Acute temperature effects on cilia beating increase coral deoxygenation.

In contrast to the net advective flux, the net diffusive flux (averaged along the coral surface) fluctuated on an increasing trend, with an initial value of 0.006 nmol O 2 cm −2 s −1 at 27°C, 0.004 nmol O 2 cm −2 s −1 at 32°C, 0.007 nmol O 2 cm −2 s −1 at 35°C, 0.006 nmol O 2 cm −2 s −1 at 37°C, and increasing to 0.015 nmol O 2 cm −2 s −1 at 39°C ( Fig. 3E ).
