Live macroalgae and cyanobacteria can deter coral settlement

Effects of Dictyota spp. on Porites astreoides
1) Live Dictyota pinnatifida, Dictyota pulchellaand both crude extracts reduced larval survival.
2) Recruits were killed by Dictyota pulchella extract.
3) In adult colonies, PAM measurements indicated that Dictyota pinnatifida, Dictyota pulchella and their extracts did not cause physiological stress.

Global vs. Local StressorsGlobal stressorWe compared 27° C to 30° C
seawater temperature.This ocean temperature was
achieved in the Fl. Keys every year from 1998-2008.
Local stressorMicrocolin A was isolated from the
Florida cyanobacterium Lyngbya polychroa.

Global and Local StressorsLocal stressors such as the presence of cyanobacteria can greatly reduce coral survival and settlement through allelopathy.
A global stressor such as increased seawater temperature interacted with local stressors to kill coral larvae.
