Host age is not a consistent predictor of microbial diversity in the coral Porites lutea.

Scientific reports - 1 Sept 2020

Abstract excerpt

Corals harbour diverse microbial communities that can change in composition as the host grows in age and size. Larger and older colonies have been shown to host a higher diversity of microbial taxa and this has been suggested to be a consequence of their more numerous, complex and varied micro-niches available. However, the effects of host age on community structure and diversity of microbial associates remain...
