Acquisition Description: <p>Coral collection<br />
<br />
Corals were collected in 2015 from each of the six study sites (See Supplemental File “coral_collection_location_list.csv). Unsafe weather conditions lead to several delays during sampling which caused coral collection to span an 11-week period (between 17 August and 13 November). Eight species of coral, from three genera were sampled: Montipora capitata (branching and encrusting), Montipora flabellata (encrusting), Montipora patula (encrusting), Porites compressa (branching), Porites lobata (massive), Porites evermanni (massive), Pocillopora meandrina (branching), and Pocillopora acuta (branching) (McLachlan et al. submitted, Fig. 1). The Y and B morphs of P. damicornis that were historically common in Kāne'ohe Bay (Richmond and Jokiel 1984), appear to correspond to the cryptic species P. damicornis and P. acuta (Johnston et al. 2018). Recent studies have found that P. acuta has become the dominant species and that P. damicornis is now rare in Kāne'ohe Bay (Gorospe et al. 2015; Johnston et al. 2018), so we focus on P. acuta in this study. Due to the natural zonation in coral species distributions, not all eight species were found in all six locations. To minimize the impact of collection, only the most commonly available species were sampled at each site. From each site, between nine and fifteen coral ramets (each from a different genet) of each commonly available species were collected from 0.5–5 m depth yielding a total of 422 samples (McLachlan et al. submitted, Table 1). Genets were confirmed by genotyping about half of the colonies (232 of the 422 colonies sampled) using available species-specific microsatellite markers (Concepcion et al. 2010; Gorospe and Karl 2013), and no identical multilocus genotypes were found within a site, suggesting very low probability that any were clonally derived. Each coral ramet was 5–10 cm in size and was removed from larger parent genets using a hammer and chisel. None of the coral ramets included in this study were visibly pale or severely bleached. Samples were immediately frozen at -20 °C, stored at HIMB, and later shipped to The Ohio State University, Ohio, USA, where they were stored at -80 °C.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>Physiological data</em></p>
<p>Encrusting algae and boring organisms were removed from the surface of each coral ramet using a Dremel tool fitted with a diamond tipped bit (Dremel Inc., Racine, WI). Each coral ramet was split into two pieces: one for biochemical and one for isotopic analysis.</p>
<p>The coral pieces designated for biochemical physiological analyses were photographed from all sides and the photographs processed in the software ImageJ (Rasband 1997) to estimate surface area using the geometric method (Naumann et al. 2009). Each coral piece was then individually ground into a fine homogenous paste using a chilled mortar and pestle, partitioned into subsamples designated for each biochemical analysis, and stored at -80 °C. Analyses of total chlorophyll <em>a </em>and<em> c2 </em>concentration, total soluble protein, total tissue biomass, and total soluble lipid concentration (henceforth referred to as chlorophyll, protein, biomass, and lipid, respectively) were conducted based on methods modified from Jeffrey and Humphrey (1975), Bradford (1976), Grottoli et al. (2004), and Rodrigues and Grottoli (2007). Briefly, chlorophyll was extracted from ground coral samples using a double extraction in 100 % acetone, and the absorbance at 630, 663, and 750 nm wavelengths was measured using a spectrophotometer.<br />

<p>The coral pieces designated for stable isotope analyses were prepared using methods modified from Hughes et al. (2010) and a detailed protocol is deposited in <em>Protocols.io</em> (Price et al. 2020). All isotope samples were combusted using a PDZ Europa ANCA-GSL elemental analyzer interfaced to a PDZ Europa 20-20 isotope ratio mass spectrometer (Sercon Ltd., Cheshire, UK) at the University of California Davis Stable Isotope Facility. The carbon isotopic signature of the animal host (δ<sup>13</sup>C<sub>h</sub>), and algal endosymbiont (δ<sup>13</sup>C<sub>e</sub>), were reported as the per mil deviation of the stable isotopes <sup>13</sup>C:<sup>12</sup>C relative to Vienna Peedee Belemnite Limestone Standard. The nitrogen isotopic signature of the animal host (δ<sup>15</sup>N<sub>h</sub>), and algal endosymbiont (δ<sup>15</sup>N<sub>e</sub>), were reported as the per mil deviation of the stable isotopes <sup>14</sup>N:<sup>15</sup>N relative to air.&nbsp; At least 10 % of all measurements were made in duplicate, and the standard deviation of duplicate sample analyses were ±0.09 ‰ for δ<sup>13</sup>C<sub>h</sub>, ±0.21 ‰ for δ<sup>13</sup>C<sub>e</sub>, ±0.06 ‰ for δ<sup>15</sup>N<sub>h</sub>, and ±0.12 ‰ for δ<sup>15</sup>N<sub>e</sub>. Differences between δ<sup>13</sup>C<sub>h</sub> and δ<sup>13</sup>C<sub>e</sub> of each ramet were used to assess the relative contribution of photosynthetically and heterotrophically derived C in coral tissues [<em>sensu </em>Muscatine et al. (1989) and Rodrigues and Grottoli (2006)]. The lower the δ<sup>13</sup>C<sub>h</sub> - δ<sup>13</sup>C<sub>e</sub> value, the greater the relative contribution of heterotrophically versus photoautotrophically derived carbon to coral tissues, and vice versa for larger δ<sup>13</sup>C<sub>h</sub> - δ<sup>13</sup>C<sub>e</sub> values (Muscatine et al. 1989; Rodrigues and Grottoli 2006; Levas et al. 2013; Schoepf et al. 2015; Grottoli et al. 2017). Conversely, the lower the δ<sup>15</sup>N<sub>h-e</sub> – δ<sup>15</sup>N<sub>h-e</sub> value, the lower the relative contribution of heterotrophically derived nitrogen to coral tissues (Conti-Jerpe et al. 2020).<br />

Phenotype and genotype of coral adaptation and acclimatization to global change

Phenotype and genotype of coral adaptation and acclimatization to global change
<p><strong>Project Summary:</strong><br /><em>Overview: </em>This study proposes to evaluate the adaptation and acclimatization capacity of eight species of Hawaiian corals to long-term exposure of elevated temperature and ocean acidification (OA) conditions using a two-part approach: 1) a survey of natural corals found across natural temperature and pCO2 gradients and 2) a two-year long mesocosm study which will expose corals collected in part 1 to a range of temperature and pCO2 conditions expected this century. In both approaches, the phenotypic (i.e., physiological and biogeochemical) responses of corals to future climate change will be measured in conjunction with the already funded genotypic (i.e., genomic and transcriptomic) responses of the same corals by Dr. Rob Toonen. This study will address variation at both the population and species level. It will also be the first study to examine the effects of elevated temperature and pCO2 on corals in replicated mesocosms over a multiannual timeframe with a comprehensive suite of physiological, biogeochemical, and genomic tools.</p>
<p><em>Intellectual Merit: </em>Coral reefs are among the most diverse ecosystems on the planet, housing an estimated 25% of marine species. Yet, they appear to be especially susceptible to the effects of climate change and ocean acidification. To date, the assumption has been that corals will not be able to adapt because the rates of anthropogenically driven ocean acidification and climate change are too high. But there is little experimental evidence to evaluate that assumption. Recent models highlight the critical importance of that assumption in determining coral extinction risk, and several recent studies (including a couple of recent ones from Grottoli’s group) indicate that previous studies may have underestimated the potential for corals to acclimatize or adapt to global change. Here, quantitative, empirical estimates of the potential for long-term coral acclimatization and adaptation under global change scenarios will be made. The proposed study includes ~97% of the corals in the Hawaiian archipelago, yielding extensive spatial and biological relevance for the study. Lastly, this research brings together the expertise of Grottoli at OSU (coral physiologist and biogeochemist), Toonen at UH (marine molecular biologist), and McCulloch at UWA (geochemist) in a unique collaboration that blends a large suite of genetic, physiological, and biogeochemical tools to build an unprecedentedly comprehensive picture of coral adaptation and acclimation to global change. Thus, this work has the potential to transform our conceptual and empirical understanding of how corals respond to rapid environmental change.</p>
<p><em>Broader Impacts:</em> Half of the species in the Hawaiian archipelago are endemic, making Hawaiian coral reefs a high priority for biodiversity conservation. Results from the proposed work will be used for adaptive management plans that collaborator Dr. Toonen is involved in with the goal of preserving Hawaiian coral biodiversity in a UNESCO World Heritage Site -- the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument (PMNM). PMNM encompasses the northwestern Hawaiian Islands, is renowned as one of the most pristine and highly protected coral reefs remaining on the planet, is the single largest conservation area under the U.S. flag, and one of the largest marine conservation areas in the world. This project will provide a bridge between short-term, single-species studies and longer-term, multi-species responses to global change in reef community settings. Findings from this work will be communicated at scientific meetings, through peer-reviewed journal publications, and via press releases. Grottoli will also bring her research and enthusiasm for marine science into her classrooms and onto the podium when giving general audience and professional talks. She has an established track record of recruiting and promoting under-represented students and will continue to do so. This project will recruit 3 undergrads and 2 high school students for supported senior thesis/independent research and provide an environment that will foster their passion and skills necessary to pursue career options in STEM disciplines.</p>
