There are many reasons why so few natural chemical inducers have been fully characterized. Larvae may respond to specific cues that are present only at very low concentrations therefore, obtaining adequate amounts of these inducers for purification and structural work may be problematic. The problem of adequate material may be particularly troublesome for the waterborne inducers and has hampered the study of the water-soluble cue from Porites corals that induces settlement in Phestilla sibogae. A second problem is the low number of collaborations between natural products chemists and larval biologists in the study of natural chemical inducers. However,...

Fig. 2.3.3. Dispersion of the carbon isotopic composition of the hermatypic scleractinian genera Acropora, Porites, and Montipora, all living in shallow-water, surface-reef environments at 18 different, widely-scattered localities. The length of the horizontal bar corresponds to the mean one standard deviation. Figures in parentheses indicate the number of individual coral specimens of the three genera analyzed (Weber, 1974).

Some organism-specific calibrations are shown in Figure 4. They include results from controlled culture experiments with the two planktonic foraminiferal species Globigerinoides sacculifer and Orbulina universa (Sanyal et al. 1996, 2001) and the coral species Porites cylindrica and two species of Acropora (Honisch et al. 2004 Reynaud et al. 2004).
