Local Adaptation Signatures in Thermal Performance of the Temperate Coral Astrangia poculata
<p>The Northern Star Coral (<em>Astrangia poculata</em>) is an understudied temperate scleractinian coral that provides unique opportunities to understand the roles of phenotypic plasticity and local adaptation in coral physiological tolerance limits. <em>Astrangia poculata</em> inhabits hard …

Microscale Variation in Light Intensity and its Effects on Growth of Juveniles of the Temperate Coral, Oculina Arbuscula
… photosynthetic efficiency and growth in juvenile corals. The goal of this study was to examine the effects of substrate angle on chlorophyll concentrations, algal densities and juvenile growth of the temperate scleractinian coral, Oculina arbuscula. Light intensity was quantified at different …

Population Genetic Structure of the Temperate Scleractinian Coral, Oculina Arbuscula, in Coastal Georgia
… study, I hypothesized 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 …

Phylogeography of Oculina Corals and their Algal Symbionts: Insights into the Origin and Expansion of Oculina Patagonica in the Mediterranean
… successful 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 …

SENSITIVITY AND RESILIENCE OF CNIDARIAN EARLY LIFE PROCESSES TO ANTHROPOGENIC CLIMATE CHANGE
… have decimated populations of cnidarians (e.g., corals and sea anemones) on a global scale over recent decades. Conserving and restoring cnidarian populations requires a thorough understanding of these species’ early life processes (i.e., reproduction and development), yet we lack foundational …
