Domain-specific

• Coral Bleaching
  • Under normal conditions, zooxanthellae (dinoflagellates of the family Symbiodiniaceae) reside within the host's gastrodermal cells, supplying up to 90 percent of the coral's fixed carbon through photosynthesis

    This sourceThe endosymbiotic algae of reef corals, alongside polytrophic feeding and internal nutrient recycling, as the adaptation letting them flourish in nutrient-poor tropical waters.

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This work's DOI is recorded above but has not been resolved against an external catalogue, so nothing here confirms the work exists.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
