This document summarizes a research study that aims to investigate the adaptations of the coral Montastraea cavernosa to different depths through a reciprocal transplant experiment. The study will transplant corals between shallow sites at 3 meters and mesophotic sites at 50 meters at three locations to examine changes in coral morphology, symbiont physiology, and gene expression over time. Data on various metrics will be collected from the corals during the experiment to analyze adaptations to light and temperature conditions at different depths.
