I don't know why it has taken this long to nail it down. All the old pulse-chase and substrate inhibition experiments were done with the anemone in isolation and radiolabeling CO2. I TA'ed/co-taught my advisor's class called Symbiosis and we went into detail about these type of experiments. Some of the students found interesting papers to discuss but none addressed this question. We'll probably use this paper next Spring for sure.Kevin Zelniohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14192385384151149566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4516432143173419194.post-31642330326916759382007-08-14T13:16:00.000-04:002007-08-14T13:16:00.000-04:00It's nice to finally have old suspicions confirmed...It's nice to finally have old suspicions confirmed. Some marine aquarists noticed this quite a while back. While good lighting is important for coral (or anemone) survival, feeding enables the animal to grow (and repair?).<BR/><BR/>Thank you for bringing this one up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
