Project description:the identity of coral proteins expressed at onset of metamorphosis (swimming planula to ‘settler’ stages) was investigated using planulae released from 4 distinct brooding Pocillopora acuta coral colonies, to consider maternal carry-over effects on the variability of larval proteomes.the identity of coral proteins expressed at onset of metamorphosis (swimming planula to ‘settler’ stages) was investigated using planulae released from 4 distinct brooding Pocillopora acuta coral colonies, to consider maternal carry-over effects on the variability of larval proteomes.
