    Description: Anthropogenic CO2 is causing warming and ocean acidification. Coral reefs are being severely impacted, yet confusion lingers regarding how reefs will respond to these stressors over this century. Since the 1982-1983 El Niño-Southern Oscillation warming event, the persistence of reefs around the Galápagos Islands has differed across an acidification gradient. Reefs disappeared where pH〈8.0 and aragonite saturation state (Omega arag)〈=3 and have not recovered, whereas one reef has persisted where pH〉8.0 and Omega arag〉3. Where upwelling is greatest, calcification by massive Porites is higher than predicted by a published relationship with temperature despite high CO2, possibly due to elevated nutrients. However, skeletal P/Ca, a proxy for phosphate exposure, negatively correlates with density (R=-0.822, p〈0.0001). We propose that elevated nutrients have the potential to exacerbate acidification by depressing coral skeletal densities and further increasing bioerosion already accelerated by low pH.

    Notes: [Auszug] The long-term response of coral reefs to climate change depends on the ability of reef-building coral symbioses to adapt or acclimatize to warmer temperatures, but there has been no direct evidence that such a response can occur. Here we show that corals containing unusual algal symbionts that ...

    Notes: Coral reef bleaching, the temporary or permanent loss of photosynthetic microalgae (zooxanthellae) and/or their pigments by a variety of reef taxa, is a stress response usually associated with anthropogenic and natural disturbances. Degrees of bleaching, within and among coral colonies and across reef communities, are highly variable and difficult to quantify, thus complicating comparisons of different bleaching events. Small-scale bleaching events can often be correlated with specific disturbances (e.g. extreme low/high temperatures, low/high solar irradiance, subaerial exposure, sedimentation, freshwater dilution, contaminants, and diseases), whereas large scale (mass) bleaching occurs over 100s to 1000s of km2, which is more difficult to explain. Debilitating effects of bleaching include reduced/no skeletal growth and reproductive activity, and a lowered capacity to shed sediments, resist invasion of competing species and diseases. Severe and prolonged bleaching can cause partial to total colony death, resulting in diminished reef growth, the transformation of reef-building communities to alternate, non-reef building community types, bioerosion and ultimately the disappearance of reef structures. Present evidence suggests that the leading factors responsible for large-scale coral reef bleaching are elevated sea temperatures and high solar irradiance (especially ultraviolet wavelengths), which may frequently act jointly.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract Structural coral reefs of Recent age are undergoing vigorous growth on the eastern Pacific continental shores of Panamá. Coelenterate hermatypes include 20 species; 3 are hydrocorals in the genusMillepora, a notable new record for the eastern Pacific region; the abundant scleractinians arePocillopora (4 spp.),Pavona (6 spp.) andPorites (5 spp.).Pocillopora is the chief constructor of mound and fringing reefs with massivePavona andPorites sometimes important at the reef base. UninterruptedPocillopora growth characterizes some fringing reefs, forming a vertical framework with observed maximum thickness of 6 m. Binding of coral by encrusting coralline algae imparts a more rigid and coherent structure to the reef crest and peripheral faces. Intra-reef and flanking sediments contain over 90% calcareous matter; the predominant grain constituents arePocillopora, cirriped and mollusk fragments. Reefs attain their greatest development in the Gulf of Chiriquí; the reason for this is sought in the high and stable thermal conditions of this area. Radiometric dating indicates that net vertical reef growth may approach 1 m/250 years or 4000 B. Important coral predators include fishes, a gastropod, paguran decapods andAcanthaster (in certain areas). Quantitative measurements of the feeding rates and population densities of corallivores indicate that predators may destroy approximately one-third of the annual growth of aPocillopora coral community.
    Abstract: Résumé Les récifs structuraux récents de coraux de la côte Panamienne du Pacifique orientale présentent une croissance importante. Pour la première fois it fut possible d'observer dans le Pacifique orientale, parmi les 20 espèces de Coelentérés hermatypiques, 3 espèces appartenant au gènreMillepora. Les Scleractinia les plus fréquents sont lesPocillopora (4 espèces), lesPavona (6 espèces) et lesPorites (5 espèces). LesPocillopora sont l'élément le plus important de charpente des pitons sous-marins et des récifs frangeants, tandis que des colonies massives dePavona et dePorites sont parfois importantes à la base des récifs. La caractéristique des récifs frangeants est en partie représentée par la croissance ininterrompue dePocillopora conduisant à la construction d'une charpente verticale d'une hauteur maximale de 6 m. Une liaison des coraux par des algues corallines crouteuses forme une structure plus forte et cohérente du sommet et du peripherie des récifs. Les sédiments structuraux interieurs et exterieurs des récifs sont constitués à 90% par des carbonates. Les composants les plus fréquents sont des fragments dePocillopora, de cirripèdes et de mollusques. Le dévelopement du récif atteint sont maximum dans le golfe du Chiriquí. La cause est cherchée dans les températures élevées et stables de cette région. Des précisions radiométriques sur l'âge donnent, pour la croissance verticale, une hauteur d'un mètre pour 250 années ou 4000 unités Bubnoff. Des poissons, un gastéropode, des décapodes (pagures) ainsi que — dans quelques endroits - desAcanthaster sont des ennemis importants des coraux. Des récensements quantitatifs du nourriture et de la densite des populations des corallivores démontrent qu'ils détruisent a peu près un tiers de l'accroissement annuel desPocillopora.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die rezenten Korallenriffstrukturen an der östlichen Pazifikküste von Panamá zeigen starkes Wachstum. Von den 20 vorhandenen Arten hermatypischer Coelenteraten gehören 3 zu der GattungMillepora, die erstmals im ostpazifischen Raum beobachtet wurde. Die häufigeren Scleractinia sindPocillopora (4 Arten),Pavona (6 Arten) undPorites (5 Arten).Pocillopora ist der wichtigste Gerüstbildner in Kuppen- und Saumriffen, während die massigen Kolonien vonPavona undPorites an der Basis der Riffe wichtig werden können. Für einige Saumriffe ist ununterbrochenesPocillopora-Wachstum charakteristisch, das zum Bau eines vertikalen Gerüstes von maximal 6 m Höhe führt. Der Verbund von Korallen durch inkrustierende koralline Algen gibt der Struktur an Ober- und Außenseiten Festigkeit und Zusammenhalt. Die Sedimente innerhalb und außerhalb der Riffstrukturen bestehen zu 90% aus Karbonaten; die häufigsten Komponenten sind Bruchstücke vonPocillopora, Cirrepediern und Mollusken. Die Riffentwicklung erreicht ihren Höhepunkt im Golf von Chiriquí, vermutlich weil in diesem Gebiet die Temperaturen hoch und gleichmäßig sind. Radiometrische Altersbestimmungen haben ein Vertikalwachstum von 1 m/250 Jahre oder 4000 Bubnoff-Einheiten ergeben. Fische, ein Gastropode und Dekapoden (Paguren) sowie — in bestimmten Gegenden-Acanthaster sind wichtige Gegner der Korallen. Quantitative Erfassung von Nahrungsmengen und Bevölkerungsdichten der „Corallivoren“ ergab, daß diese etwa ein Drittel des jährlichen Zuwachses vonPocillopora zerstören.

    Notes: Abstract Approximately 550 measurements of Mn/Ca ratios in three corals from the western Galapagos Islands have been performed to reconstruct a 380-year history of surface ocean variability with respect to this trace element. The time period studied encompasses 1600 A.D. to 1978. Manganese is inferred to be lattice-bound in coralline aragonite at 10–50% of its seawater proportion to calcium; uncertainty about the distribution coefficient stems from inherent variability of oceanic Mn in nearshore settings. Interannual variations at Urvina Bay, Isabela Island are generally small, with the exception of a few decades during the nineteenth century. A large positive Mn/Ca anomaly found between 1821–1830 is hypothesized to have resulted from a major volcanic eruption on nearby Fernandina Island in 1825. On intrannual timescales a pronounced cycle occurs in response to seasonal upwelling. Quarterly changes in Mn/Ca are six months out-of-phase with Cd/Ca variations-a reflection of the opposite distributions of these metals in the upper waters of the eastern Pacific. High frequency reconstructions over brief time intervals from the 17th, 18th, and 20th century reveal that the seasonal onset of warm and cool phases near Galapagos has persisted for at least 340 years. A quantitative assessment of historical changes in upwelling intensity is complicated by offsets in background Mn levels recorded by different corals. One apparent longterm feature is an overall decline in skeletal Mn concentrations from 1600–1978 which results in a net decrease of 20–30%. Several possible explanations exist for this trend, ranging from accumulation of a persistent diagenetic Mn phase in fossil aragonite to a temporal shift in oceanic/atmospheric Mn fluxes reaching the surface waters of the Galapagos Islands.

    Notes: Abstract The timing of skeletal band formation and concomitant changes in calcification rates and linear skeletal extension were investigated in Pavona corals growing under two distinct thermal regimes along the Pacific coast of Panama: fluctuating, marked by seasonal upwelling (Gulf of Panama) and stable, nonupwelling (Gulf of Chiriqui). The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that banding in corals is largely mediated by seasonal variations in temperature (Highsmith 1979). Our results indicate that the timing of band formation is synchronous at these two environmentally distinct locations. The low density (LD) portion of the annual band is accreted over a five month period (January–June) and represents an increase in linear skeletal extension (mm/mo.) as well as a marked increase in calcification rate (g CaCO3 · cm-2 · mo-1) relative to the high density portion which forms over the remaining seven month period (July through December). In contrast to the predictions of the Highsmith model these findings indicate that variations in light levels rather than fluctuation in temperature is a better correlate to changes in skeletal density. Qualitatively, banding patterns were similar at the two sites; however, higher growth rates (particularly with respect to the LD band) for Pavona clavus in the Gulf of Panama indicate that lower water temperatures and higher productivity, or both, may be responsible for quantitative differences in banding between sites. We found that formation of the HD band corresponds to lower light levels and the production of gametes. We propose that banding in corals is a complex phenomenon governed by endogenous processes (e.g. reallocation of energy from growth to reproduction) which may be mediated by exogenous factors (e.g light and productivity).

    Notes: Summary Observations and experiments carried out on a coral reef off the Pacific coast of Panamá demonstrated that shrimp (Alpheus lottini) and crab (Trapezia spp.) symbionts that protect their host coral (Pocillopora elegans) can detect an approaching sea star predator (Acanthaster planci) by chemical cues. Simulated feeding attacks by Acanthaster in sealed transparent bags elicited only 0.5 defensive responses (snipping at spines and tube feet, jerking the sea star, and snapping) per 3 min; defensive behavior increased significantly to 4 and 5 responses, respectively, for Acanthaster in perforated bags and for Acanthaster in direct contact with coral. Neutralized (boiled) Acanthaster elicited only 3 defensive interactions per 3 min compared with 12 interactions for live Acanthaster. Simulated feeding attacks by Oreaster, a non-corallivorous sea star, elicited only 0.5 defensive responses per 3 min, whereas Oreaster introduced with “Acanthaster water” increased the level of defensive responses to 7. These results suggest that chemical, and to a lesser extent visual (physical presence and movements of sea star), cues stimulate the defensive behavior of the symbiotic crustaceans. The ability to detect a predator at a distance is probably advantageous because in responding only to an actual threat it minimizes the time the defending symbionts spend in an exposed position on the terminal branches of the host coral and because it alerts the crustaceans to sea stars feeding at night.

    Notes: Abstract Our goal is to demonstrate for an important class of multistage stochastic models that three techniques — namely nested decomposition, Monte Carlo importance sampling, and parallel computing — can be effectively combined to solve this fundamental problem of large-scale linear programming.
