Abstract

Variable temperature regimes that expose corals to sub-lethal heat stress have been recognized as a mechanism to increase coral thermal tolerance and lessen coral bleaching. However, there is a need to better understand which thermal regimes maximize coral stress hardening. Here, standardized thermal stress assays were used to determine the relative thermal tolerance of three divergent genera of corals (Acropora, Pocillopora, Porites) originating from six reef sites representing an increasing gr...

Dataset "Short-term heat stress assay Heron Island - physiological data" contains a supplemental file ed50.csv which contains Photochemical yield and color score data from the Heron Island short term heat assay which was used to determine effective dose 50 (ED50, thermal tolerance).  The Heron Island ED50 values are included in this thermal tolerance comparison dataset.
