碩士 / 國立中興大學 / 生命科學系所 / 106 / Since the Industrial Revolution, the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere has risen rapidly, resulting in ocean acidification (OA) and warming, which has threatened coastal ecosystems. Highly productive seagrasses usually live adjacent to or among coral reefs and can absorb CO2 in seawater, regulate the pH and the aragonite saturation state (ΩAr). The purpose of this study was to use coral reefs mesocosms to examine the effects of seagrasses on co...

Very little is known about the association between Symbiodinium dinoflagellates, which perform the majority of primary production in coral reefs, and metazoan larvae. This thesis performed three experiments on the association between Symbiodinium and Mussismilia hispida (coral), Berghia stephanieae (nudibranch) and Tridacna crocea (giant clam) larvae. The first experiment monitored the expression of a symbiosis-specific gene in Symbiodinium clade A associated with the three larval forms during a...

Two phases of reef sampling were carried out. The first included regular samples taken along the coastline of Aqaba (27km long) at depths of 4-15m, and used to determine spatial distribution of pollution. The second phase included three 20cm-deep cores obtained from within the industrial zone. These cores were drilled from pre-dated communities, where the growth rate was determined earlier to be 10mm y-1, therefore the core obtained represented a period of 20 years (i.e. 1980-2000). The cores we...

碩士 / 國立臺灣大學 / 海洋研究所 / 105 / To reverse the global degradation of coral reefs, understanding what contributes to their capacity to recover from disturbance, defined as resilience, is fundamental. Habitat complexity contributes to recoveries by linking the reciprocal feedback between corals and herbivores. Coral skeletons enhance habitat complexity and create micro-habitats for herbivores, which in turn remove benthic algae and release space for further coral growth. With both empirical and modell...
