throughout its entire latitudinal distribution range in the West Pacific i e. from tropical peninsular Thailand (<10°N) to high-latitudinal outlying coral communities in lacquer (>35°N) using "polymerase arrange reactions (PCR) restriction break length polymorphism (RFLP) and phylogenetic analyses of DNA sequences of the nuclear large subunit (lsu) of rDNA," while "single-stranded conformational polymorphism (SSCP) of PCR products was employed to evaluate its higher sensitivity for low-abundance PCR products in mixed samples."
What was learnedThe results of this enterprise convincingly demonstrated. "for the first time," in the words of the six scientists who conducted the chew over. "that phylotype D is the dominant
in scleractinian corals throughout tropical reefs and marginal outlying non-reefal coral communities." In addition they learned that this particular symbiont clade "favors 'marginal habitats' where other symbionts are poorly suited to the stresses such as irradiance temperature fluctuations sedimentation etc."
What it meansBeing a study component of the symbiont repertoire of most scleractinian corals in most places the apparent near-universal presence of
[our italics] with environmental heterogeneities and survive the consequences (e g. acquire from coral bleaching)," which suggests that the climate-alarmist claim of the impending transfer of the majority of earth's corals in the face of continued global warming may be little more than a fairy tale from the dark side.
