Coral persistence in the Anthropocene depends on interactions among holobiont partners (coral animals and microbial symbionts) their environment. Cryptic coral lineages—genetically distinct yet morphologically similar groups—are critically important as they often exhibit functional diversity relevant to thermal tolerance. In addition, environmental parameters such variability may promote tolerance, but how interacts with shape responses challenge remains unclear. Here, we identified three...
Abstract Coral persistence in the Anthropocene is shaped by interactions among holobiont partners (coral animals, microbial symbionts) and their environment. Cryptic coral lineages–genetically distinct yet morphologically similar groups–are critically important as they often exhibit functional diversity relevant to thermal tolerance.
