摘要

幼珊瑚的高死亡率阻碍了种群的自然恢复和恢复工作的成功实施。放牧是幼珊瑚死亡的重要原因,放牧隔离装置已被证明可以增加幼珊瑚的存活率。然而,大多数实验使用的笼子通常会改变水流和光照条件,这使得很难将放牧的非生物效应与放牧的非生物效应分开。在这里,我们测试了放牧威慑剂是否可以提高六个月大的Acropora数字化幼鱼的存活率和生长,这些幼鱼被安置在浅海礁顶,使用两个或四个长或短的石钉来设计,以物理上排除较大的食草动物(例如鹦嘴鱼),同时最大限度地减少非生物变化。在我们的研究结束时,与没有威慑剂的菌落相比,有威慑剂的菌落有更大的平面面积(最有效的处理几乎是10倍),更多的分枝,更高的高度和更高的存活率。本研究的一个关键时期是外植后的第一周,在这个时期,有威慑物的菌落比没有威慑物的菌落放牧造成的组织面积损失显著减少。第一周较低的面积损失与随后14个月的显着更高的生存率相关,最有效的治疗几乎提高了三倍。对于重度放牧系统,我们的研究强调了将放牧威慑物纳入外植装置的重要性,以抵消大型食草动物对新外植幼珊瑚的负面影响,并促进恢复成功。补充信息:在线版本包含补充资料,下载地址:10.1007/s00338-025-02703-z。

Grazing deterrents improve survival of outplanted juvenile corals.

High mortality of juvenile corals hinder both the natural recovery of populations and the successful implementation of restoration efforts. Grazing is a significant cause of juvenile coral mortality, and grazer exclusion devices have been shown to increase juvenile coral survivorship. However, most experiments have used cages that typically alter water flow and light conditions, making it difficult to separate abiotic effects from those of grazing. Here, we test whether grazing deterrents can increase the survival and growth of six-month-old Acropora digitifera juveniles outplanted to a shallow reef crest, using arrangements of two or four long or short masonry nails designed to physically exclude larger grazers (e.g., parrotfish) while minimising abiotic changes. By the end of our study, colonies with deterrents had significantly larger planar area (almost tenfold for the most effective treatment), more branches, greater height, and higher survival than those without deterrents. A critical period in this study was the first week after outplanting when colonies with deterrents had significantly less tissue area loss from grazing than those without. Lower area loss in the first week was associated with significantly higher survival over the following 14 months, with an almost threefold improvement for the most effective treatment. For heavily grazed systems, our study highlights the importance of incorporating grazing deterrents into outplant devices to counteract the negative impact of large grazers on newly outplanted juvenile corals and boost restoration success.

期刊介绍: Coral Reefs, the Journal of the International Coral Reef Society, presents multidisciplinary literature across the broad fields of reef studies, publishing analytical and theoretical papers on both modern and ancient reefs. These encourage the search for theories about reef structure and dynamics, and the use of experimentation, modeling, quantification and the applied sciences. Coverage includes such subject areas as population dynamics; community ecology of reef organisms; energy and nutrient flows; biogeochemical cycles; physiology of calcification; reef responses to natural and anthropogenic influences; stress markers in reef organisms; behavioural ecology; sedimentology; diagenesis; reef structure and morphology; evolutionary ecology of the reef biota; palaeoceanography of coral reefs and coral islands; reef management and its underlying disciplines; molecular biology and genetics of coral; aetiology of disease in reef-related organisms; reef responses to global change, and more.
