The roles and interactions of symbiont, host and environment in defining coral fitness.

The roles and interactions of symbiont, host and environment in defining coral fitness.

BACKGROUND: Reef-building corals live in symbiosis with a diverse range of dinoflagellate algae (genus Symbiodinium) that differentially influence the fitness of the coral holobiont. The comparative role of symbiont type in holobiont fitness in relation to host genotype or the environment, however,...
