Acute turbidity exposures with Port of Miami sediments impact Orbicella faveolata tissue regeneration

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2023
We evaluated acute turbidity effects on a threatened coral species (Orbicella faveolata) under three short-term challenge scenarios using a Port of Miami sediment homogenate to simulate turbid conditions during dredging. For these experiments we designed a simple coral challenge test system that kept turbidity stable, without adverse effects to the ...

Characterization of a thermally tolerant Orbicella faveolata reef in Abaco, The Bahamas

Coral Reefs, 2020
Increased ocean temperatures from anthropogenic climate change induce coral bleaching, the breakdown of symbioses between corals and photosynthetic dinoflagellates. However, some corals thrive in marginal, warm environments that exceed typical bleaching thresholds. Their survival may be mediated by specific genes within the coral host, association with

Genetic differentiation in the mountainous star coral Orbicella faveolata around Cuba

Coral Reefs, 2018
Caribbean coral reefs are biodiversity-rich habitats which provide numerous ecosystem services with both ecological and economical values, but nowadays they are severely degraded. In particular, populations of the major framework-building coral Orbicella faveolata have declined sharply, and therefore, understanding how these threatened coral ...

Uncertainty and variability of extension rate, density and calcification rate of a hermatypic coral (Orbicella faveolata)

Science of The Total Environment, 2019
Skeleton growth variables of hermatypic corals, such as extension rate, density and calcification rate, are widely used to study coral response to environmental stressors, establish chronological age models and reconstruct the evolution of key climate variables.
