Dear Colleagues:
Please consider submitting an abstract to our session 6C-Coral physiology
and energetics under natural and stressful environmental conditions at the
12th ICRS. Abstracts can be submitted until 1 October 2011 at
[1]http://www.icrs2012.com/. Details about the session are below. If you
have any questions, feel free to contact any of the session chairs
directly. Sincerely, Andrea
6C-Coral physiology and energetics under natural and stressful environmental
conditions
(part of the Mini-Symposium on Physiology and Functional Biology)
Session chairs: Christine Ferrier-Pages (ferrier at centrescientifique.mc),
Andrea G. Grottoli (grottoli.1 at osu.edu), Stephen Levas (levas.1 at osu.edu).
Symbiotic corals are usually considered to be photoautotrophs due to their
symbiosis with dinoflagellates that transfer photosynthetically fixed carbon
to their host. However, heterotrophy is also important and can play a
central role in maintaining physiological functions when autotrophy is
reduced. This session aims to understand the following questions: 1- How is
phototrophically and heterotrophically acquired energy allocated and
utilized for reproduction, symbiont tissue, host tissue, and skeletal
growth? 2- How does such acquisition, allocation, and utilization vary among
species? And 3- How do the effects of environmental change (i.e., elevated
temperature and/or ocean acidification and/or nitrification) on coral host
and algal physiology further complicate matters? This mini-symposium
proposes to address the above questions in tropical, temperate, and
cold-water anthozoans in their natural habitat or under stressful
conditions.
