  1. Pearson’s rank correlation analysis of coral thermal tolerance thresholds (ED50s) and specific growth rates (SGRs, % growth/day) of nursery corals after 176 days of growth in a common garden rebar nursery. Letters indicate statistically significant differences in SGR (Tukey HSD multiple comparisons).
