Phylogeography of Oculina Corals and their Algal Symbionts: Insights into the Origin and Expansion of Oculina Patagonica in the Mediterranean
… population expansion of the invasive coral Oculina patagonica in the Mediterranean Sea. To do this, I have utilized nuclear markers and next-generation sequencing data for the coral host and its algal symbiont as well as environmental data. Although only recently first described from the …

Population Genetic Structure of the Temperate Scleractinian Coral, Oculina Arbuscula, in Coastal Georgia
… that populations of the temperate coral, Oculina arbuscula, are maintained primarily by local recruitment off the Georgia coast because: 1) suitable substrate for settlement is patchy and 2) O. arbuscula's branching morphology is conducive to asexual reproduction by fragmentation. To …

Microscale Variation in Light Intensity and its Effects on Growth of Juveniles of the Temperate Coral, Oculina Arbuscula
… growth of the temperate scleractinian coral, Oculina arbuscula. Light intensity was quantified at different substrate slopes on live-bottom reefs at ~18 m depth in and around Grays Reef National Marine Sanctuary approximately 20 NM off the Georgia coast. The settlement angles for juvenile O. …

Effects of Sediment on Growth and Survival of Various Juvenile Morphologies of the Scleractinian Cora, Oculina Arbuscula (Verrill)
… the benthic community: the scleractinian coral, Oculina arbuscula. I addressed the predictions that: 1) inorganic and organic sedimentation rates vary in relation to wind speed and wave height in the SAB, 2) the ability of juvenile O. arbuscula to shed sediment depends on skeletal morphology, and …

Coral adaptations across ecological and evolutionary scales
… the facultatively symbiotic corals Astrangia and Oculina. I uncovered the existence of four genetic lineages of coral, two within each genus, with inter-lineage differences in distributions, thermal performance, and symbiotic partnerships. I also found evidence for shared genetic variation between …
