Dimethylsulphoniopropionate (DMSP) as an Indicator of Bleaching Tolerance in Scleractinian Corals
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2015 Thermal tolerance tests on Acropora millepora, a common Indo-Pacific hard coral, have shown that adult corals can acquire increased thermal tolerance by shuffling existing type C to type D Symbiodinium zooxanthellae when subjected to increased seawater ...

Genetic Population Structure and Distribution of the Small Giant Clam <i>Tridacna maxima</i> in Indo-Pacific Coral Reefs: History Dynamics, Present Status and Future Trends. [PDF]
Ecol EvolSix distinct groups were identified in T. maxima across the Indo‐Pacific region, which was shaped by the ocean currents and the late Pleistocene glaciations. Gene‐flow analysis supported the center of origin hypothesis for the high biodiversity of the Indo‐Malay Archipelago.
