Discussion

Observations reveal two peak periods of coral spawning during monsoonal transitions, highlighting environmental influences.

Significant correlations exist between larger coral spawning events and environmental factors like sea surface temperatures.
Coral colonies exhibited variations in reproductive strategies, including asynchronous and split-spawning behaviors.
This research outlines the timing of spawning events for various coral species, enhancing understanding of community dynamics.
The findings provide a critical baseline for future studies on coral ecosystems in response to climate change.

Errington et al. (2025) studied this question.
