Reef Corals: Mutualistic Symbioses Adapted to Nutrient-Poor Environments
Abstract
Adaptations resulting from the possession of endosymbiotic algae enable reef corals to flourish in nutrient-poor tropical waters. The major adaptations are (a) a poly trophic feeding capacity; (b) conservation of nutrients, such as nitrogen, by retention and recycling within a coral head; and (c) acceleration of calcification in the light. The functions of algae and animals thus superimposed result in an association which can exploit the environment better than either associant can alone.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
