Global and local disturbances, such as climate change and pollution from runoff, are threatening long-term survival of coral reef ecosystems.
More...Global and local disturbances, such as climate change and pollution from runoff, are threatening long-term survival of coral reef ecosystems. Coral larvae are an important source of recruitment for reefs, yet are sensitive to environmental changes.
This project aimed to characterize molecular-level responses of coral larvae to salinity, a factor associated with climate change. Data will enable future diagnoses of stressed populations and aid in the implementation of adaptive management strategies for the mitigation of local disturbances. Effects of these stressors were tested by: characterizing gene expression profiles of coral larvae using microarray technology and transcriptome sequencing of P. astreoides larvae. Less...
