A community change in the algal endosymbionts of a scleractinian coral following a natural bleaching event: field evidence of acclimatization
The symbiosis between reef-building corals and their algal endosymbionts (zooxanthellae of the genus Symbiodinium) is highly sensitive to temperature stress, which makes coral reefs vulnerable to climate change. Thermal tolerance in corals is known to be substantially linked to the type of zooxanthe...
