(2023) :\n* [See \"Related Datasets\" section for access to related datasets discussed here]\n\nUnderstanding population dynamics is a long-standing objective of ecology, but the need for progress in this area has become urgent. For coral reefs, achieving this objective is impeded by a lack of information on settlement versus post-settlement events in determining recruitment and population size. Declines in coral abundance are often inferred to be associated with reduced densities of recruits, which could arise from mechanisms occurring at larval settlement, or throughout post-settlement stages. This study uses annual measurements from 2008 to 2021 of coral cover, the density of coral settlers (S), the density of small corals (SC), and environmental conditions, to evaluate the roles of settlement versus post-settlement events in determining rates of coral recruitment and changes in coral cover at Moorea, French Polynesia. Coral cover, S, SC, and the SC:S ratio (a proxy for post-settlement success), and environmental conditions, were used in generalized additive models (GAMs) to show that: (a) coral cover was more strongly related to SC and SC:S than S, and (b) SC:S was highest when preceded by cool seawater, low concentrations of Chlorophyll a, and low flow speeds, and S showed evidence of declining with elevated temperature. Together, these results suggest that changes in coral cover in Moorea are more strongly influenced by post-settlement events than settlement. The key to understanding coral community resilience may lie in elucidating the factors attenuating the bottleneck between settlers and small corals.\n\ncdm_data_type = Other\nVARIABLES:\nYear (unitless)\nSite (unitless)\nQuadrat (unitless)\nPocillopora (per colony)\nAll_corals (per colony)\n BCO-DMO bcodmo_dataset_918330_v1

Buck Island (BI) and Savana Island (SI) are located near undeveloped offshore cays. Botany Bay (BB) is a nearshore site in a bay with a low level of watershed development.\n\nThis dataset represents sponge volume from these repeated surveys before and after the 2017 hurricane season. We used three randomly selected transects out of the six permanently established 10-meter TCRMP transects at each site. The same three transects at each site were re-surveyed repeatedly in August 2016 (pre-hurricanes), December 2017 (10 weeks post-hurricanes), March 2018 (24 weeks post-hurricanes), November 2018 (61 weeks post-hurricanes), and July 2019 (93 weeks post-hurricanes).\n\ncdm_data_type = Other\nVARIABLES:\nYear (unitless)\nSite (unitless)\nLatitude (degrees_north)\nlongitude (degrees_east)\nquadrat (unitless)\nsponge_volume (centimeters cubed per square meter (cm3/m2))\n https://erddap.bco-dmo.org/erddap/info/bcodmo_dataset_889972_v1/index.htmlTable https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/889972 (external link) https://erddap.bco-dmo.org/erddap/rss/bcodmo_dataset_889972_v1.rss https://erddap.bco-dmo.org/erddap/subscriptions/add.html?datasetID=bcodmo_dataset_889972_v1&showErrors=false&email= BCO-DMO bcodmo_dataset_889972_v1

Major tropical storms are destructive phenomena with large effects on the community dynamics of multiple biomes. On coral reefs, their impacts have been described for decades, leading to the expectation that future storms should have effects similar to those recorded in the past. This expectation relies on the assumption that storm intensities will remain unchanged, and the impacted coral reef communities are similar to those of the recent past; neither assumption is correct. These data support a study quantifying the effects of two category five hurricanes on the reefs of St. John, US Virgin Islands, where 31 y of time-series analyses reveal chronic coral mortality, increasing macroalgal abundance, and five major hurricanes that caused acute coral mortality. Contextualized by these trends, the effects of the most recent storms, Hurricanes Irma and Maria (September 2017), on coral cover were modest. While mean absolute coral cover declined 1\\u20134% depending on site, these effects were not statistically discernable. Following decades of increasing abundance of macroalgae, this functional group responded to the  recent hurricanes with large increases in abundance on both absolute and relative scales. Decades of chronic mortality have changed the coral assemblages of St. John to create degraded communities that are resistant to severe storms.\n\ncdm_data_type = Other\nVARIABLES:\nSite (unitless)\nTransect_num (unitless)\nYear (years)\nQuadrat (unitless)\nTiming (unitless)\nOrbicella_complex (percent cover)\nMontastraea (percent cover)\nAgaricia (percent cover)\nColpophyllia (percent cover)\nDiploria (percent cover)\nEusmilia (percent cover)\nMadracis (percent cover)\n...
