Project: New insights into the response of reef corals to climate change using the symbiont to host cell ratio as a metric of bleaching susceptibility (Reef coral symbioses)

Tissue biopsies were taken from control and bleached corals of Montastraea cavernosa during ~5 months of bleaching and recovery under two pCO2 levels. This experimental study was undertaken in tanks at the University of Miami.

Sample collection metadata is reported here. However, access to the samples themselves will be restricted until analysis is completed, typically within 2 years of collection.
