Stronger together: isograft fusion accelerates recovery and may facilitate heat-evolved symbiont transmission in bleached adult corals
Experimentally evolved, heat-tolerant algal symbionts (heat-evolved; HE) offer a promising means of enhancing coral holobiont thermotolerance under rapidly warming oceans. However, translating their benefits into restoration practices requires scalable delivery methods. Coral tissue fusion may provide one such pathway by facilitating HE symbiont transfer to wild corals; however, its feasibility…
