ScLi15- Determine whether results оf а reseаrch study аnswer the research questiоn The fоllowing excerpt is from the study Sediment associated with algal turfs inhibits the settlement of two endangered coral species coauthored by Dr. Alain Duran (professor in our bio department) "Populations of Acropora palmata and Orbicella faveolata, two important reef-building corals, have declined precipitously across the Caribbean region since at least the 1970s. [...] Here, we examine the effects of algal turfs and algal turfs + sediment, two widely abundant substrate types across the Florida Keys, on the settlement of these two ecologically-important species. [...] Our study asked two main questions: 1) what is the relationship between the abundance of juvenile corals and the abundance of turf algae and turf algae associated with sediment on reefs and 2) how do algal turfs and turf associated with sediment impact settlement of reef-building coral larvae? To answer our first question, we surveyed six sites in the upper Florida Keys to quantify the abundance of turf algae associated with sediment (hereafter: turf + sediment) and the abundance of juvenile corals. To answer our second question, we used laboratory settlement assays to test the effects of turf algae and turf + sediment on larval settlement of Acropora palmata and Orbicella faveolata,[...] " What can researchers conclude from the results in Fig. 3?
