| contents | Acclimation and size influence predation, growth, and survival of sexually produced Diploria labyrinthiformis used in restoration. Ladd, Mark C Shantz, Andrew A Harrell, Cailin Hayes, Nicole K Gilliam, David S Muller, Erinn M O'Neil, Keri L Reckenbeil, Brian Craig, Zachary Lirman, Diego Animals Anthozoa Predatory Behavior Coral Reefs Acclimatization Florida Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) has swept through Florida reefs and caused mass mortality of numerous coral species. In the wake of these losses, efforts are underway to propagate coral species impacted by SCTLD and promote population recovery. However, numerous knowledge gaps must be addressed to effectively grow, outplant, and restore populations of the slower growing, massive species that were lost. Here, we used sexual recruits of Diploria labyrinthiformis spawned in captivity to understand how conditioning, coral size, and nutritional status at outplanting affect coral survivorship, growth, and susceptibility to predation. We found that ex situ conditioning with supplemental feeding increased coral growth rates, resulting in larger sized corals at the time of outplanting. In turn, these corals had higher growth rates in the field and a lower probability of being removed by predators than outplants that were conditioned in in situ nurseries. Additionally, we found that coral size was an important predictor of survivorship, suggesting that hastening the speed at which young corals grow and outplanting larger juveniles can improve restoration outcomes. Taken together, our results suggest that providing supplemental food to corals at ex situ facilities confers benefits that could help restore populations of massive coral species impacted by SCTLD. |
