[Coral-List] new paper on coral adaptation/acclimatization to env. stress

[Daniel Barshis]

Dear Coral-list,
     I thought many of you might be interested in a recent publication
exploring the mechanisms behind coral resilience to environmental stress.

Protein expression and genetic structure of the coral Porites lobata in an
environmentally extreme Samoan back reef: does host genotype limit
phenotypic plasticity?
