Synergistic effects of thermal stress and estuarine discharge on transcriptomic variation of Montastraea cavernosa corals in southeast Florida

Variation in whole-transcriptome gene expression patterns was examined in Montastraea cavernosa corals exposed to thermal stress and estuarine discharge using the Tag-Seq pipeline. In an in situ experiment, corals from a marginal reef system in southeast Florida were sampled over nine time points from 2013-2016 corresponding to wet and dry seasons and managed freshwater discharge events. In an ex situ experiment, coral genotypes were exposed to a factorial experiment with thermal stress and estuarine discharge treatments to assess synergistic effects of multiple stressors on coral health.
