Light induced intraspecific variability in response to thermal stress in the hard coral Stylophora pistillata
Recent research suggests that prior exposure of several months to elevated irradiance induces enhanced thermal tolerance in scleractinian corals. While this tolerance has been reported at the species level, individual coral colonies may react differently due to individual variability in thermal tole...
