CORAL REEF NEWS: A Summer of Opportunity (Scripps Institution of Oceanography)
scripps.ucsd.edu/news/summer…
Coral reefs, like research communities, face disturbances, but their response to major change determines their perseverance. When most people think of coral reefs today, they picture coral bleaching and collapse, but there’s more to the story.
New research from the lab of Stuart Sandin, a marine biologist at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography, shows that the coral assemblages of reefs prior to disturbance events impact how these reefs respond. The community composition of a reef can potentially buffer or enhance how reefs respond to a disturbance like a cyclone or a marine thermal stress event. Certain coral taxa are better equipped when facing environmental pressures than others.

It is important to understand the role of plant functional groups (PFGs) in mediating the impact of environmental conditions on ecosystem functions and biodiversity.

ALT Two examples of changes in communities due to PCR bias and illustrations of potential solutions. A and B show communities of 3 taxa with variation in amplification efficiency. Left panels show the PCR process where slopes of lines are determined by the taxon-specific amplification efficiencies. Right panels compare the true starting-community DNA composition and the observed community composition at PCR cycle 30
