The following code was used in investigating the functional performance of Pocillopora grandis in La Paz, Mexico with symbionts Durusdinium glynnii or Cladocopium latusorum. Details of measurements are provided in paper, and all raw data is available in Dryad at the following link: (https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.b8gtht7j0)

Abundance <- three independent sampling efforts to estimate the abundance of P. grandis colonies housing C. latusorum, D. glynnii, or both (biodiversity survey in 2004, transect establishment and sampling in 2006, and polar/circular plot sampling in 2009).
Symbiont_size_dens_vol<- symbiont cell densities per host area, cell sizes, and total volume of symbiont to host.
MI <- Analysis code for comparing daily, seasonal, and experimental symbiont mitotic indices
Fecundity <- Analysis code for comparing host relative fecundity (oocyte size and number, spermary number, per polyp)
Growth <- Analysis code for comparing host calcification, buoyant weight, and linear extension
Calyx <- Analysis code for comparing host calyx dimensions
FIRe <- Analysis code for comparing photophysiology during heat experiment measured with FIRe.
