Evidence for microbially-mediated tradeoffs between growth and defense throughout coral evolution

Evidence for microbially-mediated tradeoffs between growth and defense throughout coral evolution

Abstract Background Evolutionary tradeoffs between life-history strategies are important in animal evolution. Because microbes can influence multiple aspects of host physiology, including growth rate and susceptibility to disease or stress, changes in animal-microbial symbioses have the potential to...
