Plasticity in Three-Dimensional Geometry of Branching Corals Along a Cross-Shelf Gradient

Plasticity in Three-Dimensional Geometry of Branching Corals Along a Cross-Shelf Gradient

Scleractinian corals often exhibit high levels of morphological plasticity, which is potentially important in enabling individual species to occupy benthic spaces across a wide range of environmental gradients. This study tested for differences in the three-dimensional (3D) geometry of three branchi...
