Distinction in Symbiodiniaceae and Bacterial Communities and Symbiodiniaceae Lineage-Specific Transcriptome Underpinning the Superior Heat Tolerance of Intertidal Acropora Corals.

Abstract excerpt

Fine-scale thermal heterogeneity within intertidal and subtidal microhabitats could drive divergence in organismal heat tolerance. Reef corals from the extreme intertidal may hold optimism for the future of coral reefs and give insights into the mechanisms by which coral may persist under future conditions. Here, we compared the thermal sensitivities of intertidal and subtidal Acropora digitifera and evaluated...
