New moon spawning of Acropora divaricata in the Sakishima Islands, Japan
Many species of Acropora corals spawn simultaneously around the full moon in early summer (May to June in Japan). Nonetheless, there are some species that delay from this simultaneous spawning and spawn in midsum...

Different lipid compositions and their specific localization in the eggs and sperm of Acropora tenuis
Reef-building corals belonging to genus Acropora are essential for the Indo-Pacific reef ecosystems. Lipids in corals provide highly dense forms of energy for reef communities through coral mucus, and the amount ...

Latitudinal variation in growth and survival of juvenile corals in the West and South Pacific
Reef-building corals are found across > 30° of latitude from tropical to temperate regions, where they occupy habitats greatly differing in seawater temperature and light regimes. It remains largely unknown, h...

Optimization of a spawning‑induction protocol for the prediction of natural coral spawning
Many scleractinian corals only spawn once a year, so opportunities for collecting their gametes are limited. Consequently, the induction of spawning in coral would be useful, not only for studies on the mechan...

Interspecific differences in the post-settlement survival of Acropora corals under a common garden experiment
Extremely low post-settlement survival is one of the largest barriers for artificial rehabilitation of Acropora corals. However, little data have been found for interspecific difference of the post-settlement sur...

Genetic evidence of peripheral isolation and low diversity in marginal populations of the Acropora hyacinthus complex
Zooxanthellate corals are found throughout the tropics, but also extend into subtropical and marginal locations due to the presence of warm ocean currents. The population history of corals in marginal location...

What is the optimal density of larval seeding in Acropora corals?
In situ larval seeding is a low-cost technique that is currently under development for the large-scale restoration of coral populations. One problem that still needs to be solved is the preparation of coral la...

Do corals select zooxanthellae by alternative discharge?
Loss of zooxanthellae (dinoflagellate Symbiodinium) from corals will sometimes lead to mass mortality of corals. To detect and quantify Symbiodinium released from corals, we developed a zooxanthellae “trap” and a...
