Includes proportion of different Symbiodinaceae genera hosted, and symbiont-to-host cell ratios (symbiont density). \n\nThese data correspond to research presented in Williamson et al. (2021), published in Coral Reefs and funded in part by the NSF project \"Symbiont Shifts on Reefs\". They were used to test if Orbicella faveolata recruits could establish symbiosis with D. trenchii supplied by nearby “donor” colonies and examined the resulting ecological trade-offs to evaluate early Symbiodiniaceae manipulation as a scalable tool for reef restoration. We exposed aposymbiotic recruits to 29 °C or 31 °C and to fragments of Montastraea cavernosa (containing Cladocopium ITS2 type C3) or Siderastrea siderea (containing D. trenchii). Next, a subset of recruits were exposed to a 60-day heat stress. These data include survivorship and symbiont acquisition rates, symbiont identity and density data (derived using qPCR), polyp area measurements, and scoring of bleaching and survivorship during a heat stress experiment. Overall, proportion of D. trenchii hosted was negatively correlated with polyp size and symbiont density, indicating a trade-off between growth (of both host and symbiont) and heat tolerance. These findings suggest that, while donor colonies may be effective sources for seeding coral recruits with thermotolerant symbionts, practitioners will need to balance the likely benefits and costs of these approaches when designing restoration strategies.\n\ncdm_data_type = Other\nVARIABLES:\nSample (unitless)\ntank (unitless)\ntemp (unitless)\nadult (unitless)\ndays (days)\nCoral_CT_mean (unitless)\nA_CT_mean (unitless)\nB_CT_mean (unitless)\nC_CT_mean (unitless)\n...
