Abstract

Indo-Pacific sun corals (Tubastraea spp.) are aggressive competitors capable of disrupting the structure and function of natural reef habitat in the western Atlantic. Sun corals observed on rope debris entangled on an artificial reef in the Florida Keys suggest a potential dispersal mechanism for the colonization of natural reef habitat.

非本地太阳珊瑚(管珊瑚属)在佛罗里达群岛珊瑚礁生态系统中对海洋垃圾的殖民。

印度-太平洋太阳珊瑚(Tubastraea spp.)是具有侵略性的竞争者，能够破坏西大西洋天然珊瑚礁栖息地的结构和功能。在佛罗里达群岛的人造礁上观察到的太阳珊瑚在绳索碎片上缠绕，这表明了自然珊瑚礁栖息地殖民化的潜在扩散机制。

期刊介绍： The Bulletin of Marine Science is a hybrid open access journal dedicated to the dissemination of research dealing with the waters of the world’s oceans. All aspects of marine science are treated by the Bulletin of Marine Science, including papers in marine biology, biological oceanography, fisheries, marine policy, applied marine physics, marine geology and geophysics, marine and atmospheric chemistry, meteorology, and physical oceanography. In most regular issues the Bulletin features separate sections on new taxa, coral reefs, and novel research gear, instrument, device, or system with potential to advance marine research (“Research Tools in Marine Science”). Additionally, the Bulletin publishes informative stand-alone artwork with accompany text in its section "Portraits of Marine Science."
