3D Scanning as a Tool to Measure Growth Rates of Live Coral Microfragments Used for Coral Reef Restoration

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Rapid and widespread declines in coral health and abundance have driven increased investments in coral reef restoration interventions to jumpstart population recovery. Microfragmentation, an asexual propagation technique, is used to produce large numbers

Assisted sexual reproduction of Acropora cervicornis for active restoration on Florida’s Coral Reef

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Given the rapid, global decline in the health and abundance of coral reefs, increased investments in restoration-based interventions -including asexual and sexual propagation- are being made by coral reef scientists at research institutions, but also at ...

No apparent cost of disease resistance on reproductive output in Acropora cervicornis genets used for active coral reef restoration in Florida

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
As assisted sexual reproduction interventions continue to become embedded within coral reef restoration initiatives, it is important to understand the potential for trade-offs between key traits like reproductive output and disease resistance.

Common aquarium antiseptics do not cause long-term shifts in coral microbiota but may impact coral growth rates

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
IntroductionThough bacterial pathogens and parasites can compromise coral health, coral microbiome research increasingly suggests a beneficial role for bacterial species living in coral tissue and mucus. Recent studies suggest the application of targeted
