The discovery of multi-species synchronous spawning of scleractinian corals on the Great Barrier Reef in the 1980s stimulated an extraordinary effort to document spawning times in other parts of the globe. Unfortunately, most of these data remain unpublished which limits our understanding of regional and global reproductive patterns. The Coral Spawning Database (CSD) collates much of these disparate data into a single place. The CSD includes 6178 observations (3085 of which were unpublished) of the time or day of spawning for over 300 scleractinian species in 61 genera from 101 sites in the Indo-Pacific. The goal of the CSD is to provide open access to coral spawning data to accelerate our understanding of coral reproductive biology and to provide a baseline against which to evaluate any future changes in reproductive phenology.
20 世纪 80 年代，人们在大堡礁发现了石珊瑚的多物种同步产卵现象，这激发了人们极大的努力，促使人们记录全球其他地区的产卵时间。遗憾的是，这些数据大多仍未公布，这限制了我们对区域和全球繁殖模式的理解。珊瑚产卵数据库（CSD）将这些分散的数据汇集到一个地方。CSD 包括了来自印度洋-太平洋地区 101 个地点的 61 属 3085 个已公布和 6178 个未公布的石珊瑚物种的 3085 个产卵时间或日的观察结果。CSD 的目标是提供对珊瑚产卵数据的开放访问，以加速我们对珊瑚繁殖生物学的理解，并提供一个基线，以评估未来繁殖物候学的任何变化。
