attribute NC_GLOBAL acquisition_description String The samples that were analyzed for this study are 400 colonies of Acropora\nhyacinthus. Nubbins from each colony were experimentally bleached at\ntemperatures of 34, 34.5 and 35 degrees Celsius as well as two control\ntreatments (30 deg. C). Experimental bleaching treatments lasted for 3 hours a\nday for 2 days (a total of 6 hours). Nubbins from each colony were assessed at\nthe beginning of the experiment before bleaching stress (Day 0), as well as on\nthe subsequent 2 days. Tissue from each colony was preserved for later\nanalysis.\n \nColonies were sampled from 40 reefs (10 colonies per reef) across the Palauan\narchipelago. These colonies are tagged and their locations are recorded by\nGPS. We sampled each colony using garden clippers to break off 5 nubbins that\nwe transported back to the Palau International Coral Reef Center where they\nwere subjected to the experimental procedures outlined above.

attribute NC_GLOBAL project String Heat Tolerant Corals
attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_0_acronym String Heat Tolerant Corals
attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_0_description String NSF Award Abstract:\nWhen coral reefs heat up just a few degrees above normal summer temperatures, a reaction called coral bleaching can occur in which single celled plants living inside coral cells are expelled. The coral turns from its normal tan color to bleached white, and because it is deprived of the normal food supply from its plant partner, most of these corals die. Yet, some corals naturally can survive high temperatures that cause others in the same species to bleach. Identifying where these heat tolerant corals are common would provide a general tool for protecting and restoring heat tolerant reefs. The investigators will conduct experiments on 30 patch reefs in Palau of very different sizes in two lagoons, record local temperatures for 400 corals, and test coral heat tolerance using a newly designed coral stress tank. Because large patch reefs generally heat up during daytime low tides, The investigators hypothesize that they are commonly home to heat resistant corals. They will also move heat tolerant corals to cooler locations to test the stability of heat resistance among corals. The stress tank technologies can be widely used in remote settings, and will provide a set of generalizable, practical tools for communities and managers to find and protect heat tolerant corals in reefs around the world. The work will advance undergraduate STEM education in California and Palau. A partnership with the Palau Community College will facilitate the engagement of Pacific Island communities and students. Students will receive interdisciplinary training in field research, genomics and bioinformatics and learn practical skills that will enable them to collect and interpret stress tank and temperature data. Broader outreach efforts will include the production and dissemination of a series of microdocumentaries and blog posts designed to bring the concept of a world-wide search for heat tolerant corals to a global audience.\nPrevious coral reef research has demonstrated that periodic high water temperatures can induce high heat tolerance in reef building corals through a combination of acclimation and selection at many genetic loci. Key questions include whether these kinds of heat tolerant habitats are common or rare, and whether their locations can be predicted by identifying coral reefs where daily temperature spikes regularly occur at low tide. This project will examine heat tolerance of 400 corals in the Acropora hyacinthus species complex across 30 patch reefs in Palau that experience variable temperature and flow profiles. This study will utilize a variety of methods to characterize spatial and temporal patterns of heat tolerance including: (1) the development of low-cost, portable heat stress tanks to quickly and affordably assess in situ conditions, (2) genomic assays of physiological condition to identify the genes and gene expression mechanisms that are responsible for heat tolerance, (3) high resolution temperature mapping to trace the role of temperature variation in producing stable, high temperature tolerance in reef building corals, and (4) reciprocal transplant experiments to evaluate whether heat resistant corals retain heat resistance when moved to cooler locations. This research will expand the geographic map of habitats with known heat tolerance, and expedite the ability to locate coral populations that may be most resistant to future ocean warming.
