    String summary "The period of time that larvae spend in the water column, the pelagic larval duration (PLD), has a profound impact on dispersal distance. Characterizing variations in PLD across a population is critical for refined estimates of dispersal, yet this work is rarely done. We conducted an experiment to characterize the PLD of massive Porites larvae in April 2023. Adult massive Porites corals were collected from six sites in Palau immediately prior to their spawning, around the full moon. Collected corals were held in individual plastic containers in ambient unfiltered flow-through seawater tanks at the Palau International Coral Reef Center (PICRC).  Larvae from two bulk crosses were pooled for this experiment. Each cross included sperm from 3 males and eggs from one female . Three-dpf larvae (n=20 individuals) were added to clear plastic culture dishes (~200 mL) with ambient seawater (ASW) at three different filtrations: unfiltered, 5 μm filtered, or 0.5 μm filtered (n=10 per treatment). No additional settlement cues were provided. Culture dishes were maintained in flow-through ASW tanks at PICRC, and ~80% water changes were conducted every 2 days. Temperature and light experienced by larvae during the experiment were recorded using Hobo pendant loggers in an identical culture dish in the same seawater tank. Immediately prior to water changes, all larvae and settlers in each culture dish were counted. Settlement was defined as a larva attaching itself to the bottom of the dish, remaining attached after mechanical disturbance (i.e., gently shaking the dish), and visually beginning to undergo metamorphosis.";

Using tabledap to Request Data and Graphs from Tabular Datasets

tabledap lets you request a data subset, a graph, or a map from a tabular dataset (for example, buoy data), via a specially formed URL. tabledap uses the OPeNDAP (external link)

Data Access Protocol (DAP) (external link)

and its selection constraints (external link)

The URL specifies what you want: the dataset, a description of the graph or the subset of the data, and the file type for the response.

(easy) You can get data by using the dataset's Data Access Form or Subset form. They make the URL for you.
(easy) You can make a graph or map by using the dataset's Make A Graph form. It makes the URL for you.
(not hard) You can bypass the forms and get the data or make a graph or map by generating the URL by hand or with a computer program or script.

Tabledap request URLs must be in the form
https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/tabledap/datasetID.fileType{?query}
For example,
https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/tabledap/pmelTaoDySst.htmlTable?longitude,latitude,time,station,wmo_platform_code,T_25&time>=2015-05-23T12:00:00Z&time<=2015-05-31T12:00:00Z
Thus, the query is often a comma-separated list of desired variable names, followed by a collection of constraints (e.g., variable<value), each preceded by '&' (which is interpreted as "AND").

For details, see the tabledap Documentation.
