MCR LTER: Coral Reef: Modeling the effects of selectively fishing key functional groups of herbivores on coral resilience; data for Cook et al., 2023 Ecosphere
These data and code were generated in support of the manuscript: Cook DT, Schmitt RJ, Holbrook SJ, and HV Moeller, Ecosphere. To investigate the impacts of selectively harvesting functional groups of herbivorous fishes on coral resilience, we used a dynamic model that is grounded by the coral reef system in Moorea, French Polynesia. Our model simulates the fraction of a reef occupied through time by classes of key benthic spaceholders (coral, two stages of macroalgae, and turf). Benthic and fishing dynamics are linked through the harvesting of two functional groups of herbivorous fishes. We utilize data collected on the abundance of fishes on the reef and in the catch in Moorea, French Polynesia to inform our model and to empirically explore patterns of fishing selectivity. These data and code were published in Ecosphere and were a part of the thesis of D. Cook (2023). This manuscript uses data collected by the U.S. National Science Foundation's (NSF) Moorea Coral Reef Long Term Ecological Research (MCR LTER) site under Grant No. OCE 2224354 (and earlier awards). Additional financial support to the MCR LTER site was provided through a generous gift from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. Research was completed under permits issued by the French Polynesian Government (Délégation à la Recherche) and the Haut-commissariat de la République en Polynésie Francaise (DTRT) (Protocole d'Accueil 2005-2023).
MCR LTER: Coral Reef: Patterns and implications of spatial covariation in herbivore functions on resilience of coral reefs
These data and code were generated in support of the manuscript: Cook DT, Holbrook SJ, and Schmitt RJ, Scientific Reports. In 2017, we collected biological and physical data from 20 sites along the north shore of Moorea, French Polynesia, to investigate spatial patterns in grazing and browsing functions of herbivorous fishes, environmental correlates, and implications for coral resilience. In addition to the data collected at the 20 north shore sites, we conducted a 10-day field experiment to assess the relationship between browsing intensity and potential of reversing a coral-to-macroalgae shift. This material uses data collected by the U.S. National Science Foundation's (NSF) Moorea Coral Reef Long Term Ecological Research (MCR LTER) site under Grant No. OCE 2224354 (and earlier awards). Additional financial support to the MCR LTER site was provided through a generous gift from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.

MCR LTER: Coral Reef Resilience: North Shore Herbivorous Fish Counts, Habitat Associations, and Substrate, 2010
These data describe the species abundance, size distributions, and habitat associations of roving herbivorous fishes (fishes belonging to the families, Acanthuridae, Scaridae, and Siganidae) found in different habitats in the lagoon and forereef on the north shore of Moorea. Adult fishes and large juveniles were counted (and their size estimated) by a SCUBA diver or snorkeler on thirty-four 50 m by 5 m wide transects. After counting large fishes, the entire transect was swam a second time, with the diver looking exclusively for small juvenile fishes on a 1 m swath. In addition to recording the species identity and estimated size of each juvenile encountered, the diver also recorded the particular microhabitat each individual or group of individuals was associated with. Finally, to quantify the relative availability of different types of microhabitat, the diver conducted point contacts where the primary benthic substrate was identified at regular (1 m) intervals on the same transect. This material is based upon work supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation under Grant No. OCE 16-37396 (and earlier awards) as well as a generous gift from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. Research was completed under permits issued by the French Polynesian Government (Délégation à la Recherche) and the Haut-commissariat de la République en Polynésie Francaise (DTRT) (Protocole d'Accueil 2005-2018). This work represents a contribution of the Moorea Coral Reef (MCR) LTER Site.
MCR LTER: Coral Reef Resilience: Herbivore Bite Rates on the North Shore Forereef July-August 2010
These data describe bite rates of two abundant species of roving herbivorous fishes found on the forereef, Chlorurus sordidus (Scaridae), and Ctenochaetus striatus (Acanthuridae). During several days in July and August 2010, a SCUBA diver followed individual focal fish for a period of up to 5 minutes and recorded the number of bites taken as well the types of substrates bitten. Upon randomly locating a focal individual, divers estimated the total length of that individual as well as their depth at the initiation (and termination) of the observation. Data are organized in two data tables. The first data table (Focal_Herbivore_Bite_Rates) contains individuals that were observed at two depths (~ 10 m and ~ 17 m) at LTER 1 as part of a balanced sampling design (see Sampling Protocol/Design). The second data table (Additional_Bite_Rate_Data) contains individuals that were observed opportunistically at LTER 1 and Resilience 2. To minimize the effect of time of day on fish behavior, all data were collected between 10:00 and 16:00, a period of time which corresponds with peak feeding rates for many herbivorous fishes. This material is based upon work supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation under Grant No. OCE 16-37396 (and earlier awards) as well as a generous gift from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.

MCR LTER: Coral Reef Resilience: Short-term Accumulation of Algal Biomass on Unglazed Ceramic Tiles from July 2010-August 2011
Caged tiles were placed at various sites to measure short-term algal accumulation in the absence of grazing by fishes or large invertebrates. These data document biomass of algae that accumulated on unglazed ceramic tiles (2.5 cm X 2.5 cm) placed inside cages (mesh size = 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm) at various sites around the island of Moorea for a period of 3 to 4 weeks. Three separate experiments were conducted (one during July-August 2010 and two in July-August 2011). In the first experiment (2010_Production), we measured the accumulation of algae after 24 days at two different depths on the forereef (10 and 17 m), and within the lagoon at four different distances from the reef crest (approximately 25, 100, 400, and 700 m). In the second experiment (2011_Production_Summary), we measured the accumulation of algae after 24 or 25 days at six forereef sites (LTER 1, Resilience 2, LTER 3, LTER 4, LTER 5, LTER 6). In this experiment, tiles were placed adjacent to the fish transects (see knb-lter-mcr.6) at a depth of 12 m. In the final experiment (Production_Time_Series), we measured the accumulation of algae on tiles at three day intervals over a period of 31 days. This experiment was conducted at Resilience 2. This material is based upon work supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation under Grant No. OCE 16-37396 (and earlier awards) as well as a generous gift from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. Research was completed under permits issued by the French Polynesian Government (Délégation à la Recherche) and the Haut-commissariat de la République en Polynésie Francaise (DTRT) (Protocole d'Accueil 2005-2018).

MCR LTER: Coral Reef Resilience: Algae, Coral, and Sediment data from Grazing Intensity Experiment, 2010 - 2012
These data describe the percent cover of benthic space holders (primarily algae), the biomass of algae and sediment, and the number of corals recruiting on 15 cm X 15 cm terra cota tiles experimentally manipulated on the forereef on the north shore of Moorea. The experiment was established to test whether and how different levels of grazing influence benthic community development. Five treatments were initially established to create a gradient in grazing pressure with a sixth treatment established shortly thereafter. Each treatment was replicated ten times using a randomized block design. Each cage initially contained four tiles, and one tile from each cage has been photographed and destructively sampled for biomass at regular intervals. In addition to the original tiles deployed in July 2010, tiles were subsequently deployed in March 2011, August 2011, and March 2012 to test whether community development varies among seasons. This material is based upon work supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation under Grant No. OCE 16-37396 (and earlier awards) as well as a generous gift from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. Research was completed under permits issued by the French Polynesian Government (Délégation à la Recherche) and the Haut-commissariat de la République en Polynésie Francaise (DTRT) (Protocole d'Accueil 2005-2018).

MCR LTER: Coral Reef Resilience: Benthic Dynamics on 5m by 5m Plots on the Forereef, 2009 - 2011
These data describe the dynamics of corals, invertebrates, and fishes on 5 m X 5 m plots on the forereef following an outbreak of corallivorous crown-of-thorns seastars (Acanthaster planci) that caused mass coral mortality (see Adam et al. 2011). Twenty plots were first established at Resilience 2 during July 2009. Half of these plots were randomly assigned to a structure removal treatment and all dead coral structure was removed by divers, while the other half remained unmanipulated. Following the establishment of these plots, in February 2010 this site was impacted strongly by tropical cyclone Oli with the result that most of the structure was removed from all plots. Consequently, during July 2010, a structure/no structure experiment was initiated on ten plots (5 removals and 5 controls) at a site not impacted by Cyclone Oli (Resilience 3). Finally, during July 2011, five unmanipulated plots were established at each of four additional sites (Resilience 1, 4, 5, 6) so that community trajectories could be compared among sites. Counts of fishes, invertebrates, and corals are made regularily (at least annually). Coral and invertebrate counts are each separated into two data tables to reflect slightly different methodology. Initial coral counts included counts (and size estimates) of all stony corals, while later counts focused on corals from three genera, Pocillopora, Acropora, and Porites. Initial counts of invertebrates did not include information on size; all invertebrates were measured in later counts. In addition to in situ counts, all plots are photographed annually in 0.5 m by 0.5 m segments (e.g., 100 photos per plot). This material is based upon work supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation under Grant No. OCE 16-37396 (and earlier awards) as well as a generous gift from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.

MCR LTER: Coral Reef Resilience: Live and Dead Pocillopora and Acropora Coral Colony Time Series from 2006 to 2011
These data describe the abundance, size structure, and morphologies of living and dead corals belonging to the genera Pocillopora and Acropora on the forereef (depth = 10 meters) in 2006, 2009, 2010, and 2011. Data were derived from a randomly chosen subset of photo quadrats associated with knb-lter-mcr.4. For each quadrat, individual coral colonies were identified to genus, scored as living or dead, and the total area of their footprint calculated. In addition, branch morphology was scored on a scale from 1 to 3, with 1 representing very tight spacing, and 3 representing open spacing among adjacent branches. This material is based upon work supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation under Grant No. OCE 16-37396 (and earlier awards) as well as a generous gift from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. Research was completed under permits issued by the French Polynesian Government (Délégation à la Recherche) and the Haut-commissariat de la République en Polynésie Francaise (DTRT) (Protocole d'Accueil 2005-2018).

MCR LTER: Coral Reef Resilience: Juvenile Parrotfish Habitat Associations at North Shore Fringe and Backreef in March 2011
These data describe habitat associations of juvenile parrotfish (Scaridae) encountered during systematic searches at LTER 1 and LTER 2 fringing reef and back reef sites during March 2011. At each site SCUBA divers or snorkelers identified, counted, and estimated the sizes of juvenile parrotfish and recorded the microhabitat that each individual or group of individuals was associated with on two 100 m x 10 m wide transects (n = 8 transects total). Upon encountering a juvenile or group of juveniles, the surveyor recorded the microhabitat type that fishes were first seen to be closest to. They also closely observed the behavior of fishes to see if they were utilizing a particular microhabitat as shelter, and if so this was also recorded. Several groups of fishes first observed to be grazing on hard substrate or on macroalgae quickly retreated into the nearby coral Porites rus when approached. Hence for these individuals we considered the initial habitat they were associated with (e.g., hard substrate or macroalgae) to be their primary microhabitat, but also noted that they were associated with Porites rus for shelter.
MCR LTER: Coral Reef Resilience: Turbinaria Alternate State Experiment
These data describe the density of Turbinaria ornata stipes from experimentally manipulated 1 m X 1 m plots on the forereef and naturally occurring 1 m X 1 m patches on the fringing reefs. In this pilot experiment Turbinaria were transplanted from the fringing reef to the forereef at 10 m depth to test whether it persists upon establishment. This material is based upon work supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation under Grant No. OCE 16-37396 (and earlier awards) as well as a generous gift from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. Research was completed under permits issued by the French Polynesian Government (Délégation à la Recherche) and the Haut-commissariat de la République en Polynésie Francaise (DTRT) (Protocole d'Accueil 2005-2018).
