Correlations between expression of coexpressed gene clusters and survival of Acropora hyacinthus transplants. (a) Survival of individuals in the moderately variable (MV) pool is correlated with pretransplant expression across 403 contigs in Cluster 10 (p = .019, R 2 = .26). (b) Pretransplant expression of 110 contigs in Cluster 25 is negatively correlated with survival in the highly variable (HV) pool (p = .026, R 2 = .24) as well as growth in the MV pool (p = .014, R 2 = .30). Expression of coexpressed clusters is represented by the first principal component of gene expression counts across all genes in that cluster. Growth is represented by percent increase in buoyant weight
