Evidence for microbially-mediated tradeoffs between growth and defense throughout coral evolution by Hannah E. Epstein, Tanya Brown, Ayọmikun O. Akinrinade, Ryan McMinds, F. Joseph Pollock, Dylan Sonett, Styles Smith, David G. Bourne, Carolina S. Carpenter, Rob Knight, Bette L. Willis, Mónica Medina, Joleah B. Lamb, Rebecca Vega Thurber, Jesse R. Zaneveld
