The proteomic response of the reef coral Pocillopora acuta to experimentally elevated temperatures
AB Mayfield, YJ Chen, CY Lu, CS Chen - Plos one, 2018 - journals.plos.org
Although most reef-building corals live near the upper threshold of their thermotolerance,
some scleractinians are resilient to temperature increases. For instance, Pocillopora acuta …
