Increased diversity and concordant shifts in community structure of coral‐associated Symbiodiniaceae and bacteria subjected to chronic human disturbance
Both coral‐associated bacteria and endosymbiotic algae (Symbiodiniaceae spp.) are vitally
important for the biological function of corals. Yet little is known about their co‐occurrence …
