“…Zooxanthellae and chlorophyll a levels showed significant decreases at higher temperatures and exhibited significantly greater reductions with increasing solar radiation treatments. These results were consistent with reports that moderate to high solar radiation exacerbates bleaching in P. damicornis and other species [5,6,11,13,19,27,28]. Additionally, solar radiation representative of shallow reef conditions reduced P. damicornis chlorophyll a concentrations under acclimated (26 • C) thermal conditions, which has not been previously reported for this species.…”

“…There have been relatively few laboratory studies of stressor impacts on reef-building corals because of the difficulty in maintaining and testing healthy specimens of scleractinians under controlled and environmentally realistic conditions [9,10]. The majority of laboratory research on reef-building corals have used flow-through systems that require either proximity to a coral reef or large quantities of artificial seawater [11][12][13][14]. Fewer studies have used controlled solar radiation exposures to quantify bleaching thresholds and the interaction between temperature and solar radiation.…”

“…strains) and some may possess physiologies that are significantly different (D. T. Pettay & T. C. LaJeunesse 2009, unpublished data). However, the high mortality has been costly to these populations as live coral cover at sites around Banderas Bay remains well below levels that existed prior to the 1997-1998ENSO (H. Reyes-Bonilla 2007Reyes-Bonilla et al 2002). The long-term viability under continued climate change of these populations is, therefore, uncertain.…”

“…Concentrations of chlorophyll a (and hence colour brightness) increase in response to exposure to elevated nutrients (Hoegh-Guldberg and Smith 1989; Table 2) and reduced irradiance (Falkowski and Dubinsky 1981;Dubinsky et al 1984) whereas symbiont density may decrease in response to sedimentation (Nugues and Roberts 2003) and exposure to pollutants, such as cyanide (Cervino et al 2003). However, symbiont density also varies with season (Stimson 1997;Brown et al 1999;Fagoonee et al 1999) and seawater temperature, indicating a moderate specificity to changes in water quality. Correlating colony brightness to changes in water quality also requires large spatial and temporal replication in monitoring programmes because photo-acclimatory responses occur on short timescales (Anthony and Hoegh-Guldberg 2003).…”
