DDN assimilation rates  in the skeletal endolithic layer, host tissue, algal symbionts, and released mucus were standardized by a surface area (ng N cm−2 h−1), with the skeleton excluded in b, and c by dry weight (DW) (ng N g−1 DW h−1). d Nitrogen fixation rates in released coral mucus and water column particulate organic matter, standardized by dry weight (ng N g−1 DW h−1). Error bars represent the standard deviation in all panels.
