Description

Researchers examined the effects of vermetids on the growth and survival of three species of coral in Moorea, French Polynesia as well as the relationship between the proportion of dead coral and the number of vermetids.

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

Divers surveyed covariance between dead reef substrate in 103 22.36 x 22.36 cm quadrats placed hapharzardly on monotypic patches of coral (Montipora, Porites lobata, Porites rus, Pocillopora). They counted the number of live Ceraesignum (formerly Dendropoma) maximum (>5mm in aperature diameter) in the quadrat and visually estimated the proportion of dead coral.
