We examined the long-term repro - ductive consequence of bleaching stress on Carib- bean corals in the Orbicella (formerly Montastraea) species complex (O. annularis, O. faveolata, and O. franksi). Over 2000 observations of spawning in 526 tagged corals in Panama were made from 2002 through 2013. Bleaching events were noted in 2005 and 2010. At the population level, a re - duction in spawning persisted for several years following each bleaching event. In 2010, (1) the bleaching event did not alter the timing of spawn- ing, nor coral survivorship or tissue loss; (2) both bleached and unbleached corals had a reduced probability of spawning for several years follow- ing the bleaching event, and corals that visibly bleached were less likely to spawn than corals that did not visibly bleach; (3) the species that was affected most by the bleaching event (O. annularis) recovered the ability to spawn in fewer years compared to the species least affected by the bleaching event (O. franksi); and (4) in O. franksi, the species with the widest depth distribution, recovery in the likelihood to spawn was not depth related, although individuals at greater depths were less likely to bleach. In sum, corals that recover from bleaching events can experience long-term re duction in reproduction, over time scales that can bridge the interval between sub sequent bleaching events. This may be catastrophic for the long-term maintenance of the population.
