Feeding and thermal conditioning enhance coral temperature tolerance in juvenile <italic toggle="yes">Pocillopora acuta</italic>

Scleractinian corals form the foundation of coral reefs by acquiring autotrophic nutrition from photosynthetic endosymbionts (Symbiodiniaceae) and use feeding to obtain additional nutrition, especially when the symbiosis is compromised (i.e. bleaching). Juvenile corals are vulnerable to stress due t...
