Acropora subulata (Dana 1846)

cc-0-1.0

Acropora subulata is a species of cnidarians in the family staghorn corals. They are listed in cites appendix ii. Dead Acropora subulata form shallow marine sediments. Acropora subulata form marine reefs. They have asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction; they are broadcast spawners.

URI: http://eol.org/schema/terms/CITES_II
Definition: Appendix II lists species that are not necessarily now threatened with extinction but that may become so unless trade is closely controlled. It also includes so-called "look-alike species", i.e. species whose specimens in trade look like those of species listed for conservation reasons. International trade in specimens of Appendix-II species may be authorized by the granting of an export permit or re-export certificate. No import permit is necessary for these species under CITES (although a permit is needed in some countries that have taken stricter measures than CITES requires). Permits or certificates should only be granted if the relevant authorities are satisfied that certain conditions are met, above all that trade will not be detrimental to the survival of the species in the wild. (See Article IV of the Convention)

competitive
- URI: http://eol.org/schema/terms/competitive
- Definition: Competitors are species that thrive in areas of low intensity stress and disturbance and excel in biological competition. These species are able to outcompete others by most efficiently tapping into available resources. Competitors do this through a combination of favorable characteristics, including rapid growth rate, high productivity and high capacity for phenotypic plasticity.
