PeerJ 3 e1239 https dx.doi.org 10.7717 peerj.1239. The snail, Coralliophila abbreviata, is a common generalist corallivore and can be a major contributor to Caribbean acroporid tissue mortality. Considering the imperiled status of Acropora palmata and A. cervicornis, understanding the interactions of factors contributing to acroporid tissue loss can contribute to enhanced conservation strategies. This data set examined variation in prey choice of C. abbreviata based on host-origin, prey condition, and potential social interaction using paired choice assay experiments with A. cervicornis prey sourced from a field nursery. Choice assays were conducted adjacent to the nursery in flow-through y-maze boxes mounted on cinder blocks. Choice treatments compared preference for a healthy fragment versues a diseased fragment, or a mechanically damaged fragment, or a fragment with immediate snail predation. In the last type of choice assay, snails were presented a healthy coral fragment versus a solitary snail with no coral. Preference of the target snail was scored by travelling down the y-maze toward one of the two pairwise choices offered. To determine if corallivorous snails display a preference for coral prey with disease or other compromised condition completed Litz, Jenny 305-361-4224 305-365-4102 75 Virginia Beach Drive Miami FL 33139 Jenny.Litz@noaa.gov custodian notPlanned https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/archive/accession/0162230/1.1/about/0162230_map.jpg jpg VISUAL OBSERVATIONS > VISUAL OBSERVATIONS instrument Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Instrument Keywords 17.2 1091 Evaluation of ESA listed Acropora spp. Status and Recovery Actions theme CRCP Project Geographic Information > Biology theme CoRIS Discovery Thesaurus EARTH SCIENCE > Biological Classification > Animals/Invertebrates> Mollusks > Gastropods EARTH SCIENCE > Biosphere > Ecological Dynamics > Predation > Coral Predation EARTH SCIENCE > Biosphere > Zoology > Corals > ESA Listed Species EARTH SCIENCE > Oceans > Marine Biology > Coral theme CoRIS Theme Thesaurus Acropora Cervicornis Acropora palmata Coralliophila abbreviata theme ITIS 0162230 162230 theme NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER US DOC; NOAA; NMFS; Southeast Fisheries Science Center; Miami, FL Laboratory theme NODC COLLECTING INSTITUTION NAMES ANIMALS - INDIVIDUAL - BEHAVIOR CORAL BIOLOGICAL DATA theme NODC DATA TYPES CORAL - SPECIES IDENTIFICATION theme NODC DATA TYPES biological laboratory analyses theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPE visual observation theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES CORAL REEF STUDIES Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP) theme NODC PROJECT NAMES US DOC; NOAA; NMFS; Southeast Fisheries Science Center theme NODC SUBMITTING INSTITUTION NAMES oceanography theme WMO_CategoryCode OCEAN BASIN > Atlantic Ocean > North Atlantic Ocean > Florida Reef Tract > Florida Keys (24N081W0007) COUNTRY/TERRITORY > United States of America > Florida > Monroe County > Florida Keys (24N081W0007) place CoRIS Place Thesaurus Coastal Waters of Florida Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary place NODC SEA AREA NAMES North Atlantic Ocean place NODC SEA AREA NAMES visual observation instrument NODC INSTRUMENT TYPES DOC/NOAA/NMFS/SEFSC > Southeast Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2017-04-24 publication 8.5 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.
