Photoacclimation and adaptation of hermatypic coral species across environmental gradients

Light is often the most abundant resource within the nutrient poor waters surrounding coral reefs. Consequently, both photoacclimation and photoadaptation of the host and Symbiodinium play a crucial role in ensuring coral success. This thesis systematically examined responses (phenotypic and genotyp...

This thesis systematically examined responses (phenotypic and genotypic) of hermatypic corals across environmental gradients by 1) characterising variability between different isolated Symbiodinhim types under different light regimes, 2) examining the role of the host in photoacclimation using laboratory and in situ transplant experiments, and 3) assessing photoacclimation and photoadaptation strategies in four key coral species across habitats to determine key drivers of coral distribution.593.6University of Essexhttp://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.496253Electronic Thesis or Dissertation
