2w-uYmhgFWijp_IQN0DhA&r=rfgiQklC3jO4kKwvXusj8V24nTIJGPVnN6zzyMmkk4w&m=dNNty4CgLBGy7qxLRgUWSVEleTFfdaPdbKcGalnImXQ&s=0Us-cCuVc-ifhMFq5xSBT6cnyHdB4faBm4-qQuSD18w&e=>. Our results; based mainly on B/Ca and d11B data; show that DIC, pH and aragonite saturation state are significantly elevated at the site of calcification, but that DIC and pH have strong seasonal but opposite variability, this helps the coral maintain elevated and relatively constant aragonite saturation conditions (to optimise calcification) in face of a seasonally variable DIC pool. Our results also show that up-regulation of pH and aragonite saturation (although affected) are maintained even during stress events. This indicates that (1) corals control pH and DIC (and arag sat) at the site of calcification and (2) that there is a minimum aragonite saturation value that is necessary for calcification to occur; however, the elevation of aragonite saturation state is likely not the only variable controlling calcification rates.

Dear Coral Listers,
I am a graduate student from the University of Puerto Rico working on coral
community ecology in La Parguera. Lately, I have been paying more and more
attention to socio-ecological dynamics and governance cycles that influence
management decision-making. For understanding this in developed world
societies, it is imperative to talk about corals by the numbers [as
dangerous as it might be].
It has been accepted that about 500 million humans depend [at different
levels] on coral reefs (Wilkinson, 2004). That is one of the most cited
facts in research proposal and paper introductions that aim to justify the
investment on coral reef projects.
However, teasing apart the *human dependency* *metric for the U.S States
and Territories* is something I'm interested to produce a fact sheet of
"CORALS BY THE NUMBERS" to improve communications with Congress and the
general public. This can help understand how resource allocations and
public engagement in coral reef conservation can be improved. It might
reveal an ugly truth due to the population density proportion in tropical
coastal areas to inland and subtropical/temperate coasts.
*Does anybody here can shed light on the approximated number of people in
the U.S State and Jurisdictions that actually depend [protein, tourism,
education, coastal protection, recreation, etc.] on coral reefs?*
I will keep looking for sources but if anyone here can point out specific
sources to focus my data mining that would be of great help.
Thanks!

Hi Ruediger,
Too much (blue) light is too much, there's certainly quite some data to
support that view. Next to the action spectrum of zooxanthellae, it is
interesting to note that blue light seems to entrain the cell cycle of
zooxanthellae (for example see Wang et al. 2008). Without blue light, corals
don't fare that well after some time (Kinzie et al. 1984, 1987, Wijgerde et
al. 2014).
This certainly is an interesting topic! I am starting a new experiment using
narrow bandwidth LED's soon, to look at a host of coral responses to various
individual colors. Good times.
Cheers!

Dear Siviwe,
In your e-mail you mentioned, that you are looking for a lighting with
"natural daylight", but to be honest, it would be possible to keep your
corals with 0.3 watts / litre with 1:3 royal blue : blue LEDs without any
"white" light.
Blue wavelength have the highest emitted energy of all "visible" wavelength
(besides ultra-violet) and when you look at the absorption spectrum of
zooxanthellae, you can see, that the important wavelengths are between 430
and 470 nm.
In 2009 I build my very first DIY high power LED lighting and found it a
good idea to put a 3 watt royal blue LED for "moonlight" in the center of
the lamp. Two weeks later I found my Stylopora bleached due to the permanent
light stress. You see, too much "blue light" is not healthy for corals
either.
>From my experience, the above mentioned mix 1:3:16 (royal blue : blue :
6500K) has been tried and tested by many aquarists.
If you need more help, feel free to e-mail me.
Kind regards,
Ruediger

A short popular article based on the Science article I posed a link to
yesterday.
Corals can still grow their "bones" in acid waters.

Open access.
If I remember, the abstract in the original paper said they "may" be able
to calcify in more acidic (less basic) water, they didn't say they "can."
There are certainly plenty of papers showing corals having reduced
calcification in lab tests in lower pH water aren't there?

Photos (a couple of thousand in total) illustrate each of about 300 species that have been found there. A handful appear to be undescribed. This has been prepared by myself with Doug Fenner and Anne Sheppard. As with all coral taxonomy, this is a work which is 'in progress' so any feedback is welcomed.

Dear colleagues,
I invite you to consider submitting an abstract to session number ?16
"PROXIMATE AND EVOLUTIONARY CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES OF LARVAL DISPERSAL IN
CORAL REEF SEASCAPES" to be held at the European Coral Reef Symposium,
13-15 Dec 2017, University of Oxford, UK.
Session abstract:
?The degree of larval connectivity between spatially segregated
sub-populations has critical consequences for a species? evolution,
population dynamics, geographic range and resilience toward disturbance.
Due to the inherent difficulty of tracking minute larvae in a vast and
dynamic ocean, however, larval dispersal remains an enigmatic process.
Relatively recent methodological advances have enabled us to estimate
patterns of connectivity over a range of spatio-temporal scales in a
variety of coral reef organisms. The emergent paradigm from this research
is that populations may be much less open than commonly believed only a
decade ago. While the majority of settlement appears to take place close to
the spawning site, some larvae do travel enormous distances. The proximate
causes (e.g. phenotype-environment interactions) and evolutionary
consequences (e.g. population structure) of such intra-specific variability
in dispersal strategies constitute a relatively recent, yet crucial field
of investigation with important ramifications for dispersal modelling and
reserve network design. Larval dispersal is inherently a multidisciplinary
field of research, attracting geneticists, statisticians and modellers,
behavioural ecologists, physiologists and eventually conservationists
dealing with spatial management of threatened coastal resources. The
primary target audience comprises ecologists working on any aspect of
larval dispersal, ranging from population genetics over larval behaviour to
the prediction of dispersal pathways using coupled biophysical models.
Online submissions for oral and poster presentations are open until 30 June

Hi Mark,
thanks for sharing this really interesting study. I definitely agree that
tourism can be a positive force for the oceans...if managed properly. I
would like to add something to this paper, namely that there also is an
increasing amount of tourism that does not rely on coral reefs, but focuses
on soft sediment habitats instead.
We recently published a paper in Marine Policy showing that dive tourism
focusing on cryptobenthic fauna on soft sediment habitats is worth more
then $150 million per year. While this is only a fraction of the value of
reef diving, it does show that habitats perceived to have low diversity and
the small animals that live in them can have a very high value as well.
The paper is behind a paywall, so I am providing a link to a general public
friendly summary as well as the original paper.

The Marine Palaeoecology Lab at the University of Queensland is looking for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Quantitative Ecology. We are seeking candidates with postdoctoral research interests in the long-term ecological dynamics of biological communities. The successful applicant will conduct empirical research into understanding the long-term ecological dynamics of reef coral communities using multiple large data sets at multiple temporal scales. As part of the Marine Palaeoecology Lab in the School of Biological Sciences and the ARC Centre of Excellence, the position duties are primarily related to the implementation of novel quantitative techniques applicable to time-series data that test fundamental ecological hypotheses in community ecology. To see full description of the position and application details follow the link below:
