... declined or did not change significantly. There was no significant correlation between the magnitude of gene expression and emission induction of monoterpenes or methyl salicylate. Furthermore, the emitted monoterpenes did not exhibit any apparent light-dependent behavior, which suggests...

... and genetic differences. We hypothesized that dispersed oil would be more detrimental to coral health than oil alone and that this difference would be detectable in the gene expression response of the colonies even at sub-lethal concentrations. In two experiments, four and six colonies of red and white color...
