583 colonies of Acropora hyacinthus were measured for acute heat stress responses across the Great Barrier Reef. The dataset includes physiological response variables, host genomic cluster assignments, Symbiodiniaceae ITS2 variants, and environmental predictors. It was collected under the Reef Restoration and Adaptation Program's Genetic Basis of Coral Traits project.
Use Cases
- Modeling coral heat tolerance based on host genomic cluster assignments
- Analyzing the relationship between Symbiodiniaceae ITS2 variants and bleaching responses
- Investigating the influence of environmental predictor variables on physiological stress outcomes
Strengths
- Includes data from 583 coral colonies across 17 distinct reefs
- Combines phenotypic measurements with host genomic and symbiont variant data
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count for the bleaching response subset (60 colonies) is significantly smaller than the main dataset
