Exploring mechanisms that affect coral cooperation: symbiont transmission mode, cell density and community composition.

lobata , a higher symbiont density on day 2 was associated with lower parasitism, or an increase in proportional carbon translocation in heat-treated corals on day 17, and this relationship remained marginally significant even after applying a multiple test correction ( R 2 = 0.89, P = 0.06, Fig. 3C ).

In fact, the majority of species showed a trend in which greater initial cell densities were associated with a greater maintenance of cooperation under bleaching stress.
