Effects of variability in daily light integrals on the photophysiology of the corals Pachyseris speciosa and Acropora millepora.
Phototrophic sessile organisms, such as reef corals, adjust their photosynthetic apparatus to optimize the balance of light capture versus protection in response to variable light availability (photoacclimation). In shallow marine environments, daily light integrals (DLI) can vary several-fold in re...
