Pushing the limits: expanding the temperature tolerance of a coral photosymbiont through differing selection regimes

Hugo J. Scharfenstein, Lesa M. Peplow, Carlos Alvarez‐Roa…·Madeleine J. H. van Oppen

This study shows that fluctuating temperature regimes, especially diurnal oscillations, increase thermal tolerance in the coral photosymbiont Durusdinium trenchii compared to stable temperatures.
