Tradeoffs to Thermal Acclimation: Energetics and Reproduction of a Reef Coral with Heat Tolerant Symbiodinium Type-D

Table 4

Results of repeated measures multivariate ANOVA showing the significant effect of sampling occasion (Jan, Feb, May, and Aug) on symbiont chlorophyll a content and lipids and the significant interaction between sampling occasion and bleaching condition on the symbiont densities of Acropora millepora colonies following a bleaching event in February 2006. *indicate significant results.
