GNPS - Coral color morphs exhibit distinct microbial and proteomic profiles linked to stress and immune mechanisms in a changing ocean

Coral species often display a variety of color morphs, yet, key biological and ecological implications of such phenotypic variation remain underexplored. Here we present the first proteomic and untargeted lipidomic and metabolomic survey to explore the biological characteristics and potential ecological significance of different color morphs (pink and brown) of healthy Pocillopora verrucosa sampled along a latitudinal gradient
