Irradiance driven trophic plasticity in the coral Madracis pharensis from the Eastern Mediterranean

Abstract The distribution of symbiotic scleractinian corals is driven, in part, by light availability, as host energy demands are partially met through translocation of photosynthate. Physiological plasticity in response to environmental conditions, such as light, enables the expansion of resilient...
