“…Coral reefs create structurally complex ecosystems due to the ability of scleractinian corals to build calcium carbonate skeletons and form three-dimensional structures as they grow (Allemand et al, 2011a;Cabral-Tena et al, 2018;Carricart-Ganivet et al, 2012;Norzagaray-López et al, 2015). The metabolic process of calcification (calcium carbonate precipitation) is the basis for coral growth and is essential for the resilience of reef ecosystems since it allows coral reefs to build and maintain themselves over time (Manzello, 2010;Medellín-Maldonado et al, 2016;Pratchett et al, 2015).…”

“…Given that Pocillopora corals are the primary reef builders in the ETP, calcium carbonate production and reef structural complexity in the ETP are closely related to the abundance and calcifying abilities of these corals (Cabral-Tena et al, 2018Glynn, 1976;Jiménez & Cortés, 2003;Manzello, 2010;Reyes-Bonilla, 2003). In this sense, decreases in the coverage of Pocillopora corals may negatively affect the functionality, stability, and biodiversity associated with these coral ecosystems (Cabral-Tena et al, 2018. The loss of coral cover may be influenced by various factors, such as thermal anomalies that promote coral bleaching events and coral mortality (Hughes et al, 2018).…”

“…In scleractinian corals, growth rates vary across different colony forms with arborescent branching forms often growing faster vertically than massive forms (Anderson et al, 2017;Cabral-Tena et al, 2018). Differences occur as massive forms require more calcium carbonate to increase vertically (Anderson et al, 2017;Cabral-Tena et al, 2018). In branching forms, the thickness of the branches as well as the porosity of the skeleton allow some species to vertically grow faster.…”

“…However, these morphospecies show low relative abundance at Carrizales Reef (Reyes-Bonilla et al 2013). Furthermore, taking into account that Pocillopora corals on the Pacific coast of Mexico are of great importance for the local formation of reefs and show less calcification, as opposed to corals in other geographic regions of the world (Cabral-Tena et al 2018), we believe that continuing to study these organisms, and to locally protect them, is essential to better understand the stress response of coral communities in this region under a scenario of worldwide changes in the ocean.…”

“…Sin embargo, estas últimas morfoespecies presentan una baja abundancia relativa en el arrecife Carrizales (Reyes-Bonilla et al 2013). Además, tomando en cuenta que los corales Pocillopora de la costa mexicana del Pacífico son de gran importancia para la formación local de los arrecifes y presentan una menor calcificación en contraste con otras regiones geográficas del planeta (Cabral-Tena et al 2018), consideramos que el continuar el estudio de estos organismos, así como su protección local, resulta imprescindible para entender mejor la respuesta al estrés de las comunidades coralinas en esta región en escenarios de cambio global en el océano.…”
