Data and scripts associated with the publication “Environmental, host, and symbiont drivers of heat tolerance in a species complex of reef-building corals”

Phenotypic variation in the heat tolerance of reef-building corals was measured across the Great Barrier Reef under the Reef Restoration and Adaptation Program’s Genetic Basis of Coral Traits project. This dataset focuses on measurements of experimental acute heat stress responses for 583 colonies of Acropora hyacinthus from 17 reefs, along with bleaching responses for an additional 60 colonies at 1 reef. Data includes physiological response variables, field collection metadata, host genomic cluster assignments, Symbiodiniaceae ITS2 variants, environmental predictor variables, as well as scripts used to analyse variation in heat tolerance traits.

本数据集基于珊瑚礁修复与适应计划（Reef Restoration and Adaptation Program）旗下的「珊瑚性状遗传基础」研究项目，于大堡礁全域范围内测定了造礁珊瑚耐热性的表型变异。本数据集聚焦于来自17个礁体的583个鹿角杯形珊瑚（Acropora hyacinthus）群体的实验性急性热应激响应测量数据，同时包含某单个礁体上额外60个该珊瑚群体的白化响应数据。数据集涵盖生理响应变量、野外采集元数据、宿主基因组聚类分组结果、虫黄藻（Symbiodiniaceae）ITS2序列变异型、环境预测变量，以及用于分析耐热性状变异的分析脚本。
