Modulation of light-enhancement to symbiotic algae by light-scattering in corals and evolutionary trends in bleaching.
Calcium carbonate skeletons of scleractinian corals amplify light availability to their algal symbionts by diffuse scattering, optimizing photosynthetic energy acquisition. However, the mechanism of scattering and its role in coral evolution and dissolution of algal symbioses during "bleaching&...
