Abstract Coral holobionts are multi-species assemblages, which adds significant complexity to genotype-phenotype connections underlying ecologically important traits like coral bleaching. Small scale heterogeneity in bleaching is ubiquitous the absence of strong environmental gradients, provides adaptive variance needed for long-term persistence reefs. We used RAD-seq, qPCR and LC-MS/MS metabolomics characterize host genomic variation, symbiont community biochemical correlates two phenotypes...
Abstract The long-term persistence of coral reefs under climate change requires heritable drivers thermal tolerance which support adaptation. genomic basis has been evaluated across strong spatial and environmental gradients, but this variation also exists within populations due to neutral evolutionary processes. Small scale heterogeneity in bleaching is ubiquitous, so we used corals from a single reef examine signatures performance, their biochemical correlates the downstream consequences...
