Table 3 Comparison of symbiont physiology across hosts and temperature treatments. ANalysis Of SIMilarity (ANOSIM with 9,999 permutations), for day 14. ANOSIM for each host/symbiont combination in response to temperature (Top). Comparison of ambient temperature symbiont physiology within hosts found to contain the same symbiont type (Bottom).

From: Host–symbiont combinations dictate the photo-physiological response of reef-building corals to thermal stress
