Bioerosion by euendoliths decreases in phosphate-enriched skeletons of living corals
While the role of microboring organisms, or euendoliths, is relatively well known in dead coral skeletons, their function in live corals remains poorly understood. They are suggested to behave like ectosymbionts or parasites, impacting their host's health. However, the species composition of mi...
