FJMG51 sampled colonies (n=3)

colony 109

Pocillopora acuta

This sample was excluded from multivariate statistical analyses due to missing data. Other colony data can be found here: JMP Excel Ancillary data

colony 110

Pocillopora acuta

This sample was analyzed in full: JMP Excel Ancillary data

colony 111

Pocillopora acuta

This colony was deemed an outlier, namely due to aberrant Symbiodinium ubiquitin ligase mRNA expression: JMP Excel Ancillary data
