Larval physiology from shallow (yellow) versus deep (blue) colonies

(A) Closed Circuit Rebreather divers setting planulae traps at 45 m depth in Eilat, photo by H. Nativ.

(B) Planulae from deep (top) and shallow (bottom) colonies taken using a binocular microscope, photo by J. Bellworthy. Note differences in pigmentation and size.

(C) Elliptical volume of planulae (n shallow = 96, n deep = 76).

(D) Protein concentration per individual planula (n = 5 replicates per depth).

(E) Number of symbiont cells per individual planula (n = 5 replicates per depth).

(F) Rate of oxygen consumption per individual larva (n = 21 shallow, n = 18 deep). Horizontal black lines within boxes are median values and box limits represent first and third quartiles. Whiskers represent 1.5 times the interquartile range. Round black points are individual sample data. Statistical tests (ANOVA) compare data for shallow versus deep planulae; ns = not significant, ∗ = p < 0.05, ∗∗∗∗ = p < 0.0001.
