    Abstract Cosmic rays are believed to be mutagenic and can stimulate virus mutation through point mutations. Neutron count on Earth ground stations is a reliable proxy to quantify cosmic ray flux. A previous study reported that the maximum flux of cosmic rays in November 2019 could be related to the emergence of COVID-19 (late November to early December). Using the latest neutron count data, this study investigated if the data from 2019 to 2020 could specifically explain the emergence of pandemic (COVID-19). The results indicate that there is no significant difference between the previous two last solar minima datasets (2008-2009 and 2019-2020;

    Abstract Cosmic rays are believed to be mutagenic and can stimulate virus mutation through point mutations. Neutron count on Earth ground stations is a reliable proxy to quantify cosmic ray flux. A previous study reported that the maximum flux of cosmic rays in November 2019 could be related to the emergence of COVID-19 (late November to early December). Using the latest neutron count data, this study investigated if the data from 2019 to 2020 could specifically explain the emergence of pandemic (COVID-19). The results indicate that there is no significant difference between the previous two last solar minima datasets (2008–2009 and 2019–2020; n = 24, p = 0.60). This suggests that the solar minima of 2019–2020 did not experience an increase in cosmic rays and the emergence of COVID-19 could not be solely explained by cosmic ray flux caused by solar cycles (space weather change).

    Abstract BACKGROUND: To explore the possibility that endosymbiotic dinoflagellates (Symbiodiniaceae) are associated with coral calcification rates, we investigated the diversity of symbiotic algae in coral colonies with different calcification rates within massive and branching corals (Porites australiensis and Acropora digitifera). METHODS AND RESULTS: Genotyping symbiotic algae from colonies with different calcification rates revealed that all the colonies of both species harbored mainly Cladocopium (previously clade C of Symbiodinium). The Cladocopium symbionts in P. australiensis were mainly composed of C15 and C15bn, and those in A. digitifera of C50a and C50c. We did not detect clear relationships between symbiont compositions and calcification rates within the two coral species. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that different coral calcification rates within species may be attributed to genetic factors of coral hosts themselves and/or within symbiont genotypes.

    Abstract Coral skeletons preserve useful archival indicators from which to reconstruct past environments. We conducted temperature-controlled culture experiments (20, 22, 27, and 31°C) with primary polyps of Acropora digitifera to accurately assess the impact of a wide range of temperatures on the calcification rate and to methodically evaluate the skeletal trace elements (Sr/Ca, Mg/Ca, and Na/Ca ratios). Water temperatures positively affected the calcification rate up to 31°C, which exceeds the temperature threshold for this species. The calcification rates also varied widely (>20%) during each of the four temperature treatments. The skeletal Sr/Ca ratio was most strongly correlated with water temperature (R2=0.68, p<0.001), whereas the Mg/Ca and Na/Ca ratios showed lower correlations (R2=0.53, p<0.001; R2=0.34, p=0.011, respectively). The variations in the skeletal Sr/Ca, Mg/Ca, and Na/Ca ratios at the four different temperatures were 0.36%–1.20%, 0.83%–3.76%, and 0.52%–3.24%, respectively. Thus, the Sr/Ca ratio showed the least variation, despite the wide variations in the calcification rate. We confirm that the Sr/Ca ratio of A. digitifera juveniles is a robust proxy of temperature, regardless of variations in the calcification rate and the wide range of ambient temperatures. In addition, our results regarding skeletal Mg/Ca and Na/Ca ratios further our understanding of coral calcification processes.
