Spatial variation in the morphological traits of Pocillopora verrucosa along a depth gradient in Taiwan.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2018

Soto Derek, De Palmas Stephane, Ho Ming Jay, Denis Vianney, Chen Chaolun Allen

Abstract excerpt

Pocillopora verrucosa is a widely distributed depth-generalist coral that presents plasticity in its skeletal macro- and microstructure in response to environmental gradients. Light and water movement, which covary with depth, are the main environmental drivers of morphological plasticity in this genus; however, assessing environmentally-induced plasticity may be confounded by the extent of interspecific...
