The acclimatization potential of Acropora millepora was investigated through transplantation and experimental manipulation. Twenty-two colonies were sourced from each of a cool southern inshore reef (North Keppel Island) and a cool central offshore reef (Davies Reef) and transplanted to a warm insho...
