Physiological and molecular responses of lobe coral indicate nearshore adaptations to anthropogenic stressors.

Contrary to the expectation of coral lipid content being reduced by environmental stress, the total tissue lipid content in O-corals showed a marginally significant increase when transplanted to N-site (Tukey-HSD, P = 0.059, SI.1A ), while N-corals showed very little change in their lipid content between the sites (Fig. 2 B).
