“…While it is difficult to disentangle differences in mortality due to size and age from other causes related to the timing of outplant (e.g. temperature, seasonal storms), numerous other studies have shown mortality risk in corals to be strongly related to colony size, with smaller corals tending to be more vulnerable (Babcock 1991;Smith and Hughes 1999;Raymundo and Maypa 2004;Vermeij and Sandin 2008).…”

“…Few brittle stars smaller than 3 mm disc diameter were mature, but most large individuals had gonads. Size thresholds for sexual maturity are common in many organisms, including plants ( Bierzychudek 1984, Dupont & Kato 1999 and marine invertebrates (Karlson 1986, Mladenov & Emson 1988, Kapela & Lasker 1999, Smith & Hughes 1999). Females and males exhibited slight but significant differences in the sizes at which they reached maturity.…”

“…Tradeoffs between sexual reproduction and division may arise if resources for asexual reproduction must be diverted away from the production of gametes (Emson & Wilkie 1980) or if cloning results in the division of a single large individual into several small clonemates that are less likely to be able to sustain the energetic costs of sexual reproduction (e.g. Hughes & Jackson 1985, Karlson 1986, Smith & Hughes 1999. Trade-offs between sexual and asexual reproduction have been suggested in a variety of other clonal taxa (e.g.…”

“…It was apparent from the real-time PCR that this method was disruptive enough to induce herpes-like viral particle production albeit at a reduced level compared with the other stressors. However, naturally occurring damage to corals results from predation, weathering events like hurricanes and earthquakes, and human activities, such as the aquarium coral and ornamental fish trade, recreational diving, and research (53). Our experimental design may have inadvertently mimicked fragmentation and small scale predation on corals.…”
