corals
spun once a year
and it's a so this is linked to
the sea surface temperature with the moon it with them and cycle lunar cycles
so at the end of summer when it gets warmer
six to seven days after the four
three and a half hours after sunset
so is different in florida a the and
in mexico done in panama
because this onsets at different times so you sort of have to me there
and
if you miss and then you have to wait another year what is really spectacular
we put the nets out then we see don't known and wait for several hours
on the boat and then we go back in
and nothing happens nothing happened inside me it's is that the scenery for everybody
it's really seen the gamma mates and it's beautiful it's really
striking
joey a the german student
so that all these guys in florida are doing the same thing
that
we've been doing for the past two years
and she was trying to get worried my god replicating the study and i said
no well this just
find out what they're doing and then maybe we can compare our results and it
sort of developed from that so the question was whether there is
genetic component
two
the response of larvae sister more stress
and can we
this sign
protection strategies and man image management strategies for corals in one location that would
be effective for a location in a different place
and
these
sort of a situation give us the opportunity to compare these two different populations from
florida and from mexico and their similar conditions when these sp on and they are
exposed to higher sea surface temperatures because is the end of summer
it how are they gonna cope with increasing sea surface temperatures over the years
what turned out is that there is a very strong geographic component
to the response so
in other words the
the populations from mexico may not respond the same way as the populations from florida
and that needs to be taking into consideration
when we
this sign feature conservation strategies
