0:00:07corals
0:00:08spun once a year
0:00:11and it's a so this is linked to
0:00:14the sea surface temperature with the moon it with them and cycle lunar cycles
0:00:19so at the end of summer when it gets warmer
0:00:23six to seven days after the four
0:00:26three and a half hours after sunset
0:00:28so is different in florida a the and
0:00:30in mexico done in panama
0:00:33because this onsets at different times so you sort of have to me there
0:00:37and
0:00:38if you miss and then you have to wait another year what is really spectacular
0:00:42we put the nets out then we see don't known and wait for several hours
0:00:46on the boat and then we go back in
0:00:49and nothing happens nothing happened inside me it's is that the scenery for everybody
0:00:54it's really seen the gamma mates and it's beautiful it's really
0:00:58striking
0:01:01joey a the german student
0:01:02so that all these guys in florida are doing the same thing
0:01:07that
0:01:07we've been doing for the past two years
0:01:10and she was trying to get worried my god replicating the study and i said
0:01:15no well this just
0:01:16find out what they're doing and then maybe we can compare our results and it
0:01:21sort of developed from that so the question was whether there is
0:01:27genetic component
0:01:29two
0:01:31the response of larvae sister more stress
0:01:34and can we
0:01:37this sign
0:01:39protection strategies and man image management strategies for corals in one location that would
0:01:45be effective for a location in a different place
0:01:48and
0:01:49these
0:01:50sort of a situation give us the opportunity to compare these two different populations from
0:01:57florida and from mexico and their similar conditions when these sp on and they are
0:02:02exposed to higher sea surface temperatures because is the end of summer
0:02:08it how are they gonna cope with increasing sea surface temperatures over the years
0:02:12what turned out is that there is a very strong geographic component
0:02:17to the response so
0:02:19in other words the
0:02:21the populations from mexico may not respond the same way as the populations from florida
0:02:27and that needs to be taking into consideration
0:02:30when we
0:02:32this sign feature conservation strategies
