Sensitivity of Calcification to Thermal Stress Varies among Genera of Massive Reef-Building Corals

Reductions in calcification in reef-building corals occur when thermal conditions are suboptimal, but it is unclear how they vary between genera in response to the same thermal stress event. Using densitometry techniques, we investigate reductions in the calcification rate of massive Porites spp. fr...
