Supplemental Information

Table 1: Analysis of Molecular Variance (AMOVA) Fixation index (FST) values.

Analysis of Molecular Variance (AMOVA) Fixation index (FST) values showing no genetic differentiation among Orbicella faveolata and Orbicella franksi, among Orbicella faveolata within the two geographic locations or among Orbicella franksi within the two geographic locations.

Table 2: The sequencing coverage and mapping efficiency by geographic location and species.

Summary of sequence coverage ITS-2 amplicon sequencing of Flower Garden Banks, Gulf of Mexico. Individuals are sorted by geographic location and species using the 454 GS FLX platform.

Table 3: The significant Markov Chain Monte Carlo Generalized Linear Model results.

Only showing significant results from Poisson-lognormal Generalized Linear Models (GLMs). Haplotypes IV and V are significantly diminished at the west bank compared to the east bank (PMCMC<0.001). Haplotype V is also significantly more diminished in Orbicella faveolata than in Orbicella franksi (PMCMC=0.002).

Figure 3: The percentage of reads for the four minor haplotypes by geographic location and species.

Percentage of minor Symbiodinium B1 haplotypes by geographic location and coral species. Only haplotypes I, III, IV, V are shown. The dominant Symbiodinium B1 haplotype II, used 93.26% across all individuals, is not shown. (East: Orbicella faveolata = 27,121 sequences, East: Orbicella franksi = 40,078 sequences, West: Orbicella faveolata = 26,143 sequences, West: Orbicella franksi = 27,376 sequences)

Figure 4: Distribution of abundance of two haplotypes significant by site.

Distribution of abundance (log2 transformed) of Symbiodinium type B1 haplotypes IV and V in east and west Flower Garden Banks, Gulf of Mexico from the Poisson-lognormal model. Circles indicate Orbicella faveolata. Triangles indicate Orbicella franksi. Haplotypes I, II and III did not have significant effects, not shown.
