Response to short term ultraviolet stress in the reef-building coral Pocillopora capitata (Anthozoa: Scleractinia)

Coral reefs are impacted by a range of environmental variables that affect their growth and survival, the main factors being the high irradiance and temperature fluctuations. Specimens of Pocillopora capitata Verrill 1864 were exposed to photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and ultraviolet radi...
