attribute	NC_GLOBAL	acquisition_description	String	From Baumann et al (2017): DNA Extraction Coral holobiont (coral, algae, and microbiome) DNA was isolated from each sample following a modified phenol-chloroform [86,87,88] method described in detail by Davies et al. [87]. Briefly, DNA was isolated by immersing the tissue in digest buffer (100 mM NaCL, 10 mM Tris-Cl pH 8.0, 25 mM EDTA pH 9.0, 0.5% SDS, 0.1 mg ml-1 Proteinase K, and 1 \u00b5g ml-1 RNaseA) for 1 h at 42 \u00b0C followed by a standard phenol-chloroform extraction. Extracted DNA was confirmed on an agarose gel and quantified using a Nanodrop 2000 Spectrophotometer (Thermo Scientific). PCR Amplification and Metabarcoding The ITS-2 region (350 bp) was targeted and amplified in each sample using custom primers that incorporated Symbiodinium specific ITS-2-dino-forward and its2rev2-reverse regions [65, 73, 89]. Each primer was constructed with a universal linker, which allowed for the downstream incorporation of Illumina specific adapters and barcodes during the second PCR as well as four degenerative bases whose function was to increase the complexity of library composition. The forward primer was 5'-GTCTCGTCGGCTCGG + AGATGTGTATAAGAGACAG+ NNNN + CCTCCGCTTACTTATATGCTT-3', where the underlined bases are the 5'-universal linker, italicized bases indicate spacer sequences, Ns denote degenerative bases, and the bold bases are the ITS-2-dino. The reverse primer was 5'-TCGTCGGCAGCGTCA + AGATGTGTATAAGAGACAG + NNNN + GTGAATTGCAGAACTCGTG-3'. Each 20 \u00b5L PCR reaction contained 5-100 ng DNA template, 12.4 \u00b5L Milli-Q H2O, 0.2 \u00b5M dNTPs, 1 \u00b5M forward and 1 \u00b5M reverse primers, 1\u00d7 Extaq buffer, and 0.5 U (units) Extaqpolymerase (Takara Biotechnology). PCR cycles were run for all samples using the following PCR profile: 95 \u00b0C for 5 min, 95 \u00b0C for 40 s, 59 \u00b0C for 2 min, 72 \u00b0C for 1 min per cycle and a final elongation step of 72 \u00b0C for 7 min. The optimal number of PCR cycles for each sample was determined from visualization of a faint band on a 2% agarose gel (usually between 22 and 28 cycles) as per Quigley et al. [65]. PCR products were cleaned using GeneJET PCR purification kits (Fermentas Life Sciences), and then a second PCR reaction was performed to incorporate custom barcode-primer sequences [65] modified for Illumina Miseq as in Klepac et al. [90]. Custom barcode primer sequences included 5'-Illumina adaptor + 6 bp barcode sequence + one of two universal linkers-3' (e.g., 5'-CAAGCAGAAGACGGCATACGAGAT + GTATAG + GTCTCGTGGGCTCGG-3', or 5'-AATGATACGGCGACCACCGAGATCTACAC + AGTCAA + TCGTCGGCAGCGTC-3'). Following barcoding, PCR samples were visualized on a 2% agarose gel and pooled based on band intensity (to ensure equal contributions of each sample in the pool). The resulting pool was run on a 1% SYBR Green (Invitrogen) stained gel for 60 min at 90 V and 120 mA. The target band was excised, soaked in 30 \u00b5L of Milli-Q water overnight at 4 \u00b0C, and the supernatant was submitted for sequencing to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill High Throughput Sequencing Facility across two lanes of Illumina MiSeq (one 2 \u00d7 250, one 2 \u00d7 300). The two lanes produced similar mapping efficiencies (73 and 73%, respectively; Table S3). Bioinformatic Pipeline The bioinformatic pipeline used here builds upon previous work by Quigley et al. [65] and Green et al. [73]. Raw sequences were renamed to retain sample information, and then all forward (R1) and reverse (R2) sequences were concatenated into two files, which were processed using CD-HIT-OTU [91]. CD- HIT-OTU clusters concatenated reads into identical groups at 100% similarity for identification of operational taxonomic units (OTUs). Each sample was then mapped back to the resulting reference OTUs, and an abundance count for each sample across all OTUs was produced. A BLASTn search of each reference OTU was then run against the GenBank (NCBI) nucleotide reference collection using the representative sequence from each OTU to identify which Symbiodinium lineage was represented by each OTU (Table S2). The phylogeny of representative sequences of each distinct Symbiodinium OTU was constructed using the PhyML tool [92, 93] within Geneious version 10.0.5 ([http://geneious.com](\\"http://geneious.com\\")) [94]. PhyML was run using the GTR+I model (chosen based on delta AIC values produced from jModelTest [92, 95]) to determine the maximum likelihood tree. The TreeDyn tool in Phylogeny.fr was used to view the tree (Fig. 2) [96, 97, 98]. The reference sequences included in the phylogeny were accessed from GenBank (Table S6).

attribute	NC_GLOBAL	instruments_0_description	String	General term for a laboratory instrument used for deciphering the order of bases in a strand of DNA. Sanger sequencers detect fluorescence from different dyes that are used to identify the A, C, G, and T extension reactions. Contemporary or Pyrosequencer methods are based on detecting the activity of DNA polymerase (a DNA synthesizing enzyme) with another chemoluminescent enzyme. Essentially, the method allows sequencing of a single strand of DNA by synthesizing the complementary strand along it, one base pair at a time, and detecting which base was actually added at each step.

attribute	NC_GLOBAL	projects_0_description	String	Description from NSF award abstract: Rising global ocean surface temperatures have reduced coral growth rates, thereby negatively impacting the health of coral reef ecosystems worldwide. Recent studies on tropical reef building corals reveal that corals' growth in response to ocean warming may be influenced by their previous seawater temperature exposure - their thermal history. Although these recent findings highlight significant variability in coral growth in response to climate change, uncertainty remains as to the spatial scale at which corals' thermal history influences how they have responded to ocean warming and how they will likely respond to predicted future increases in ocean temperature. This study investigates the influence of thermal history on coral growth in response to recent and predicted seawater temperatures increases across four ecologically relevant spatial scales ranging from reef ecosystems, to reef communities, to reef populations, to an individual coral colony. By understanding how corals have responded in the past across a range of ecological scales, the Principal Investigator will be able to improve the ability to predict their susceptibility and resilience, which could then be applied to coral reef conservation in the face of climate change. This research project will broaden the participation of undergraduates from underrepresented groups and educate public radio listeners using minority voices and narratives. The scientist will leverage current and new partnerships to recruit and train minority undergraduates, thus allowing them to engage high school students near field sites in Florida, Belize, and Panama. Through peer advising, undergraduates will document this research on a digital news site for dissemination to the public. The voice of the undergraduates and scientist will ground the production of a public radio feature exploring the topic of acclimatization and resilience - a capacity for stress tolerance within coral reef ecosystems. This project will provide a postdoctoral researcher and several graduate students with opportunities for field and laboratory research training, teaching and mentoring, and professional development. The results will allow policy makers from Florida, the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System countries, and several Central American countries to benefit from Caribbean-scale inferences that incorporate corals' physiological abilities, thereby improving coral reef management for the region. Coral reefs are at significant risk due to a variety of local and global scale anthropogenic stressors. Although various stressors contribute to the observed decline in coral reef health, recent studies highlight rising seawater temperatures due to increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration as one of the most significant stressors influencing coral growth rates. However, there is increasing recognition of problems of scale since a coral's growth response to an environmental stressor may be conditional on the scale of description. This research will investigate the following research questions: (1) How has seawater temperature on reef ecosystems (Florida Keys Reef Tract, USA; Belize Barrier Reef System, Belize; and Bocas Del Toro Reef Complex, Panama), reef communities (inshore and offshore reefs), reef populations (individual reefs), and near reef colonies (individual colonies), varied in the past? (2) How has seawater temperature influenced rates of coral growth and how does the seawater temperature-coral growth relationship vary across these four ecological spatial scales? (3) Does the seawater temperature-coral growth relationship forecast rates of coral growth under predicted end-of-century ocean warming at the four ecological spatial scales? Long term sea surface temperature records and small-scale high-resolution in situ seawater temperature measurements will be compared with growth chronologies for the reef building corals Siderastrea siderea and Orbicella faveolata, two keystone species ubiquitously distributed throughout the Caribbean Sea. Nutrients and irradiance will be quantified via satellite-derived observations, in situ measurements, and established colorimetric protocols. Field and laboratory experiments will be combined to examine seawater temperature-coral growth relationships under recent and predicted end-of-century ocean warming at four ecologically relevant spatial scales. The findings of this study will help us bridge the temperature-coral growth response gap across ecologically relevant spatial scales and thus improve our understanding of how corals have responded to recent warming. This will lead to more meaningful predictions about future coral growth response to climate change.
