Symbiont community stability through severe coral bleaching in a thermally extreme lagoon
Abstract Coral reefs are threatened by climate change as coral-algal symbioses are currently living close to their upper thermal limits. The resilience of the algal partner plays a key role in determining the thermal tolerance of the coral holobiont and therefore, understanding the acclimatory limit...
