Journal ArticleDOI
Restoration of coral populations in light of genetic diversity estimates
TL;DR: Coral restoration strategies using 10–35 randomly selected local donor colonies will retain at least 50–90% of the genetic diversity of the original population, and restoration methods utilizing few clonal genotypes to re-populate a reef will diminish the genetic integrity of the population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological and genetic data indicate recovery of the endangered coral Acropora palmata in Los Roques, Southern Caribbean
TL;DR: Both ecological and molecular data support a good prognosis for the recovery of this species in Los Roques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coral mass- and split-spawning at a coastal and an offshore Venezuelan reefs, southern Caribbean
C. Bastidas,Aldo Cróquer,Ainhoa L. Zubillaga,Ruth Ramos,V. Kortnik,C. Weinberger,Luis Miguel Marquez +6 more
TL;DR: High synchrony in the spawning behavior of seven coral species common to both reefs is observed, including the ability of colonies of Montastraea faveolata and Eusmilia fastigiata to split spawn up to three times, either in consecutive nights or in different months.
Journal ArticleDOI
Population structure of the corals Orbicella faveolata and Acropora palmata in the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System with comparisons over Caribbean basin-wide spatial scale
I. Porto-Hannes,Ainhoa L. Zubillaga,T. L. Shearer,C. Bastidas,Camilo Salazar,Mary Alice Coffroth,Alina M. Szmant +6 more
TL;DR: High genetic diversity and low clonality were found for both species, which is expected for O. faveolata but not for A. palmata, and both species showed low-to-moderate, yet significant population structure among populations along the MBRS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is Acropora palmata recovering? A case study in Los Roques National Park, Venezuela
Aldo Cróquer,Francoise Cavada-Blanco,Ainhoa L. Zubillaga,Esteban Agudo-Adriani,Michael Sweet +4 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that although local protection could promote recovery, the impacts from global threats such as ocean warming may hamper the recovery of this threatened species.
