A connection between colony biomass and death in Caribbean reef-building corals.

A connection between colony biomass and death in Caribbean reef-building corals.

Increased sea-surface temperatures linked to warming climate threaten coral reef ecosystems globally. To better understand how corals and their endosymbiotic dinoflagellates (Symbiodinium spp.) respond to environmental change, tissue biomass and Symbiodinium density of seven coral species were measu...
