    Symbiont community structure in Orbicella faveolata from Mermaid Reef and Sandy Cay Reef in Abaco, The Bahamas in January 2019
    (Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO). Contact: bco-dmo-data@whoi.edu, 2021-11-15) Parker, Katie ; Cunning, Ross
    This dataset contains results from genus-specific qPCR assays to quantify the abundance of Symbiodinium, Breviolum, Cladocopium, and Durusdinium symbionts relative to coral cells in Orbicella faveolata from Abaco, The Bahamas in January 2019. Bulk genomic DNA was extracted from tissue scrapings collected by SCUBA divers, and used as a template for qPCR assays. Resulting CT values were used to calculate symbiont to host cell ratios for each symbiont genus within each coral. The publication based on these data can be found here: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00338-020-01948-0. For a complete list of measurements, refer to the full dataset description in the supplemental file 'Dataset_description.pdf'.

    Once one of the predominant reef-building corals in the region, Acropora cervicornis is now a focal species of coral restoration efforts in Florida and the western Caribbean. Scientists and restoration practitioners have been independently collecting phenotypic data on genets of A. cervicornis grown in restoration nurseries. While these data are important for understanding the intraspecific response to varying environmental conditions, and thus the potential genetic contribution to phenotypic variation, in isolation these observations are of limited use for large-scale, multi- institution restoration efforts that are becoming increasingly necessary. Here, we present the Acropora cervicornis Data Coordination Hub, a web-accessible relational database to align disparate datasets to compare genet-specific performance. In this data descriptor, we release data for 248 genets evaluated across 38 separate traits. We present a framework to align datasets with the ultimate goal of facilitating informed, data-driven restoration throughout the Caribbean.
