Calcification rates and translocation of photosynthetically fixed carbon in P. damicornis. a Calcification rates expressed as daily skeletal mass increments normalized to skeletal surface area. b Translocation of photosynthetically fixed carbon from symbionts to the host at control and elevated temperatures, as determined with stable isotopic tracer analysis. Values for calcification are means ± standard error (n = 9). Asterisks (*) indicate significant difference between control and heat stressed PdC at designated time points (Tukey’s post hoc test, p < 0.05). The inequality sign ( ≠) indicates significant difference between corals harboring Cladocopium or Durusdinium at the beginning of the thermal stress manipulation (Tukey’s post hoc test, p < 0.05)
