Comparative transcriptomics of two coral holobionts collected during the 2017 El Niño heat wave reveal differential stress response mechanisms
Although coral species exhibit differential susceptibility to stressors, little is known about the
underlying molecular mechanisms. Here we compared scleractinian corals Montipora …
