attribute NC_GLOBAL acquisition_description String Based on Tsounis and Edmunds (In press), Ecosphere:\\u00a0\n \nAnalyses are based on ~ 1,600\\u00a0photoquadrats\\u00a0recorded annually since\n1987. Photoquadrats were recorded with a Nikonos V camera fitted with\nKodachrome 64 slide film from 1987-1999, but from 2000, digital cameras were\nused (2000-2006: Nikon Coolpix 990, 3.3 megapixels; 2007: Nikon D70, 6.1\nmegapixels; 2011, Nikon D90, 12.3 megapixels; and 2012-2013, Nikon D7000, 16.2\nmegapixels). Cameras were fitted with a strobe (Nikonos SB105) and mounted on\na\\u00a0quadrapod\\u00a0holding them perpendicular to the substratum (Edmunds\n2002, 2013). The camera\\u00a0framer\\u00a0remained identical throughout the\nstudy and together with the cameras, resolved objects greater than or equal to\n10-mm diameter in a 1 \\u00d7 1 m\\u00a0framer. At each\nsite,\\u00a0photoquadrats\\u00a0were recorded at ~ 10 contiguous locations along\neach of three transects that are parallel to one another\nat\\u00a0constant\\u00a0depth (+/- 2 meters), and 5-m apart (30 images\ny-1\\u00a0at each site). The same transects were resampled every year. Sampling\noccurred in December 1987, March 1988, July 1988, December 1988, April 1989,\nOctober 1989, March 1991, May 1992, June 1993, August 1994, May 1995 to 1997,\nand July or August thereafter. Images are\narchived\\u00a0online\\u00a0([http://mcr.lternet.edu/vinp/overview/](\\\\\"http://mcr.lternet.edu/vinp/overview/\\\\\")).\n \nImages were analyzed for percentage cover of benthic organisms using CPCe\nversion 3.6 software (Kohler and Gill 2006), or for\\u00a0abundance\\u00a0of\noctocoral colonies (number of colonies). First, percentage cover was\ndetermined using 200 dots randomly scattered on each image and scored by their\noccurrence on scleractinians, macroalgae (algae greater than or equal to 1 cm\nhigh, consisting mostly of\\u00a0Halimeda, Lobophora, Padina,\nand\\u00a0Dictyota), and CTB. Scleractinians were scored as a single functional\ngroup as the fauna was dominated by\\u00a0O.\\u00a0annularis\\u00a0(85 % at\nYawzi; 58 % at Tektite, 1987), and resolution in the 1 x 1\nm\\u00a0photoquadrats\\u00a0made it difficult to resolve small colonies such as\nthose of\\u00a0Agaricia\\u00a0and juvenile\\u00a0Porites\\u00a0spp. Second, colony\nabundance of octocorals (individuals m-2) was quantified with annual\nresolution, and colonies were counted when their holdfasts were visible in\nthe\\u00a0photoquadrats\\u00a0(Lenz et al. 2015).\\u00a0Erythropodium\\u00a0spp.\nand encrusting\\u00a0Briareum\\u00a0spp. were represented at low cover and\nabundance, and were quantified based on the number of discrete areas of\ncolonies. Numerical abundance of octocorals was used at annual resolution.\nCover data with 5-year resolution were included for comparison with other\nstudies.\n \nOctocorals are challenging to resolve to species underwater, because\nidentification typically requires analysis of sclerites (Bayer 1961) in\nvoucher specimens, the collection of which is restricted in the Virgin Islands\nNational Park. Identification is even more challenging\nin\\u00a0photoquadrats\\u00a0where lighting and resolution can be limiting, and\ntherefore our analysis focused on the 11 genera found at these\nsites:\\u00a0Briareum, Erythropodium, Plexaura, Pseudoplexaura,\\u00a0Eunicea,\nPlexaurella, Muriceopsis, Antillogorgia,\\u00a0and\\u00a0Gorgonia. Small\ncolonies of\\u00a0Eunicea,\\u00a0Plexaurella,\\u00a0Pseudoplexaura,\nand\\u00a0Plexaura\\u00a0spp. were scored as \\u201cunknowns\\u201d as they could\nnot be distinguished in the photographs. The height of small colonies could\nnot be determined in planar images, but they were ~ 12 cm\ntall.\\u00a0Pterogorgia\\u00a0and\\u00a0Muricea\\u00a0were found in the region,\nand either were not detected in the sampling areas, or could not be resolved\nin the photographs.\n \nReferences:\n \nEdmunds, P.

attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_0_description String Long Term Research in Environmental Biology (LTREB) in US Virgin Islands:\nFrom the NSF award abstract:\nIn an era of growing human pressures on natural resources, there is a critical need to understand how major ecosystems will respond, the extent to which resource management can lessen the implications of these responses, and the likely state of these ecosystems in the future. Time-series analyses of community structure provide a vital tool in meeting these needs and promise a profound understanding of community change. This study focuses on coral reef ecosystems; an existing time-series analysis of the coral community structure on the reefs of St. John, US Virgin Islands, will be expanded to 27 years of continuous data in annual increments. Expansion of the core time-series data will be used to address five questions: (1) To what extent is the ecology at a small spatial scale (1-2 km) representative of regional scale events (10's of km)? (2) What are the effects of declining coral cover in modifying the genetic population structure of the coral host and its algal symbionts? (3) What are the roles of pre- versus post-settlement events in determining the population dynamics of small corals? (4) What role do physical forcing agents (other than temperature) play in driving the population dynamics of juvenile corals? and (5) How are populations of other, non-coral invertebrates responding to decadal-scale declines in coral cover? Ecological methods identical to those used over the last two decades will be supplemented by molecular genetic tools to understand the extent to which declining coral cover is affecting the genetic diversity of the corals remaining. An information management program will be implemented to create broad access by the scientific community to the entire data set.\nThe importance of this study lies in the extreme longevity of the data describing coral reefs in a unique ecological context, and the immense potential that these data possess for understanding both the patterns of comprehensive community change (i.e., involving corals, other invertebrates, and genetic diversity), and the processes driving them. Importantly, as this project is closely integrated with resource management within the VI National Park, as well as larger efforts to study coral reefs in the US through the NSF Moorea Coral Reef LTER, it has a strong potential to have scientific and management implications that extend further than the location of the study.\nThe following publications and data resulted from this project:\n2015    Edmunds PJ, Tsounis G, Lasker HR (2015) Differential distribution of octocorals and scleractinians around St. John and St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands.

attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_1_description String The recent past has not been good for coral reefs, and journals have been filled with examples of declining coral cover, crashing fish populations, rising cover of macroalgae, and a future potentially filled with slime. However, reefs are more than the corals and fishes for which they are known best, and their biodiversity is affected strongly by other groups of organisms. The non-coral fauna of reefs is being neglected in the rush to evaluate the loss of corals and fishes, and this project will add on to an on-going long term ecological study by studying soft corals. This project will be focused on the ecology of soft corals on reefs in St. John, USVI to understand the Past, Present and the Future community structure of soft corals in a changing world. For the Past, the principal investigators will complete a retrospective analysis of octocoral abundance in St. John between 1992 and the present, as well as Caribbean-wide since the 1960's. For the Present, they will: (i) evaluate spatio-temporal changes between soft corals and corals, (ii) test for the role of competition with macroalgae and between soft corals and corals as processes driving the rising abundance of soft corals, and (iii) explore the role of soft corals as \"animal forests\" in modifying physical conditions beneath their canopy, thereby modulating recruitment dynamics. For the Future the project will conduct demographic analyses on key soft corals to evaluate annual variation in population processes and project populations into a future impacted by global climate change.\nThis project was funded to provide and independent \"overlay\" to the ongoing LTREB award (DEB-1350146, co-funded by OCE, PI Edmunds) focused on the long-term dynamics of coral reefs in St. John.\nNote: This project is closely associated with the project \"RAPID: Resilience of Caribbean octocorals following Hurricanes Irma and Maria\".
