The response of the scleractinian coral Turbinaria reniformis to thermal stress depends on the nitrogen status of the coral holobiont
The response of the scleractinian coral Turbinaria reniformis to thermal stress depends on the nitrogen status of the coral holobiont Eric Béraud, François Gevaert, Cécile Rottier, Christine Ferrier-Pagès Journal of Experimental Biology 2013 216: 2665-2674; doi: 10.1242/jeb.085183 (Bolding is mine, for emphasis.) In non-stressed healthy corals, it has been shown that nutrient addition (nitrogen alone or in combination with phosphorus) may negatively impact […]
Is the coral-algae symbiosis really ‘mutually beneficial’ for the partners?
Is the coral-algae symbiosis really ‘mutually beneficial’ for the partners? Scott Wooldridge DOI: 10.1002/bies.200900182 · Source: PubMed In terms of the demand for CO2(aq), an enlarged endosymbiont population increases the likelihood of CO2(aq) becoming a limiting internal substrate during periods of peak photosynthesis [18, 19]. Several environmental factors favour increased zooxanthellae densities (particularly on a per host […]
