Disentangling thermal stress responses in a reef-calcifier and its photosymbionts by shotgun proteomics

Abstract The proliferation of key marine ecological engineers and carbonate producers often relies on their association with photosymbiotic algae. Evaluating stress responses of these organisms is important to predict their fate under future climate projections. Physiological approaches are limited...
