We argue that «active» management using assisted migration of holobionts adapted to the known extremes in temperature and acidity should be considered. (sciencemag.org)
Important gradients in stress levels, and therefore local adaptation of the coral holobiont exist on coral reefs across today's oceans. (sciencemag.org)
Although it does not change the basic rules of evolution, holobionts do have a way to respond to environmental challenges that is not available to individual organisms: They can alter the composition of their bacterial communities. (sciencedaily.com)
