Ha'apai-one of my favorite archipelagos in the world. Eleven days (Sept. 11-21) were spent surveying the reefs of this remote, scarcely populated region. If you would like the photos in a more convenient format, such as an iPhoto library, please email me, and I will post it on Google Drive. This page features sites TOHA01-TOHA15 (Sept. 11-16) while this page includes sites TOHA18-TOHA32 (Sept. 17-21). Did not dive at sites TOHA16-17 (Sept. 17).
TOHA01 (Sept. 11, 2013): habitat shots
TOHA01 sampled colonies (n=6). There was no photo of colony 4 (Pocillopora acuta): JMP, supplemental data.
TOHA02 (same day): did not dive
TOHA03 (Sept. 12, 2013): habitat shots (no sampled colonies)
TOHA04 (Sept. 12, 2013): habitat shots (no colonies sampled)
Colony 9: this sample was not processed due the DNA extraction having failed. Supplemental data can be found here.
TOHA05 (Sept. 12, 2013): No habitat shots taken, nor were there images of the three corals sampled there (colonies 7-9).
colony 7 (Pocillopora acuta): JMP, Excel supplemental data
colony 8 (Pocillopora damicornis): JMP, Excel supplemental data
TOHA06 (Sept. 13, 2013): habitat shots
TOHA07 (Sept. 13, 2013): no habitat shots. Three colonies sam-pled.
TOHA08 (Sept. 13-14, 2013): no habitat shots
TOHA08 sampled colonies (n=5)
TOHA09 (Sept. 14, 2013) sampled colonies (n=8). No habitat shots
TOHA10 (Sept. 14, 2013): habitat shots
TOHA10 sampled colonies (n=3). Did not dive at TOHA11-12 (went to land instead).
TOHA13 (Sept. 15, 2013): habitat shots
TOHA13 sampled colonies (n=2)
TOHA14 (Sept. 16, 2013)- one colony sampled: colony 31 (Pocillopora acuta; no picture). This sample was not analyzed in detail due to a failed RNA extraction: supplemental data
TOHA15 (Sept. 16, 2013): habitat shots
TOHA15 sampled colonies (n=4)
