| Summary: | Physiological data (symbiont density, chlorophyll a content, protein abundance, photosynthetic maximum and light at saturating irradiance) were collected from Pocillopora acuta coral colonies raised under three temperature and acidification conditions (ambient present day, 2050 and 2100) following transfer into different experimental treatments over summer thermal stress to assess the potential of preconditioning to enhance coral thermal tolerance. Five treatments resulted following the transfer of ambient present day corals into the 2050 and 2100 conditions to examine if preconditioned corals had an enhanced performance compared to naive corals: ambient-control, acute 2050 (i.e. ambient transferred to 2050 conditions), preconditioned 2050, acute 2100 (i.e. ambient transferred to 2100 conditions), and preconditioned 2100. Data were collected at the Australian Institute of Marine Science and quantified following coral sampling via the following analyses: hemocytometer (cell density), spectrophotometer ... |
