[Coral-List] New Paper in the ISME Journal

[dmbaker]

Dear Coral-Listers,

I’d like to draw your attention to a new paper on coral symbiosis and productivity in the ISME Journal.

The paper highlights and supports some of the hypotheses put forward by Jim Porter in his 1976 AmNat paper regarding the functional significance of colony and polyp morphology in coral productivity/nutrition across a range of host diversity.

The article is open-access and a pre-press version is now online here: http://www.nature.com/ismej/journal/vaop/ncurrent/abs/ismej201571a.html
