Supplementary Materials from Combined responses of primary coral polyps and their algal endosymbionts to decreasing seawater pH
With coral reefs declining globally, resilience of these ecosystems hinges on successful coral recruitment. However, knowledge of the acclimatory and/or adaptive potential in response to environmental challenges such as ocean acidification (OA) in earliest life stages is limited. Our combination of...
