Short-Term Thermal Acclimation Modifies the Metabolic Condition of the Coral Holobiont

Short-Term Thermal Acclimation Modifies the Metabolic Condition of the Coral Holobiont

The nutritional symbiosis between coral hosts and photosynthetic dinoflagellates is fundamental to the functioning of coral reefs. Rising seawater temperatures destabilize this relationship, resulting in drastic declines in world-wide coral cover. Thermal history is thought to play an important role...
