Persistence of phenotypic responses to short-term heat stress in the tabletop coral Acropora hyacinthus.

As a result, we found a highly significant positive relationship between visual bleaching scores on Day 0 and Day 7 post-stress ( Fig 3A and S2 Table , linear mixed effects model, p < 2.2e -16 , marginal R 2 = 0.863, df = 44), such that VBS at Day 0 post-stress was highly predictive of VBS throughout the following seven-day period.
