Coral trophic pathways impact the allocation of carbon and nitrogen for egg development after bleaching

The persistence of coral reefs requires the survival of adult coral colonies and their continued sexual reproduction despite thermal stress. To assess the trophic pathway (i.e., autotrophy and/or heterotrophy) used to develop gametes following bleaching, we thermally stressed Montipora capitata for...
