... photophysiology and metabolomic profiling to explore changes that accompany longer-term photoacclimation in a key Great Barrier Reef coral species, Acropora muricata . High light (HL)- and low light (LL)-acclimated corals were collected from the reef and reciprocally exposed to high and low light ex situ . Rapid...

... temperatures and transient heatwaves. Here, we tested this prediction in three species of damselfishes on the Great Barrier Reef, Australia. Maximum thermal limits were quantified using critical thermal maxima (CT max ) tests following acclimation to either present-day or end-of-century levels of CO 2...

... (Caryophyllidae) and Heteropsammia cochlea (Dendrophylliidae) – common on biogenic coarse carbonate sand of the Great Barrier Reef but absent from fine sand at the same depth. In coarse carbonate sand, light penetrates a few millimeters below the surface and propagates along horizontal distances of a few...

... from the two forms where pooled to limit the number of experimental animals required. The experiments were conducted in October 2002 at Lizard Island Research Station (LIRS) on the northern Great Barrier Reef (14°40′ S 145°28′ E). G. histrio , of both forms, weighing 0.43–2.02 g ( histrio form...
