title: Temperature data collected at Cerro Mundo Bay, San Cristobal, Galapagos from July 2019 to August 2022 using an Onset HOBO Water Temperature Pro v2 Data Logger

description: Increased standing macroalgal biomass in upwelling zones is generally assumed to be the result of higher nutrient flux due to upwelled waters. However, other factors can strongly impact macroalgal communities. For example, herbivory and temperature, via their effects on primary producers and the metabolic demands of consumers, can also influence macroalgal biomass and productivity, respectively.  Although there are a fair number of studies looking at the interactive effects of herbivores and nutrients in both tropical and temperate regions, there is a lack of studies looking at these effects in tropical or subtropical upwelling regions. The purpose of this study was to measure the effects that herbivores, temperature, and nutrient availability have on standing macroalgal biomass. We manipulated nutrient availability and herbivory in six field experiments during contrasting productivity and thermal regimes (cool-upwelling and warm, non-upwelling season) on a subtidal nearshore rocky reef. 

Here, we present a set of temperature (°C) data collected at Cerro Mundo Bay, San Cristobal, Galapagos from July 2019 to August 2022. The environmental temperature was recorded every 15 minutes using a HOBO Water Temperature Pro v2 Data Logger (Onset®) attached to the seafloor at a 10 meters depth mark.

title: Census of heat tolerance among Florida's threatened staghorn corals from a study of Acropora cervicornis conducted from August to October 2020

description: The rapid loss of reef-building corals owing to ocean warming is driving the development of interventions such as coral propagation and restoration, selective breeding and assisted gene flow. Many of these interventions target naturally heat-tolerant individuals to boost climate resilience, but the challenges of quickly and reliably quantifying heat tolerance and identifying thermotolerant individuals have hampered implementation. Here, we used coral bleaching automated stress systems to perform rapid, standardized heat tolerance assays on 229 colonies of Acropora cervicornis across six coral nurseries spanning Florida's Coral Reef, USA. Analysis of heat stress dose–response curves for each colony revealed a broad range in thermal tolerance among individuals (approx. 2.5°C range in Fv/Fm ED50), with highly reproducible rankings across independent tests (r = 0.76). Most phenotypic variation occurred within nurseries rather than between them, pointing to a potentially dominant role of fixed genetic effects in setting thermal tolerance and widespread distribution of tolerant individuals throughout the population. The identification of tolerant individuals provides immediately actionable information to optimize nursery and restoration programs for Florida's threatened staghorn corals. This work further provides a blueprint for future efforts to identify and source thermally tolerant corals for conservation interventions worldwide.

title: Total organic carbon content, total nitrogen content, and carbon isotope (13C and 14C) composition of atmospheric particulates from aerosol samples collected on the R/V Dong Fang Hong-3 in the western North Pacific from October to December 2019

description: These data include the content of total organic carbon and total nitrogen, and carbon isotope (13C and 14C) composition of atmospheric particulates collected in the western North Pacific. On-ship aerosol sampling was conducted on the R/V Dong Fang Hong-3 during a cruise to the western North Pacific from October 31 to December 1, 2019. Sampling was conducted using two portable aerosol particle samplers (model 2030, Qingdao Laoying Environmental Technology Co.) with a filter size of 9 cm O.D. Recognizing the deposition of atmospheric particulates has the potential to further understanding of the role of atmospheric deposition in the carbon cycle and biogeochemistry in the ocean. These data assess the contribution of atmospheric deposition to organic carbon and were conducted by Prof. XuChen Wang of the Key Laboratory of Marine Chemistry Theory, Ocean University of China, Qingdao 266100, China.

title: Particulate Th data from samples collected on 5 cruises at Station ALOHA off Hawaii and Station M off California from 2019 to 2020

description: The abyssal plains of the oceans cover roughly half of the earth's surface, host enormous reservoirs of biodiversity and mineral resources, and play important roles in nutrient regeneration and carbon sequestration. The most important process controlling the structure and function of these ecosystems is the quantity and quality of food (mostly sinking organic particles) that reaches the deep-sea floor. The goals of this research were to evaluate the relative importance of small and large particles that sink to the deep-sea using the naturally occurring short-lived radionuclide, 234Th. Particulate and dissolved samples were collected throughout the water column (12-17 depths) during 5 cruises in the productive waters off of California (Station M, May and October 2019) within the nutrient-poor central Pacific, north of Hawaii (Station ALOHA, July 2019 and January and July 2020). Total water column (2 L) and particulate 234Th activities collected using in situ pumps (53 um, 1 um, and 0.3 um) have been measured in all of the samples collected from the 5 cruises: April 2019, July 2019, October 2019, January 2020, and July 2020. This dataset includes the particulate Th measurements. Total Th is available in a separate, related dataset.

title: Data pertaining to the development of larvae past the planula stage from experiments investigating heat priming in Nematostella vectensis

description: Across diverse taxa, sublethal exposure to abiotic stressors early in life can lead to benefits such as increased stress tolerance upon repeat exposure. This phenomenon, known as hormetic priming, is largely unexplored in early life stages of marine invertebrates, which are increasingly threatened by anthropogenic climate change. To investigate this phenomenon, larvae of the sea anemone and model marine invertebrate Nematostella vectensis were exposed to control (18 °C) or elevated (24 °C, 30 °C, 35 °C, or 39 °C) temperatures for 1 hour at 3 days post-fertilization (DPF), followed by return to control temperatures (18 °C). The animals were then assessed for growth, development, metabolic rates, and heat tolerance at 4, 7, and 11 DPF. To investigate a possible molecular mechanism for the observed changes in heat tolerance, the expression of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) was quantified at 11 DPF. The study's findings suggest heat priming may augment the climate resilience of marine invertebrate early life stages via the modulation of key developmental and physiological phenotypes, while also affirming the need to limit further anthropogenic ocean warming.

title: Female fecundity following parental ocean acidification during lab experiments conducted in spring 2022.

description: Ocean acidification (OA) resulting from anthropogenic CO2 emissions is impairing the reproduction of marine organisms. While parental exposure to OA can protect offspring via carryover effects, this phenomenon is poorly understood in many marine invertebrate taxa. We examined how parental exposure to acidified (pH 7.40) versus ambient (pH 7.72) seawater influenced reproduction and offspring performance across six gametogenic cycles (13 weeks) in the estuarine sea anemone Nematostella vectensis. This dataset pertains to the reproductive physiology of adult organisms from this study: female fecundity.
