Differential effects of coral-giant clam assemblages on biofouling formation

Here, we investigated the physiological and transcriptomic responses of a major reef-building coral, Pocillopora damicornis , when exposed to a specific pathogen (

Since the vapor layer thickness is several orders of magnitude thinner than the droplet diameter [6,8,58] , our grid is refined near the solid surface in order to perform fully

We propose explicitly quantifying the influence of reefscape configuration and composition on genetic structure with a multi-disciplinary modelling approach (Fig 1) that includes

Moreover, genetic studies on T.maxima in French Polynesia are still in their infancy and, as far as we are concerned, except the work on Tridacna squamosa

Time of exposure to thermal and acidification stress was shown to have a significant impact on O 2 production (P = 0.030), photosynthetic yield (P = 0.021), symbiont density (P =

Shell growth, reproduction, and natural mortality of the giant clam Tridacna maxima were characterized over a two-year-period in the lagoon of the high island of Tubuai

From 458 colonies sampled within the tropical southwestern Pacific [Chesterfield Islands and New Caledonia (Grande Terre and Loyalty Islands)], Bayesian assignments and network

Here we used multiple species assemblages of three common Indo-Pacific holobionts, the scleractinian corals Pocillopora damicornis and Acropora cytherea, and the giant clam
