Abstract

Laboratory results: Genotypes of symbionts detected in Orbicella faveolata recruits of different ages and different history of symbiont exposure (McIlroy/Coffroth Coral Reefs, 2017) (SymBioSys project)

Orbicella faveolata recruits inoculated with either Symbiodinium microadriaticum, Symbiodinium minutum, or maintained aposymbiotic (Control). These recruits were then exposed to different symbiont types at different ages and sampled 1-2 months later for symbiont genotyping.. These data were used in McIlroy and Coffroth (2017).
