“…The seasonal timing of spawning for A. millepora and A. nasuta is consistent with observations from elsewhere within the coral triangle (e.g., Singapore, north-western Philippines, Indonesia) (Guest et al, 2002, Vicentuan et al, 2008, Permata et al, 2012.…”

Knowledge about the timing and synchrony of coral spawning has important implications for both the ecology and management of coral reef ecosystems, however, data on spawning timing and extent of synchrony are still lacking for many coral reefs, particularly from equatorial regions and from locations within the coral triangle. Here we present the first documentation of a multi-species coral spawning event from reefs around Pulau Tioman, Peninsular Malaysia, a popular diving and tourist destination located on the edge of the coral triangle. At least 8 coral species from 3 genera and 2 families participated in multi-species spawning over five nights in April 2014, between two nights before and two nights after the full moon. Two Acropora species (A. digitifera and A. tenuis) also spawned one night prior to the full moon in October 2014. While two species of Acropora (A. millepora and A. nasuta) exhibited highly synchronous spawning in April (100% of sampled colonies), two other common species (A. hyacinthus and A. digitifera) did not contain visible eggs in the majority of colonies sampled (i.e., <15% of colonies) in either April or October, suggesting that these species spawn at other times of the year. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first detailed documented observation of multi-species coral spawning from reefs in Malaysia and these data support the contention that this phenomenon is a feature of all speciose coral assemblages. More research is needed, however, to determine the seasonal cycles and extent of spawning synchrony on these reefs and elsewhere in Malaysia.PeerJ PrePrints | http://dx.doi.org/10.7287/peerj.preprints.645v1 | CC-BY 4.0 Open Access |

“…In Indonesia, a second spawning season has been observed in the autumn, involving mostly merulinids and agariciids (Permata et al. ). Similarly, in Palau, two distinct spawning seasons occur, with the first one dominated by acroporids, and the second dominated by merulinids and poritids (Penland et al.…”

“…In Western Australia, corals spawn primarily in the Australian autumn, but several species that spawn in the autumn also spawn in the spring; however, mostly different individuals have been reported to spawn in the autumn and in the spring, with a small proportion of individuals observed to spawn in both seasons, during some years (Rosser & Gilmour 2008;Gilmour et al 2009Gilmour et al , 2016Rosser 2013;Baird et al 2011). In Indonesia, a second spawning season has been observed in the autumn, involving mostly merulinids and agariciids (Permata et al 2012). Similarly, in Palau, two distinct spawning seasons occur, with the first one dominated by acroporids, and the second dominated by merulinids and poritids (Penland et al 2004;.…”

“…In some locations such as in the GBR, Western Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Palau, two reproductive periods have been identified. In the secondary spawning period, either the same individuals that spawned in the primary spawning period spawn a second time (two gametogenetic cycles per year), different individuals from the same species spawn a second time, or different species spawn during each spawning period (Stobart et al 1993, Penland et al 2004Wolstenholme 2004;Rosser & Gilmour 2008;Baird et al 2009a;Permata et al 2012;Rosser 2013;Chelliah et al 2015;Gilmour et al 2016).…”

“…For example, highly synchronous spawning, both within and among species, is not restricted to higher latitude reefs as earlier hypothesized (Oliver et al 1988). In particular, multi-species synchronous spawning events (sensu Willis et al 1985) are now described for > 25 locations globally (Baird et al 2009b, Kongjandtre et al 2010, Bouwmeester et al 2011, Permata et al 2012). In addition, coral reproduction in most regions is highly seasonal, with the vast majority of reproductive activity concentrated in 2 to 3 months each year (Baird et al 2009a).…”

Despite a recent expansion in the geographic extent of coral reproductive research, there remain many regions in the Indo-Pacific where knowledge is limited. For example, Lord Howe Island is the southernmost reef system in the world (31°S); however, very little is known of the reproductive biology of the coral fauna. Here, aspects of the reproductive biology and the timing of reproduction for 40 of the approximately 65 species that occur on Lord Howe Island are documented. In December 2010, field assessments of the stage of gamete maturity in Acropora spp. colonies suggested that 5 species
