Fig 2. Symbiodinium parameters in branches of the Caribbean gorgonian corals Eunicea tourneforti, E. flexuosa and Pseudoplexaura porosa exposed to ambient and elevated temperatures.

Fig 2

Symbiodinium (Sym) density (A), and chlorophyll a (Chl a) content per Symbiodinium cell (B), and per surface area (C) after five days at ambient, 29.5°C (gray) or elevated, 32°C (white) temperatures. Data are mean ± SE. Mixed model analyses that yielded significant species (species), temperature (temp) and/or interaction (int) effects are noted in the panels, (*) denotes comparisons in which the interaction term was significant and the planned contrast analyses detected significant temperature effects. Sample sizes in panels A, B, C were 11, 9, and 10 in E. tourneforti, 12, 11 and 11 in E. flexuosa, and 10 in A-C in P. porosa.
