Phenotypic Variance Predicts Symbiont Population Densities in Corals: A Modeling Approach

BACKGROUND: We test whether the phenotypic variance of symbionts (Symbiodinium) in corals is closely related with the capacity of corals to acclimatize to increasing seawater temperatures. Moreover, we assess whether more specialist symbionts will increase within coral hosts under ocean warming. The...
