Two and a half days (2015-03-12 to 03-14) were spent surveying and sampling around Danger Island (BiDi08-16.5; n=10 sites). Corals of the genus Seriatopora were not found there, and only very few P. damicornis colonies were seen (n=3), all of which (ChPd13-15) were sampled from a fringing reef not found on the map posted below; see GPS coordinates for site 16.5 in the master data file.
BiDi08 (2015-03-12) Neither P. acuta/damicornis nor Seriatopora spp. observed at this site. Instead sampled P. verrucosa-like colonies for a collaborator.
BiDi09 (2015-03-12) Neither P. acuta/damicornis nor Seriatopora spp. observed at this site. Instead sampled P. verrucosa-like colonies for a collaborator.
BiDi10 (2015-03-12) Neither P. acuta/damicornis nor Seriatopora spp. observed at this site. Instead sampled other Pocillopora spp. for a collaborator.
BiDi11 (2015-03-12) did not dive
BiDi12 (2015-03-13) Neither P. acuta/damicornis nor Seriatopora spp. observed at this site. Instead sampled other Pocillopora spp. for a collaborator.
BiDi13 (2015-03-13) Neither P. acuta/damicornis nor Seriatopora spp. observed at this site. Instead sampled other Pocillopora spp. for a collaborator.
BiDi14 (2015-03-13) Neither P. acuta/damicornis nor Seriatopora spp. observed at this site. Instead sampled other Pocillopora spp. for a collaborator.
BiDi15 (2015-03-14) Neither P. acuta/damicornis nor Seriatopora spp. observed at this site. Instead sampled other Pocillopora spp. for a collaborator.
BiDi16 (2015-03-14) Neither P. acuta/damicornis nor Seriatopora spp. observed at this site. Instead sampled other Pocillopora spp. for a collaborator.
BiDi16.5 (2015-03-14) Just me and a dive buddy went to this shallow fringing reef to hunt for P. damicornis colonies, and we found three (ChPd13-15).
