Reproductive phenology of a dominant crustose coralline alga, Sporolithon sp., from Taoyuan algal reefs in Northwest Taiwan

Yen-Zhen Tan et al.

Summary: This study documented the asexual and sexual reproductive stages of the dominant species of Sporolithon in Taoyuan algal reefs. The results showed that the reproductive cycle of this species is largely influenced by sea surface temperature, with asexual reproductive structures appearing in summer and autumn and sexual reproductive structures present throughout the year. The high ratio of sterile thalli suggests that Sporolithon can adapt to variable temperature environments through vegetative growth. Further research on other reef-building crustose coralline species is necessary for conservation planning.

Seasonal Upwelling Conditions Modulate the Calcification Response of a Tropical Scleractinian Coral

Carlos E. Gomez et al.

Summary: This study was conducted in a coral reef system in Tayrona National Natural Park in Colombia, aiming to quantify the net calcification rates of a foundational coral species in a temporal context of 6 months, taking into account the influence of seasonal upwelling. The results showed a significant increase in CaCO3 accretion during the upwelling season, indicating a positive response of the coral calcification to the upwelling conditions.

Bioerosion of reef-building crustose coralline algae by endolithic invertebrates in an upwelling-influenced reef

Alexandra Ramirez-Viana et al.

Summary: This study examined the percentages and rates of internal bioerosion by macroborer invertebrates in two dominant crustose coralline algae (CCA) species in the Colombian Caribbean. The results showed that rates of calcium carbonate removal by internal macroborers were higher in Lithoplyllum kaiseri compared to Porolithon antillarum, with mollusks identified as having the highest erosion activity. Despite no clear influence of climatic seasons on internal bioerosion, the high rates of CCA bioerosion may reduce reef consolidation in the region.
