| ABSTRACT The Tayrona National Natural Park, located on the Colombian Caribbean coast, has a coastline shaped by cliffs and bays in its western part, with the presence of coral formations. In 2005, a coral formation dominated by Acropora palmata affected by lesions similar to those caused by White Pox disease was found in Cinto bay. Subsequently, 15 lesions were followed and photographed in three different occasions (May and August 2006 and March 2007), coinciding with the two contrasting climatic seasons of the region. Permanent growth was found in all lesions with an average of 0.8 cm2/day . Contrary to what was observed with white pox and other diseases in the region, these lesions did not stop growing when the temperature dropped in the first months of... |

| ABSTRACT Dead Acropora palmata branches colonized by the excavating sponge Cliona tenuis are prone to dislodgement, breakage, and translocation during heavy surge and swell from storms or hurricanes, favoring the dispersion of this sponge. At Islas del Rosario (Colombia, Caribbean), adult C. tenuis carried by A. palmata fragments that fell onto live massive corals were able to colonize the new coral, subsequently killing live tissue of the newly invaded coral. Corals that recruited onto fallen A. palmata branches overgrown with adult C. tenuis were also invaded once the sponge reached their base. To determine if the incidence of this phenomenon has increased since 2002 when it was first documented, the mode and prevalence of colonization of corals by C.... |
