The use of tanks enabled the regulation of certain environmental factors, and, hence, the evaluation of specific responses of the corals to these factors. For both species, growth and survival were much better in the field than in the land-based tanks most probably due to unrestricted water circulation. Since the two species were subjected to identical experimental treatments, it was possible to distinguish inherent differences between them in terms of responses to external variables. Porites cylindrica was more susceptible than P. rus to predation by corallivores. Predators, as well as grazers, occurred in significant numbers in the field, but not in the land-based tanks. Porites rus, on the other hand, succumbed more readily to overgrowth by macroalgae which thrived in the culture tanks presumably because of significantly higher nutrient levels and the conspicuous absence of grazers. These results have broader ecological implications because of accelerated environmental changes taking place in present-day reefs due to human impact. Major examples are eutrophication and alterations in water circulation which frequently result in sub-optimal conditions for coral survival and growth.}, number={7}, journal={Marine Pollution Bulletin}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Yap, Helen T and Molina, Reverie Alvarez}, year={2003}, month={Jul}, pages={858–864} }

Transplants were in two sizes (nubbin, ∼8 cm in length; and fist-sized, ∼8 cm in diameter) and deployed at two depths (1 and 10 m). Specimens at the shallow depth had more rapid growth than the deeper ones. Light had significant effects on coral growth while temperature, salinity, water motion and sedimentation did not. Smaller corals consistently registered greater percentage increases in size as compared to the larger ones. Small transplants of P. cylindrica showed higher percentage growth rates than those of P. rus. Contrary to expectations, there were no differences in transplant mortality due to size. Over the course of the experiment, mortality was generally confined to the shallow depth. It was brought about either by algal competition or by strong water movement.}, number={1}, journal={Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Yap, H.T and Alvarez, R.M and Custodio, H.M, III and Dizon, R.M}, year={1998}, month={Oct}, pages={69–84} }
