Habitat selection, facilitation, and biotic settlement cues affect distribution and performance of coral recruits in French Polynesia

Abstract: Habitat selection can determine the distribution and performance of individuals if the precision with which sites are chosen corresponds with exposure to risks or resources. Contrastingly, facilitation can allow persistence of individuals arriving by chance and potentially maladapted to local abiotic conditions. For marine organisms, selection of a permanent attachment site at the end of their larval stage or the presence of a facilitator can be a critical determinant of recruitment success. In coral reef ecos… Show more

“…The cue required for the settlement of many species of coral larvae originates from CCA (Morse et al 1988, 1996, Golbuu & Richmond 2007, Kitamura et al 2007, Price 2010, Ritson-Williams et al 2010. Morse et al (1996) found the cue from CCA to be a cell-wall bound polysaccharide with a high molecular weight.…”

“…Anthozoans, particularly corals, utilize a diverse range of cues. Cues can be associated with crustose coralline algae (CCA) (Morse et al 1988, 1996, Baird et al 2003, Baird & Morse 2004, Harrington et al 2004, Golbuu & Richmond 2007, Kitamura et al 2007, Ritson-Williams et al 2010, Price 2010 or marine bacteria and biofilms (Negri et al 2001, Webster et al 2004. Four species of Acropora (A. tenuis, A. millepora, A. palmata, and A. cervicornis) have been shown to preferentially settle on a particular species of CCA, Titanoderma prototypum (Harrington et al 2004, Ritson-Williams et al 2010, which is also preferred by other hard corals (Pocillopora spp.…”

“…Indo-Pacific, have demonstrated that coral larvae settle higher in response to certain species of CCAs over others (Harrington et al 2004;Arnold et al 2010;Price 2010;Ritson-Williams et al 2010). Our data confirm these results and further demonstrate that these preferences can vary substantially among broadcast-spawning coral species, even if these corals are from the same reef environment at the same location.…”

“…Various factors influence coral settlement (Maida 1994;Mundy and Babcock 1998;Raimondi and Morse 2000), however for many corals the biological properties of the reef surface appear to play a pivotal role in this choice (Babcock and Mundy 1996;Heyward and Negri 1999;Price 2010;Ritson-Williams et al 2010). Crustose coralline algae (CCA; Rhodophyta, Corallinaceae) and associated communities have been shown to be one of the primary inducers of settlement and metamorphosis in coral larvae (Morse and Morse 1988;Morse et al 1996;Heyward and Negri 1999).…”
