Table 2 Results of the redundancy analysis (RDA) to see which Symbiodiniaceae traits are predictive of the elementome. 9999 permutations were run. Variance inflation factors (VIF) were used to assess for multicollinearity. * denotes a significant p value at the 95% confidence interval. The explanatory factors included in the RDA were: absorption coefficient for the PSII light harvesting complex (σLHCII), electron transfer capacity from plastoquinone pigment PQA to plastocyanin (τ1), the plastoquinone re-oxidation rate (τ2), the plastoquinone re-oxidation rate normalised by the oxidised portion of the plastoquinone pool (τ2/PQOX), photochemical dissipation (1-C), dynamic non-photochemical dissipation (1-Q), growth rate, and cell volume
