Abstract
We report the first observation of conjoined larvae (CL) in the scleractinian coral Pocillopora acuta. Colonies at an elevated temperature had a higher ratio of CL (29 °C; 1:200) than colonies at an ambient temperature (26 °C; 1:500). CL demonstrated normal swimming ability and capacity for settlement, metamorphosis, and asexual budding.
期刊介绍：
The Bulletin of Marine Science is a hybrid open access journal dedicated to the dissemination of research dealing with the waters of the world’s oceans. All aspects of marine science are treated by the Bulletin of Marine Science, including papers in marine biology, biological oceanography, fisheries, marine policy, applied marine physics, marine geology and geophysics, marine and atmospheric chemistry, meteorology, and physical oceanography. In most regular issues the Bulletin features separate sections on new taxa, coral reefs, and novel research gear, instrument, device, or system with potential to advance marine research (“Research Tools in Marine Science”). Additionally, the Bulletin publishes informative stand-alone artwork with accompany text in its section "Portraits of Marine Science."
