Comment on Lesser et al. Using Stable Isotope Analyses to Assess the Trophic Ecology of Scleractinian Corals. Oceans 2022, 3, 527–546 Open
In warm oligotrophic waters, photosymbiotic coral can flourish across a wide depth range (0–170+ m), extending to depths where light attenuates to ~0.1% of surface values. Conventional wisdom has long assumed that mixotrophic corals must i…

GINSA: an accumulator for paired locality and next-generation small ribosomal subunit sequence data Open
Motivation Motivated by the challenges of decentralized genetic data spread across multiple international organizations, GINSA leverages the Global Biodiversity Information Facility infrastructure to automatically retrieve and link small r…

Coral geometry and why it matters Open
Clonal organisms like reef building corals exhibit a wide variety of colony morphologies and geometric shapes which can have many physiological and ecological implications. Colony geometry can dictate the relationship between dimensions of…

Calibration of Sr/Ca Ratio and In Situ Temperature Using Hawaiian Corals Open
The Sr/Ca ratio of modern coral skeletons can record local seawater temperature (T) and is an important tool for reconstructing past environments. However, site‐specific calibrations are required to ensure accurate temperature reconstructi…

Spatiotemporal Assessment of CO2–Carbonic Acid System Dynamics in a Pristine Coral Reef Ecosystem, French Frigate Shoals, Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Open
Observations of surface seawater fugacity of carbon dioxide (fCO2) and pH were collected over a period of several days at French Frigate Shoals (FFS) in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI) in order to gain an understanding of the natu…
