Abstract

This dataset represents ITS2 amplicon sequences from Acropora hyacinthus samples collected at mutliple timepoints in Moorea, French Polynesia after the mass bleaching event of 2019.

To assess in hospite symbiont community dynamics in a major reef-building coral, Acropora hyacinthus, during a mass bleaching event we sampled small pieces of tissue from each colony and performed ITS2 amplicon sequencing. Samples were collected at the height of the bleaching event (May 2019), 3 months after (August 2019) and 5 months later (October 2019). Samples were collected at 3 different reef zones, backreef (~1 meter depth), shallow forereef (~5 meter depth), and deeper forereef (~14 meter depth).

Raw sequence data have been deposited in the NCBI Sequence Read Archive (SRA) under BioProject number PRJNA833391. This dataset also includes relevant metadata for each sample.
