Light and dark biofilm adaptation impacts larval settlement in diverse coral species

Light and dark biofilm adaptation impacts larval settlement in diverse coral species

Abstract Background Recovery of degraded coral reefs is reliant upon the recruitment of coral larvae, yet the mechanisms behind coral larval settlement are not well understood, especially for non-acroporid species. Biofilms associated with reef substrates, such as coral rubble or crustose coralline...
