Abstract excerpt
In comparison to some corals, massive Porites spp. is physiologically resilient to environmental assaults and is becoming more abundant on coral reefs. To evaluate the extent to which thick tissues contribute to this physiological resilience, we tested the hypothesis that the Symbiodinium in Porites lutea are phenotypically and genetically homogeneous with regard to their distribution vertically within the...
