Bacterial Community Shifts during Polyp Bail-Out Induction in Pocillopora Corals
ABSTRACT Polyp bail-out constitutes both a stress response and an asexual reproductive strategy that potentially facilitates dispersal of some scleractinian corals, including several dominant reef-building taxa in the family Pocilloporidae. Recent studies have proposed that microorganisms may be inv...
