Coral Reef Monitoring: From Cytological Parameters to Community Indices

Table 1

Results of the regression between the cytological tests of samples from the young coral communities. Samples were collected from Stylophora pistillata (Sty) and Pocillopora damicornis (Po). In each square, the top figure is 𝑟² and the bottom is the 𝑃 value. MNT: micronucleus test, SSBs: −log single strand and Es a: Esterase activity.
