Abstract

This dataset includes estimates of bleaching mortality and colony size for different Pocillopora haplotypes at Moorea in 2019. These data have been published in Figure 5, Figure 6, and Table 1 of Burgess et al. (2021).

Tissue was collected in February 2019 from a total of 68 colonies from Sites 1 (n = 7), 2 (n = 30), 3 (n = 19), and 5 (n = 12). Of these 68 colonies, 51 colonies were tracked between February 2019 (before the bleaching) and August 2019 (after the bleaching). Tissue was collected in August from a total of 394 colonies from Sites 1 (n = 65), 2 (n = 69), 3 (n = 42), 4 (n = 83), 5 (n = 68), and 6 (n = 67).

The mitochondrial Open Reading Frame (mtORF) marker, using the FATP6.1 and RORF primers found in Flot et al. (2008), was used to haplotype individuals. P. meandrina and P. eydouxi were differentiated using a restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) gel-based assay following Johnston et al. (2018). Samples were identified to haplotype based on previously published sequences of mtORF haplotypes, using the naming conventions in Pinzón and LaJeunesse (2011), Pinzón et al. (2013), Forsman et al. (2013), Edmunds et al. (2016), and Johnston et al. (2017).
