Abstract

The incidence and spatial distribution patterns of Caribbean Yellow Band Disease (CYBD) on the important frame-builder coral Montastraea faveolata were assessed by counting, tagging, and mapping all diseased and healthy colonies for one year in each of three 100 m2 quadrats on two inner, mid-shelf, and shelf-edge reefs off La Parguera, Puerto Rico. Healthy colonies were checked every month from January to December of 2009 to monitor disease spread within each quadrant. Incidence increased significantly from winter (0.7±0.8% SE) to summer (1.5±1.1% SE, n=23, Sign Test; Z=2.40; P=0.01). Mid-shelf reefs had the highest host abundance and showed significantly higher CYBD incidence (2.1±1.4% SE, n=14) compared to the other zones (H=9.74; df=2; P=0.04). The increased incidence in the summer suggests that warmer months favor development of CYBD on M. faveolata. Results showed aggregated patterns of CYBD when all colonies (i.e., healthy
波多黎各La Parguera地区加勒比黄带病的发病率和空间分布
在波多黎各La Parguera的两个内、中大陆架和大陆架边缘珊瑚礁上的三个100 m2样方中,每一个样方对所有患病和健康的群落进行了一年的计数、标记和测绘,以评估加勒比黄带病(CYBD)在重要框架构建珊瑚蒙塔斯特拉菲奥拉塔上的发病率和空间分布模式。2009年1月至12月,每月对健康菌落进行检查,以监测每个象限内的疾病传播情况。发病率从冬季(0.7±0.8% SE)到夏季(1.5±1.1% SE)显著升高,n=23, Sign检验;Z = 2.40;P = 0.01)。中陆架珊瑚礁的宿主丰度最高,CYBD发生率(2.1±1.4% SE, n=14)显著高于其他区域(H=9.74, df=2;P = 0.04)。夏季发病率的增加表明,温暖的月份有利于CYBD在蚕豆上的发展。结果显示,当所有菌落(即健康的
