However, extreme reef-neighbouring ecosystems such as mangrove lagoons that are routinely subjected to frequent low-pO exposure (i.e., low partial pressure of O), high temperature fluctuations, and low-pH, may be harbouring corals with a higher capacity for oxyregulation, rendering them more resilient to adapt to life in low-pO surroundings. We investigated differences in the hypoxic response of the common reef-building coral Pocillopora acuta following 1-year transplantation between Low Isles reef flat (a comparatively more stable O environment) and Woody Island mangrove lagoon (a more variable and oftentimes low-pO habitat), on the Great Barrier Reef. Analysing hypoxia response curves and metabolic function and physiology, we found that mangrove P. acuta retained attributes for hypoxic tolerance when transferred between habitats.
