... worked with the common reef-building, Indo-Pacific symbiotic coral S. pistillata (order Scleractinia, family Pocilloporidae) using time-lapse imaging to measure the rate at which calcein entered the ECM from the surrounding seawater. We derived a half-time of calcein influx from these data...

... to be representative of the Scleractinia. Tropical scleractinian corals provide an interesting system in which to study the effects of temperature on larval metabolism, because members of this taxon are classically viewed as living close to their upper thermal limit and, therefore, are susceptible to increases...
