The Effect of a Sublethal Temperature Elevation on the Structure of Bacterial Communities Associated with the Coral Porites compressa
Figure 2
Maximum quantum yield of P. compressa during acclimation to experimental tanks (acclimation) and after a temperature increase of 1°C at Day 10 (treatment group tanks only; manipulation). Each point represents a single PAM measurement (points are shifted slightly in the ±x direction in order to reduce overlap). Lines are least-squares linear regressions. Control colonies: closed circles, solid regression; treatment colonies: x’s, dashed regression. Note: the treatment and control regression lines overlap during the “acclimation” phase.
