Coral restoration research and technical developments: what we have learned so far (2019, background): “On an experimental scale, the use of neuropeptide Hym-248 promotes induction of settlement and metamorphosis in acroporid larvae, although permanent settlement of larvae is not always achieved (Iwao et al. 2002).”
The relative contribution of dinoflagellate photosynthesis and stored lipids to the survivorship of symbiotic larvae of the reef-building corals (2010, background): “Because larvae generally require certain cues for settlement and metamorphosis (e.g., Heyward and Negri 1999; Iwao et al. 2002 ), they did not settle in the plastic dishes.”
Effects of acidified seawater on early life stages of scleractinian corals (Genus Acropora) (2009, background): “A 20-ll aliquot of 2 9 10-4 M Hym-248 in filtered seawater (FSW: pore size 0.22 lm) was added to a well of a 6-well plastic culture plate.”
Sexual production of corals for reef restoration in the Anthropocene (2020, background): “Similarly, the neuroactive signalling peptide GLW-amide induces metamorphosis in acroporid corals and can be readily synthesised, but permanent attachment of larvae is not always achieved (Iwao et al. 2002, Erwin & Szmant 2010, Tebben et al. 2015).”
