Fig. 2

Coral larvae change chemotactic responses through time. Larval migration index (MI) is shown as a function of time for inorganic and organic chemical cues. The colored regions show one SE from the mean. (a) MI for inorganic cues 50× Ca2+ and 10× Mg2+ for C. natans larvae. (b) MI for inorganic cues 50× Ca2+ and 10× Mg2+ for O. faveolata larvae. (c) MI for the organic cue crustose coralline algae exudates (CCA) and inorganic cue 50× Ca2+ for C. natans larvae. (d) MI for the organic cue CCA and inorganic cue 50× Ca2+ for O. faveolata larvae.
