    Cold tolerance of subtropical Porites lutea from the northern South China Sea

    Marginal scleractinian corals growing at their latitudinal limits should be quite sensitive to variations in winter sea surface temperatures (SSTs). An extreme cold event occurring in early 2008 offered a uniq...
